A background on me
I am a musician, music lover, and general audio enthusiast, who is interested in purchasing a reliable phone that is durable, features above average battery, and can capture and produce crisp/loud sound. I don’t need a $800 phone with top-of-the-line features. I want a reliable phone that would pare well with my interests.
COST: Under $500
OPERATING SYSTEM: Android
BATTERY: Lasts 24h+ under moderate use
STORAGE: 32gb+, preferably expandable
CAMERA: Able to focus at close objects, and performs well in taking darker shots
CARRIER: Unlocked and works with most carriers.
- Right now I'm on cricket but I heard cricket is going to be absorbed by AT&T so I want a phone that can do both.
OTHER FEATURES
# Good sound quality
- I want a 3.5mm aux port with...
- A good DAC,
- Loud speakers,
- And a good microphone
# Rear fingerprint scanner
- Doesn't have to be lightning fast
# Sturdy / drop resistance
- I don't want this phone to fall apart easily.
# Includes warranty
- Just in case it falls apart
# Water resistance
- I'm not planning on swimming with it, but water resistance would be nice.
# A clean UI, not filled with bloatware
- I just want simple.
