Budget Phone recommendations

PlayerX

Hello :D

I'm looking for a new phone, since my last one (lg p880 (4x hd)) is slowly getting to its end (after not even 3 and 1/2 years).

However, since I'm not so into phones and I don't know any good websites (where you can silter phones by their features), I find it difficult to choose which one to get next. Therefore I wanted to ask, if there is someone here that can help me out.

 

Here's a list of Features I want:

  • a price under 400€/400$
  • a screen that is at least 4.7"
  • at least 16 GB of onboard storage
  • a decent amount of ram (I know that nowadays 1GB is by far not enough. My current phone uses at least 70-80% of that without any open apps.)
  • a good battery life
  • decent performance
  • WiFi (but I believe every phone nowodays has it)
  • Bluetooth

Here's a list of features I would like, but which I can forego:

  • micro-SD expansion
  • removable battery
  • capacitive buttons (I like them more than the onscreen ones, but physical ones are ok too)
  • the feature of turning the screen on and off by double-tapping the screen
  • accelerometer & gyroscope
  • NFC
  • LED- (not just LED Backlit) or IPS-Display

And finally the features I don't care about:

  • infrared sensor, and all those features that aren't that usefull
  • Insane amounts of megapixels (I don't really care about the camera as long as it takes photos of decent quality. For good photos I have a DSLR camera)
  • more than a Full HD screen
  • curved displays (although I doubt you find phones in this pricerange with this feature)
  • Fast Charging

 

I'm looking forward to your suggestions :)
