Repost (Still thinking...)
Considering i have only little money to renovate my cellphone (around US$300) and the content/heavyness of the pGo app, what should i do?
Im aiming for the Samsung Galaxy j7 2016 version (around US$300 in my country) in terms of battery, processor and price, but i also want to consider some other similar options. What u think? And please, dont answer like "I have SG s8 and its a beast", i only have that amount of money. Ty.
Edit: I have 3 phones in my scope: Sansung Galaxy J7, Huawei P9 Lite & Motorola Moto G4. I got a lot of references about all those phones, good/bad battery duration, GPS glitches, speed, so im kinda confused now. A little more help please :´D!

Don't worry about battery life. You can get external batteries that will add hours to your usage time for just a few $$. I'm sure that several are compatible with whatever android phone you get, and will let you walk for hours. I bought one years ago for when I snowboard, to keep my tracking app running all day without killing my battery. Still works fine today, 4 iPhones later.
So if you like small phones i'd go with Iphone SE (less than U$300). Here in Brazil is much more expensive than in ur area, i just bought one and im waiting it comes. All Iphone SE users here who answered my Q&A said that SE is very smooth to play and no freezes, even the Iphone 5.
I have a Asus Zenfone 2 and its the worst phone to play PoGo. I dont like Android anymore tho, limited updates and many bugs besides the phone get slower and slower over the time.
I dont really like my moto G4. But I have nothing to compare it to. I have gone through 2 since pokemon started. I think overheating does them in. My first lasted about three months. The second lasted until now. It is very laggy now. It started at the gym update. It is terrible in gym raids, about 25% I walk away empty handed. It may just be the update? My Ttar couldn't beat a magikarp because of an endless loop. I restart the phone before every raid, kinda of a pain.
