Default Wish list for phone features

Existing phone Rooted Galaxy Note 3 with 128gb sd

Body easy to grip, don't need glass or flash materials, functionality first
5.7"-6" Screen
2K resolution Oled
4000mA battery - removal preferred
Finger print sensor via screen
Dual Sim - must be both active simultaneous
Micro sd card slot 256 gb but 1 terra nice
All the sensors
Snapdragon 820
Wireless charging
Fast charge via socket
Dust proof
Scratch resistant
Water resistant just against accidently dropped in water
Unlocked bootloader or easy root

There were several contenders last year, some but not all features(ignoring the processor) I hope a company groups all these features together

I would add , A good centre of balance.

Maybe this is why it's free to exchange your iPhone even after 6 months use

I believe all Sony phones have this feature

What? I don't know why I waste my time, but just put a pen under my iPhone 6+, it balanced in the centre, which to me is pretty good place to have the centre of balance.

There isn't a phone which perfectly matches my needs, but I have ordered a LG V10 Hong Kong model. It arrives in a couple of weeks. Some tiny additions costing £3 will make it near perfect oh and root

What about a phone that can update without bricking itself and a phone that doesn't have consumers inadvertently do the beta testing of the OS?

Also make sure it'll stop getting updates after a year or less, ensure that all your usage data is sold to the highest bidder and be assured that should the feds want your private data it's freely available.

Certainly not, you can get some very secure Android phones. You're trolling.
