Hello
I know not too much about phones so perhaps someone can give me some guidelines. I live in UK.
I would like (this is important):
1. To be android or custom rom based on it. Can't stand Apple's rigidity.
2. Long lasting battery. The longer the better, I dont care if the phone is bulky. And replaceable (officially supported or not, but phisically replaceable). I am not going to change the whole phone in a year or two just for a damn battery.
3. Memory card slot. Not negotiable.
4. I need a decent to good camera.
I am neutral to (don't care too much):
5. I like phones with round corners not square ones.
6. I don't care about water resistant capabilities.
7. It can be 1-2 generations old.
8. I don't care about gimmicks: fingerprints, updates, usb, new features..
9. I am willing to pay good money if its worth it (400? 600?)
10. I am not after big screen phones
I am familiar only with samsung's S series (S3, S4, S5, etc) and apple's iphones.
I don't know anything about One, xperia, lg.. etc..
How about those chinese ones? Can I ship one, change language... root it..? Is it worth it?
Please suggest 1-2-3 models that falls under the above requirements, or give me some pros and cons.
I know I can google it and read reviews and such but I dont want numbers, I want personal oppinions of people that know or had their hands on it.
Thank you
