Looking to replace my OnePlus X,
Budget : ~15k , but can stretch upto 18-19k if it's worth it.
Priorities :
1. Battery Life (something that can easily last a day or heavy web browsing, IM, videos/music. NO gaming..)
2. Smoothness/Fluidity (I would like the phone to be fluid - application switching, browsing, messaging..etc.).
3. Good Display ( Anything 5.5" - coming from AMOLED, I would prefer it over IPS ).
4. Customization ( Dev friendly Device, so something than can be easily rooted and played around with )
What doesn't concern me much at all : Camera, Size, After Sales, Stock UI, Audio Quality/Speakers, Gaming performance, Dual SIM, VoLTE,.
I have been looking at few devices, such as Redmi Note 5 Pro, MI Max 2, and Moto Z Series.
Moto Z has been so far my choice followed by Redmi Note 5 Pro.
Moto Z series, I would like to narrow down to a a specific Moto Z Device - there are bunch of them.
Redmi Note 5 Pro - Procuring this device is a PITA, and not to mention how difficult it would be to live with MIUI for me.
Note : I am not looking for SoC that has best performance. Anything that strikes a balance between battery efficiency and performance will work for me, for next 2yr. So I would take 625 over 820 as long as 625 wont lag on me for medium load applications.
Help me out here on this
