Mi A2 lite

1. 4000mAh battery - Check
2. 2 sims + dedicated microsd - Check
3. 1080p screen - Check
4. Pie - Check - Android One, which means you are covered for Q
5. USB C - Heck, 5/6 isnt too bad hey. I think it supports quickcharge 3.0
6. easily available cash - R3399 from MIA here

In addition:
Cameras are decent. But for a R3K phone they are very good (get the Gcam apk).

With the exception of USB C, it looks like this is a winner. Especially if you are not a "power user".
The SD625 + 4000mAH battery should easily give you 2 days. And Android One support means your security updates are... up to date :)

And if you get bored of vanilla android there are plenty options over at XDA

Not gonna lie, I also want an old screen but that pretty much rules out most midrangers besides Samsung's. So I am waiting on pricing and availability of the new A series and the M30

But Might A2 Lite should do the job. Will wait and see.
 
My Redmi Note 4 charging port doesn't work anymore, or with a great struggle. Connect / Disconnect the whole time. Not the USB cable.
I'm having this issue with my Mi6 as well. I don't think that the USB C connector is a good connector in general. It's too sloppy, there is no grip around the port it connects to on the phone, and I have tried many USB C cables.

Amazon has the 64gb for 3200 delivered
 
I'm not too keen on the M series because Xynos chips...

Just found this on the Mi A3... possibly

I'm not a mobile gamer really so chipset should be okay, current phone has a SD808. Really feel like I should get an oled since your screen is probably what you use the most on your phone. And that enormous battery.

If they keep the big battery and triple slot I would be keen on that Might A3 Lite.

I've put some rubivng alcohol with a toothbrush. Next day it is now 100%. Still under warranty, so if it give issues again I'm not gonna 'fix' it and just send back....

Pocophone F1 has all ticked :D

Edit: sorry did not see 2 sim + microSD. Poco has 1 sim + microSD or 2 sim but with 128Gig I dont notice the lack of microSD

I have also considered Poco, local sourcing is pricy and is gearbest actually shipping and delivering on time these days?

Takes a bit of DIY to get all 3 working, can also order a small adapter that makes it simple
