Second phone for Running/GPS

[tardus]

I have an LG V10. I'd like to get something smaller and cheaper to use as an MP3 player/GPS for running and biking (GPS for biking...).
By GPS I mean MyTracks app equivalent.

Requirements:
-Nano sim
-Prefer sd expandability
-Runs marshmallow
-Good battery life
-NFC not needed
-Bluetooth
-Low cost - under $150
-NFC not needed
-5" or 5.2" screen
-somewhat compatible with T-Mobile US
-I'm comfortable buying from Swappa

I was thinking of something similar to a Moto G but uses micro sim not nano. Any other ideas - especially out of the box appreciated!

That's a tall task... I'll ask around.

Note that I can buy used. The Moto G 2015 (3rd Gen) 8GB model XT1540 is looking the best for around $100 used. Thanks any help appreciated!

The Moto G seems like a solid choice.

How about the htc one m8? apparently the t-mo version has MM available. I see some used ones on Swappa at or under 150. I'm not sure about the battery life though. However, I think the Moto G 2015 might one up this.

yeah, the Moto G line is probably your best bet...

I've had several versions of the Moto G - They are my "workout" phones because they were just..durable - never had any major issues with them

Thoughts on Moto E? It's small and has sd which for the purpose I mentioned is good.

How about a Sony Xperia Z3? They should be available for little and it is Water&Dust resistant. Also great camera and battery life.

This is a great suggestion but the T-Mo branded one is STILL on Lollipop and the unlocked one will be very hard to find at $150.
