Need help looking for an inexpensive and compact, smartphone.

[TetraSky]

I need help and would like some recommendations.

I'm currently shopping for a small form factor smartphone (I have small hands), from what I could tell, a phone similarly sized to the iphone 5 would be ideal for me. (saw it in person at walmart, if only it wasn't ridiculously expensive, even when used...)

 

Right now, I have my eyes on the Motorola Moto E, since it is under my allocated budget and support the "latest tech" (LTE). But I've read in reviews that the display is mediocre at best(can hardly be seen when outside even at the highest brightness) and the touchscreen isn't too responsive either... So now I don't know. Which is why I'm looking for suggestions.

 

 

My requirement:
Network : Must support 4G/LTE

Screen Size : Preferably between 4inch and 4.9inch.

Overall size of the phone : more or less the same size as the iphone 5

Budget : Keeping it under $250 CANADIAN dollar, with shipping would be GREAT.

Built-in Storage space : At least 8GB

OS : Android or Windows Phone 8/8.1/10 (iOS excluded due to the price being out of reach)

Unlocked

 

Bonus:

Expansion  : MicroSD support

Battery  : Good battery life, if it can last me all day, that'd be great. (or at the very least 10 hours)

Camera : Somewhat good rear camera. (I don't care for the front camera, will NEVER use that)

Screen Resolution : 720p resolution, but I know that this is wishful thinking for the price/size

Memory : 1GB of onboard memory

Processor : Quad core

Third Party firmware : Cyanogen support/a hacking community on XDA would be nice.

He asked for a phone with 10 hours.

OP, just don't leave the screen on. The display on the zenfone 2 drinks power.

lolol,

moto g 2nd gen is a long lifer

Zenfone 2 is out, it's WAY too big.
Moto G is pretty much borderline but I'll consider it.

z3 compact is completely outside of my budget. (it's over $600)

As for the willey phone... can you even buy that outside of europe? (I'm in Canada)

 

 

So far I can tell a few people didn't really bother reading the requirements... Especially for the size and budget.
