Recommend me a phone
They are mostly stereo.
From my experience, it's more important that Audio is put out on both sides: Left and Right.
Much rather, than beeing actual front. Side is also fine~.
Also, it doesn't really have to be a true 2 channel stereo separation, the most important thing is, that the Audio sounds, as if it's comming right from the Middle.
But there are a few options with "stereo speakers" (and not just 1 speaker from the bottom).
Many of them however use the Earpiece as an "assistant", which does help.
Pixel 3 (XL) is one of them, Galaxy S9(+) and S10 now too, Pocophone F1 does.
Battery Life: I wouldn't say that lower end Chipsets from 600 series will lead to better battery Life than higher end Chipsets from 800 series.
Depending on what you do, the 600 chipset will have to work longer to be done with it's work.
Mostly, the best battery life smartphones are from High End regions.
Oneplus 6t, despite having "only" 3700 mAh, does have a pretty damn impressive battery life. 8 Hours+ screen on time isn't rare. But no stereo sound here.
I can recommend the 6T as an overall allrounder absolutely. The Software is awesome, more than enough Performance and Ram, Display is perfectly fine, Cameras are not the best, but on a very high level (a bit higher with GCam. Btw: There are a few different GCam versions, with different XML preset settings out there. Like for more natural colors, saturated colors, differences in sharpness etc).
Speaker has a bad position. It does sound very fine to me. It can be better, but i have no complains. However, positioning is bad (easy to cover up during Gaming etc), and no stereo at all. With Root and Mods it could be, but not without.
Aux Input: There isn't one, but i guess you mean a 3.5mm Headphone Jack (which is an Output, not Input But enough nitpicking). Most won't have it anymore. But np, just use an Adapter. I use the Oneplus 6t adapter, i have that constantly on my inears. Works fine, it's a small workaround, no issue there.
Also, having 8gb Ram feels awesome. sometimes, i have literaly more than 6gb used Ram, when i check it. Which means, at least 1 or 2 Apps more are held ready in Ram, compared to 6gb. But 8gb instead of 6 isn't the reason i spend 30 bucks more on Oneplus 6t. The Main Reason was the different Color options. Midnight (Matte) Black and Thunder Purple look so much better than glossy mirror Black.
Pocophone F1 is a decent Budget option, with a huge battery. But Camera is just mediocre. Okay at day, meh at low light (no OIS). Using the GCam port makes a HUGE difference.
Also, MIUI isn't "minimal bloatware", but there are several stock-like Custom Roms available.
Pixel phones won't have the best battery life. But it's decent, lowest bloat you can have, great camera experience, and still some bezels.
