New phone under 400USD

[AndreLebrao]

I currently have a LG G5 H850, but its time for a change, it has gosting and the battery doesnt last very long. I wanna go android and dont mind buying from brands like Xiaomi

The things I care the most:

Fingerprint scanner

Battery life

Headphone jack

 

I really like pcs but phones are often a thing I doesnt understand, thanks for any help

Honor 7X. My dad just got one and it's great.

You missed the most important thing....budget. There are loads of phones that fit the bill out there, but without knowing how much you are willing to spend it's just a guessing game for us.

 

@huilun02 suggested the Zenfone 3 Zoom, which I can second as an excellent device if you're looking for battery life. I don't think I've ever seen less than 10 hours of screen on time, and I charge it every 2 - 3 days with heavy usage. Camera is decent but not flagship level. Low light is superb though.

 

I also suggest waiting if you don't need something now. We're only a handful of weeks away from MWC, when there will be tons of new phones released. The SD670 looks like it's going to be a beast of a midrange/high midrange SoC. Personally I'm crossing my fingers for a Zenfone 4 Zoom, but I don't think we'll see that until the next iteration.

Didnt knew about this event, thanks! Yeah, I left a wide budget for now because I'm deciding if its better to go for something along the lines of a moto g5 plus or something better that will last longer. Will be selling my phone and coming back after this event ends

Yeah it's definitely worth waiting for, the big companies usually have a bunch of events around it as well.

Plus we have yet to see the Nokia 9
