Nexus 5 was my 1st android phone over my iphone. I liked it a lot, but once the battery even got a few cycles on it, the battery life started getting unacceptable. Ended up getting an LG G2 as a temp phone. Love the battery but hate the super closed off enviornment and terrible old UI.

I understand you can do things like get custom roms, but, if you'll let me use this analogy, I didn't come iOS just to have to jailbreak my androids as well.

• Price: ~$500? I'll hear any phone. I just don't think I'd really need an $800 one. For example, the new Galaxy seems pretty sweet, but I don't think I'd need a 1440p screen for what I do.

• Carrier: AT&T

• Country: US

• Size Preference: No larger than an LG G2. Similar to a Nexus 5 or smaller. screen size ~4.5-5.2in (Size is more important, the 5.2 5x is way too big for example.)

• What will it be used for:: GPS, phone calls, web browsing, occasional media.

• Preferred brands: N/A, I don't want to jump through their hoops to buy a phone, however. (looking at you OnePlus)

• Other: Good battery. Something that can comfortably get through a day of heavy use. I'm a pizza delivery driver which means I'm playing music constantly, and also use GPS pretty frequently. Even with the screen off, it'd kill my Nexus 5. I can charge in my car of course, but its kinda awkward to do and I'd love if it could just survive my 7-8 hour shifts like my G2 does.

• Other: 1080p screen. I don't really want to go down to a blurry screen, unless the phone was so much smaller that 720 would still be good PPI.

• Other: Fast phone in terms of UI navigation. Something that feels good to use. (no lagging when flipping pages or opening up the app list, etc)

• Other: Prefer a modern phone/Marshmallow. I really hated how old the G2 felt.

• Luxury: great camera, removable battery, SD cards: I'd be willing to pay a premium for some of those, but I understand many phones just don't have it.

Is there anything out for me? Thanks for the help.
