1. Brand. (HTC/Samsung/LG/Motorola/Others)
Any

2. Budget. (1.5k-2k)
Max 2k, lower is better. Can go slightly north if required.

3. Specs. (Ram/Proc/Camera's MP/Screen size)
Well this is kinda hard. Android specs are nice on paper but does not tally based on the real life usage. I think a min of 3GB RAM is nice. I am looking for a GPU/CPU which in on par or better with the Iphone 5s playing MOBAs like Vain Glory (please disregard this comment if it is not valid - i simply picked it up based on my experience playing games on Android & IPhones).

4. What you need in the phone (Good camera/good sound quality/durable)
- Will use it mostly for gaming, FB, Whatsapp, etc
- Does not lag on 3D games
- Decent battery lifespan
- Decent community support (easy to root and customize)

Been reading on some threads and have my eyes on LG G4 (bootloop issues?), 1+X (Poor gaming performance?). Buddies are asking me to go for the Note5 or S6 though. Am currently on Xperia ZL.
