    i have an s8+ so people may laugh at me for wanting something inferior to it...but i really dont like the aspect ratio and much prefer 16:9 ....i dont mind bezels and prefer flat screens to curved edges.

    i'm looking for something with these features...i have narrowed it down to a galaxy c9 pro...but maybe theres a chinese phone i am not aware of.

    also i know i may not get all this in any phone.


    6 inch traditional 16:9 screen....c9 is amoled which is great...but any screen that good and big as that.

    64gb storage with sd card slot.

    decent camera

    preferably ip67 / ip68.. although c9 isnt

    maybe fm radio

    capacitive keys rather than on screen

    good battery

    ....

    i have no interest in fingerprint scanner / nfc ...etc.



    i think c9 pro is the one i am looking for....but thought id ask in case overlooking something im not aware of.


    thanks in advance for any replies.

    Can you get the C9 Pro at the moment? It was released in 2016 and wasn't a big seller I don't think.

    The phone is a decent amount larger than the s8+ too, so that's worth keeping in mind. I don't think it's necessarily a bad option, specs are grand and it seems to do what you need.

    A Xiaomi Mi A1 is a good option, but it is not waterproof. It's advantage is price at 200 quid, for a really lovely device that runs stock android.
