SO i'm in the market for a new phone to replace my iPhone 5s. Here's my requirements:

 

-android 6.0

-Sub $150 USD (can push to $200 if it's worth it)

-I would like to purchase off Amazon (I have prime shipping)

-AT&T 4G LTE compatible

- ~5 inch screen, maybe a bit bigger

-I would like it to have expandable storage (not super important)

-decent camera (not super important)

-all day battery life (decent to heavy usage)

 

Thanks guys!

You know that guy that games on a MacBook? I'm that guy.

How is the fingerprint sensor on the Huawei?

also, one of the reviews says it has a  lot of preinstalled apps. Is this an issue or can they be easily removed?
