Best Android device for PoGo?
Thinking of a new phone. Not top model or too expensive, but with resilient battery (removable so I could have a charged spare with me) and fingerprint scan (I'm paranoid than my phone could be stolen in public transport, as it happened before PoGo came out, and I'd lose my account too). For now I'm going around with friend's old phone always hooked to a power bank and it's not too bad but cables get ruined quickly and it's not very handy to go around with a big phone always in hand. And it's a huge improvement after used Galaxy S4 which got so worn out it started to shut off from too much playing, not even mentioning the lags. I don't like new phones, feeling like it's a luxury, but maybe a good phone could save me a lot of stress caused by minor but multiple inconveniences. I'm an easily irritable person after all.

I used to play it on my galaxy note 4 (sometimes I still do when my s7 is battery dead), it was an excellent device. The performance is comparable and sometimes better than my galaxy s7 edge. Its old now but you can get it for cheap and it has a removable battery which you desire.
Large 5.7 inch screen will but there's a one handed mode which reduces screen size and makes your throws much further if you need them. I can totally vouch for the note 4, in fact I enjoy playing the game more on it than my current galaxy s7 edge.
