OnePlus2.
Redmi Note 3.
Samsung S6.
+1 Redmi Note 3
bought mine. Waiting for delivery.
1.2 no card slot no infrared
Just bought a LeTV x600, it's cheap and fast from a reputable company in China.
Probably not what OP wants, but might be interested by others.
Maybe Sony Xperia Z5?
Asking for a MicroSD Card slot, huge battery, infrared, and updates.....
Maybe LG V10? The battery isn't that large, but it's user replaceable.
Nexus 6P would of fit your qualifications if not for the infrared and lack of MicroSD Card slot.
Note 4 might be a phone to consider as well.
If you don't mind me asking, are you in Europe or USA or Asia?
If you want something cheaper that lasts pretty well, go for the Xperia Z3. Great if you like taking photos and videos (4K yay), but also good performance.
Battery is under what you're asking for, but the power saving features makes it last much longer.
Shot at 8MP, pretty good?
Shot at 20MP:
Software updates are never a priority for Redmis, you might regret. Don't expect custom ROMs since its running on a MTK chip too:/
Don't worry, it didn't taste as good as I wanted it to be.
Never going back to this restaurant again.
I own already redmi note and mi note pro, updates are quite frequent if you are on original ROM ? mi pro gets update every 2 weeks or less.
Dev ROM (Global) is not as updated as Dev ROM (China), so yeah. I'm have a Redmi Note 3G.
Mi Note Pro, pretty solid device (but only Mi Note available here). How's the camera? Post some shots here!
"would have", or "would've", and not "would of".

My apologies. Redneck grammar here :P.
I have Xiaomi Mi4C & Redmi Note 2 Prime ... both is good you can go with any of them ... Mi4C is just awesome excluding card slot though its also heat up little bit more than normal ...
Also can go with https://oneplus.net/x/specs
though it will not fulfill your battery backup ... but its good ...
Overall going with Xiaomi or One Plus will give you different taste of smartphones ... Also don't forget to take a look at Meizu and LeTV devices ...
bump Nexus 6P is nice but no card slot and no infrared >.... is anyone know now droid turbo which os currently running are the giving os update fast ?
I've watched reviews and it has Pathetic battery life.
+1 for red mi note 2
Nothing beats Nexus devices for Android.
IMHO, Sony z5 better than Nexus
.
If you reserve your more serious computing tasks for a tablet, then you can get by with a cheaper non-flagship phone. Non-flagship phones typically cost just a fraction of the price of a brand's flagship phones.

Learned over the years to just get a shit phone and a Good tablet. Currently have a Samsung discover (garbage) but use it only for data/text/calling when I don't have WiFi or a site detects my voipms number. It's linked up to my tablet so I do everything from there instead
@SilentFarter @ALinuxNinja
Do you guys not take pictures or selfies with your phones? As a student, I can't imagine myself using a low resolution camera
So for me, I have a Z3 and a MiPad right now, Z3 for entertainment (and social media), MiPad for web browsing, music and managing my servers.
For data, a cheap phone wouldn't do the job anyway, battery life might just suck big time, so it might not last long on portable hotspot usage...
Anyway, Z3 for 300 USD ("used", seems unused), and MiPad (got it in a trade, traded in a iPad Mini 1 16GB ~$250 USD)
Sounds good?
At least they didn't bother to throw in TouchWiz on such a LowEndDevice
My Sony Xperia Z3 is great, but no IR
Ma tablet has way better camera. Never liked phone as they are too small for my large fingers.
It increases my chance of typos to a too-high level.
That being said, my tablet camera is better than my phone's camera, but I am a broke student so I have to upload via wifi most of the time lol
sony fail , once fell down phone finished :P and no update for old device
That is what a case is for -_-
Agree! The Z3 is an awesome device.
This is like saying a server should be fast: it all depends on the circumstances.
My Z3 usually had over 50% left after 2 hours of streaming, 30 minute of phone calls, 30 minutes of emailing, some texting, and the occasional checking of Clash of Clans over an 18-hour period.
I've just purchased the one plus two.. But sick of my iPhone 6 Plus and fancies going back to android.
Good price and spec and I remember buying my mum the one plus one and she was really happy with it.
