So, Mum is going to buy me a new phone, and she says I don't have a budget. (spoiled prick much?)

Anyways, what is the best phone I could get for the following uses:

I need alot of space for music and stuffs.

Something that supports CyanogenMod.

A big resolution preferably, having said that 1080p on a phone looks fine.

Something big, I have bass player hands. Not a Note or a phone tablet however.

And, something with a durable panel...

Cheers guys.

Moto X 64gb edition.

Pretty much the only phone that really fits your bill, I think. I'm not sure about Cyanogenmod support though.

It'd be easier to figure out what phones support the level of Cyanogen you feel comfortable with and go from there. Whether it be Nightly builds or actual Release builds.

DON'T MAKE ANY DECISIONS RIGHT NOW! 

CES 2015 is going to be well underway next week, which means PHONE ANNOUNCEMENTS! HTC is boasting that their new products for 2015 will be HTC's best lineup ever. And I can't believe I'm saying this, but the Galaxy S6 sounds really promising. Apparently they've completely redesigned TouchWiz and Samsung has said that they are focused on making sure that everything that is put into the phone will work well, which is great news! So many new phones will be announced next week! Be patient and look into tech news next week.

Like some people said, wait to see what'll come out, but if you don't like them, i suggest Droid Turbo :)

 

It has a snapdragon, so it'll get CM eventually. It has a kickass screen with a kickass battery :) And it's only 5.2 inches :)
