I'm also in the new phone market. Pretty similar criteria but battery life is a big plus and need a microsd slot. My current phone has a 3,630 mAh battery (Moto X Play) but it appears to be the case that over the course of a few years battery life gets considerably worse.
I'd be happy with this phone for another year or so but with the battery life back to how it used to be. Consensus nowadays though seems to be that replacing the battery doesn't make a difference, it's the increased processor drain from newer OS/apps, etc that is the problem (although if anyone has any suggests that this isn't the case I'm happy to listen).
