Hi, need recommendations
1. Brand. any
2. Budget. <RM2000
3. Specs. rock solid performance good camera, good speaker, dual-sim
4. Type/Size. anything between 5.1" to 5.5"
already narrowed down to two phones , OnePlus 3 and ZTE Axon 7. zte got very good display and crazy front facing speaker with high quality DAC, OP3 got very good ram management, stock android, beautiful design IMO, better dev community.
I will be using the phone as daily driver, listening to music, watch movies, youtube and anime, navigating, take photos, light gaming. Any other phone recommendations are welcome. Thanks in advance

I've used ZTE Axon 7 for 2 weeks, here's the pro & cons:-
Pro:
- Nice display (QHD), nice to watch movie
- Loud surround front fire speaker, good with listening to music & anime
- Good DAC (used my friends Audio Technica M50, really awesome experience)
- Chooses strong/fast signal (64.5% 4G, 34.5% 3G, 0.1% 2G, 0.9% no signal), good for navigating
- Fast charging, 40-50% for 30 minutes
- External memory (the deal breaker for me over Oneplus 3). However, it will take up space on SIM slot 2.
- Very few bloatware. There's only 7 apps, all included as "Toolkit" app
- 2 year warranty
Cons:
- Slight drain on battery, 40% drain in half day (because I play games on break time)
- Camera is subpar, not the best but not the worst either (OIS not that good, but it capture pic fast)
- MiFavor UI can be boring if you used to other flagship UI
- No backlight on capacitive home/back button (not an issue for me)
- Notification not displaying on lock screen unless you tap on the bell icon
- No built-in radio or infrared blaster
- Youtube/camera(record video) app keep failing. Have to restart phone each time
ZTE Axon 7 is no doubt the beast in entertainment. But like P0lyStati0n said, the camera is subpar.
If you want better camera and more polished UI, then go for OnePlus 3.
