    Hi all,

    I have been looking for a phone with certain features, but most of what I've found so far is kinda a compromise.

    Here's what I'm looking for:

    5.0" max size.
    LTE, and can handle Band 20 (800 MHz) - I could perhaps compromise here.
    USB-c connector - no compromise here
    At least 16GB onboard memory + microSD slot, or 32 GB onboard memory without.
    Properly-working GPS (I hear bad things about Mediatek on this front from here and other places)

    Would like it to be unlocked or easily unlockable.
    I'm a PAYG customer.
    Included accessories etc not a concern.
    Definitely open to using mainland Chinese brands.

    Any help greatly appreciated! :)

    EDIT: I also was looking for a phone that could use wireless charging, or at least have it added easily.

    Just want to add a definition of "cheap". I would go as far as paying €250 total to have everything. €180 is what I'm hoping to pay at most, if the phone had limited LTE support etc.
