Best Smartphone under $200?

[PokeCatz]

Right now, I have an iPhone 5S. The battery lasts an hour under use, the screen is smaller than car stereo, it runs out of RAM playing PUBG mobile at the lowest settings, Clash Royale lags, (wtf) and the OS can't even handle itself. I'm done with iPhone, I'm looking for a new android phone.

 

Requirements:

-Under $200 (I'm poor lol)

-Can play Clash Royale without lagging 

-Can load PUBG mobile without going into thermal runaway.

-Battery needs to be pretty decent (I've never had a phone with over 3 hours of battery life so idk how long I need.)

-32GB of storage is a requirement, must have microSD expansion.

-Better than iPhone 5S camera.

-Headphone Jack

-microUSB (I know that's strange but I already have a ton of microUSB cables and I can't afford to buy USB-C cables)

-Decent software support (android 7 would be nice)

-Works with AT&T (USA)

Just find a used s7 or s8, or other decent device. Otherwise most phones eventually will have thermal issues after extensive use in games.

Galaxy S5.

Water resistant (nothing is proof)

Headphone jack

1080p60fps screen, and 4k30fps recording

I looked at the amazon listing and apparently LTE bands don't in the USA.

If you are comfortable going the 'used mobile' route, then you can find an used S7 for pretty cheap, or the oneplus 3t, or 5(if you can find a good deal). Any flagship from 2016 should come pretty cheap and there are a lot of really good options.

Else, if you want a new device, then I don't think you will find anything better than the MI A1 at that price.

I have Note 9 money already set aside while I save for the 1180.

Then you can go the Motorola route, and as far as I know, they are going to launch the Moto G6 line up pretty soon. And, it should be available in the US, unlike the MI A1
