1. Brand: Anything
2. Budget : 600 to 850
3. Specs : Gonna use it as a second phone, mainly for Uber, so I kinda need the stability (no known bootloop issue), Youtube, downloading videos to phone or stuff like that. Camera and sound aren't my priority.
4. Type/Size : Android 5 to 5.5 inch.
Also, the one with a good drop-proof (I won't expect much, but at least..) I don't need big phone as I may find it hard to operate with 1 hand.

Good: Good battery life Good speaker Decent camera Decent performance Software is stable Signal reception is good Bad: No USB OTG support No gyroscope sensor for VR Storage is 16GB but there's 10GB left out of the box cuz some are used up by the system (can be solved with SD card) Auto focus doesn't seem to work when recording video This post has been edited by xperiaDROID: Sep 19 2016, 06:43 PM

I am considering getting a new phone with larger storage than my current 16GB phone.
Brand: Any brand which frequent update the firmware. Budget: <= RM1500. OS: Android with at least version 6.x Marshmallow Storage: Prefer 64GB. Minimum 32GB. The larger, the better. Must have Micro SD slot. Type/Size: Don't care.

Which would be better for heavy usage including gaming on phones ? Will both the phones last 2-3 hrs without lagging issues ?

As for lagging issues, both phones are powerful enough so no worries.

From what I've read, tests shows that Samsung consumes 9%\hr on video with same brightness while htc consumes 11% . Is it cuz of htcs subwoofer ?

It's more to optimization.

Amidst quite some heat on Samsung over the Note 7 explosion..... maybe you might want to go with the HTC One 10, but it depends tho.

With that being said, maybe you might want to avoid overheating it too much if you go with the S7. Just as an advice.
