What are the minimum specs you require an Android phone to meet?

[Kaido]

Specs:

1. Processor: Snapdragon 808 and above (620, 810, 820, etc.)
2. RAM: 3 GB
3. Display: 1080p IPS LCD Display (or greater res)
4. Camera: OIS Rear Camera
5. Storage: 32 GB (or more)
6. Software: Running the latest version of Android without a heavy ugly skin (or just stock)
7. Features: NFC, Fingerprint Reader, Qi Wireless Charging

Explanations:

1. I want a high-end 64-bit processor to be future proofed for at least 2 years.
2. 3 GB should be the standard of top tier phones.
3. No AMOLED/OLED to avoid burn in problems. I'm also not a fan of the supersaturated looks. Preferably, I want a 1080p display. It's where I think we should draw the line.
4. Even Apple has OIS now.
5. 16 GB should be done away with. I can't see how it would be enough with the a skin + carrier bloat taking up space and apps, especially games, becoming becoming larger in file size. 32 GB is great for me (current 32 GB Nexus 5 owner), but with 64 GB I would never worry.

If those specifications are the minimum get ready to pay $700+ for every phone you buy off-contract from most OEMs.

Not if it's a Nexus
