Looking for an HTC One X replacement. (US)

[codytappen]

I've had my current HTC One X for a little over 2 years now; the screen is broken, I've run out space for anything other than my base music and apps, my current rom is abysmally unstable, and I can hardly get half a day out of the phone with medium usage. I'm looking to find a new phone with the following features (the number next to the feature is how willing I am to compromise 1 being not at all): Micro SD card slot (1), Easily unlockable/stock Android/current sense (1), 4.7-5inch display (2), all day battery life while using Bluetooth (2), solid build quality (3), and front facing speakers (3).

 

Choices so far.

1. I think the HTC One will be perfect, but I'm not sure as to whether or not it has a micro SD card slot.

2. LG G3 looks like a nice choice; however, the speaker seams to be horribly positioned and the screen is a bit too large for my taste.

 

Can anyone enlighten me about the One M8? Are there any phones I am leaving out of my decision making? Thanks in advance.

Are you not wanting that large of a screen, or that large of a phone?
The G3 is smaller than the HTC One. Even with the 0.5" larger screen.

Both have MicroSD card slots.

 

If you want front facing speakers you only really have two choices; HTC M8 or Sony Z2.

Okay, I was talking primarily about device size and nice realize my idiocy as far as the size of both devices mentioned. Does either have a particular battery life advantage? If not it looks like I'll go with the One for the front facing speakers.

The HTC has better battery life...though I can't remember if it's removable or not.

Got it, removability isn't a big issue for me. I'm going to get the One M8.
