Suggest me a new phone

[Bananasplit_00]

My OP2 is still pretty strong, but I might want to get a new phone for Christmas, not feeling like I want another Oneplus device, I can't say I find the OP5 especially appealing anyway. I'm pretty shit at knowing the phone market, but here are my requirements for it:

 

Decently fast fingerprint sensor

1080p display

Around 5.5", at least 5" display

Nice camera that preferably doesn't die in low light like the OP2s

Around 5000mah battery 

Headphone jack is a must, no dongle shit or whatever

Buttons, capacitive or not just not onscreen ones

USB C

LTE band

Decent build, preferably some metal

Less then a centimeter thick

Specs on par or better then the OP2

 

Nice to haves:

Pretty stock android 

Speakers that sound good

Small bezels

Decent selfie cam

Over 3GB of RAM

Good customisation

 

 

Budget? Maybe €500 or so, preferably around €350 but that feels like an impossible budget tbh. 

 

I thought I'd get the Zenphone 4 Zoom because the 3 was really nice, but it's more expensive and doesn't seem to be in Sweden and has barely any reviews either so idk. Anyway thanks for the help, because in pretty much clueless

is the 5000 mAh battery a must have?

The Mi A1 seems great for the price. But bezels look big, not overly gigantic though.

Nah that ended up in the wrong category lol, but I'd like a big battery and I'd much rather have a beefy battery then a thin phone

That's way more of a nice to have then a requirement, il check it out 

[Himommies]

might get the J7 pro, should have great battery life but not the USB C tho. My brother is using a J7 prime and no complaints about battery life, pretty much survived the whole day with heavy use.

USB C is something it NEEEDS to have basically so nope I guess

ASUS Zenphone Zooms have it, no clue how rare it is i just know they do and figured it can't be too rare

I have a nokia 3, it has most of that far as I can see for a reasonable price, it has a near stock android, far as I know, and it missing a finger print sensor, but the nokia 5 ((I think) the step up or a step up again to the 7 (I think, at one point it swaps from odd numbers to evens, for no reason)) would fit more of your needs and might be what your looking for

how about the A5 ?

 or the nexus 6p

The Samsung Galaxy A9 Pro? Battery is large but it is slightly older and has no USB-C port. But the SD652 is powerful enough and the cameras are decent.

I think the best is the Mi Max 2. Super large battery at 5300 mAh. One downside is that it has MiUi, which is far from stock android.

No USB C = not an option sadly.

Il take a look, Samsung one seems decent but I can't say I'm a massive fan of their skin.

Il check it out for sure, haven't seen MiUi so idk about that part.

As long as it has USB C il check it out, I can't say I dislike the look of ty Nokia devices I have seen.

Like it's not bad if it wasn't for both the price and the he ugly as hell logo on the back. That logo would get a taste of the sandpaper + epoxy or something before I even start it up.

MiUi kinda looks more iOS than being android

Yeah, MiUi seems like a whole other operating system. Last time I tried their rom I got bombarded by tons of chinese applications. But I can't say that it looks ugly though that's my personal preference. Their global rom should be ok, but if you understand chinese like me (which most people don't) then you can stick with the china rom.

Well that's neither a positive or negative thing, my problem with IOS is how locked down it is, not the UI, but I have found OxygenOS and now Resurrection Remix to be extremely nice in general. Might end up just swapping ROM but I'd really like to not after the hell it was on this phone...

the international version is ok, i don't know if you will get google services on the Chinese version tho

Most of the chinese version don't come with it. You can either flash gapps or download the google services downloader on the mi app store

If you bought your phone outside china then most likely you will get the global rom. If it's imported from china then you can flash the global rom. It's relatively easy to do, just google it for instructions.

keep in mind, xiao mi phones are tricky to get outside of Asia
