So I have a free smartphone from my carrier, there are like 60 models to chose but only the LGs have removable batteries.

Out of the three LG phones only the Stylus 2 Plus is completely free of charge, the only downside on this phone is the lack of laser focus from the camera, my old LG G4 has it.

I know that many phones don't have laser focus, but lacking it on a newer phone from the same brand makes me feel a bit weird.

Otherwise, the Stylus 2 Plus comes with a fingerprint sensor.

I'm still debating myself, if I drop the removable battery I could pick other phones like Oppo R9, HTC Desire 10 Pro, Samsung A7, HTC One X9... Also free of charge.

Decision, decision...

If rooting is important to you, make sure it's possible with the phone you want to pick. I made the mistake of getting an un-rootable phone by not checking ahead of time :(

Look up the specs and see which one is more for you. All the phones but the htc one X9 can't do vr just incase you're into that stuff. The best rear facing camera out of them is the Htc 10 pro.

Yes the HTC 10 Pro is a good phone, but I mainly use a digital camera to take photos so the removable battery is more important to me.

I don't think I would need rooting on the Stylus 2+, I just want its big screen for reading and watching movies.

My LG G4 Stylus has the best screen and battery of all the phones I owned, so I'm confident on the next LG's built quality.
