So a few days ago, I smashed my Nexus 5's display. The glass cover cracked, but everything else is still fine. According to iFixit however, repairing the screen is not as easy as just replacing the glass cover. The touch screen below is fused with it, and the cheapest replacement from Hongkong will cost 80 EUR. It's twice as much if I send it to a repair workshop.
For for the mean time (and also because of this nice excuse), I'm in the market for a new Android phone. Some requirements
- It cannot be another Nexus 5. I'm confident that I will eventually fix the smashed phone by replacing the display. What am I supposed to do with two Nexus 5s?
- The display has to be larger than 4.5 inch and at least 720x1280. I simply cannot go back to the days of low-res displays.
- There must be a way to install stock Android of at least 4.3.
- The processor should be somewhat above average.
- I don't have 600 EUR to spend.
- Battery life is sort of important.
