Hi all!
I'm looking for a replacement for my trusty one plus one phone. I must say it's great and it's still doing pretty ok, save for the battery life which became atrocious especially on data. I can play around with it, get the lineage os and maybe it'll help for some time, but the bottom line is that the time has come to start slowly looking into alternatives.
I normally wouldn't mind sticking with 1+, but I've been hearing the 1+5 has lots of issues. Also - the 560euro price tag (I'd be looking at the bigger version) is just too much for me. Ideally I'd like to stay below 400euro (perhaps 450 euro).
So far the only phone that really caught my attention is the xiaomi mi5s plus. It would;ve been great if not for two relatively major issues - lack of gorilla glass and lack of support for European LTE bands.
Could you guys suggest anything similar?
My main requirements are:
-good and stable performance (doesn't have to be the top snapdragon on the market, but a decent runner-up is a must - I do some gaming occasionally)
-good battery life (it has to survive the whole day without charging on data - quick charge options are great but they will not help me when I don't have a socket around).
-size rather on the bigger side (I got used to 1+1 - can be a bit bigger as well, but has to fit in a trouser pocket)
-decently built (I've use my 1+1 for more than 3 years now without any protection and it's still great - so something comparable)
-acceptable price tag - below 450eur (preferably below 400).
-good calling sound quality
-audio jack (seriously - the fact that I need to put it in requirements is ridiculous).
-at least 64GB of storage space (not an issue if there's an sd slot)
-dual sim
The things I don't care that much about:
-photography gimmicks. I have a professional camera - if I want to take good photos I use this one. The one in a mobile phone is just for occasional family selfies and documentary purposes. Not that it absolutely has to be bad though, but it's not what sells the phone to me.
-external speakers. Couldn't care less about "stereo sound from a mobile phone" etc - I never listen to anything through the speakers - only through the headphones
-super-high screen resolution - if the only effect is to drain my battery faster then I don't care about it that much.
Can anyone suggest anything along these lines? Is there anything on the market or is it better to wait for some time?
Thanks!
