Looking for Android phone.

[I Nether]

I'm currently look for an Android gaming phone (Android Master Race!), These are what I'll be looking for in my ideal phone.

I'll need top-and-bottom style stereo speakers (for example HTC Boomsound), this kind of setup offers the most direct sound experience and goes great when using it in landscape for a third party controller (or just regular landscape).
Next, is a good build quality, for those games that just a don't work with a controller, I'll need to have good hands-on, and what is good hands-on without good build quality?
Also, (you guessed it!) it needs to be powerful so I can play my more demanding games at a good FPS.
Lastly, a subjective one, if it isn't at least 64GBs it'll have to have expandable storage.

Now I am on kinda a budget so nothing past 400$, maybe a little above.

So those are the five ideals, I hope you can please help me find a phone . If there has to be an ultimate compromise so be it.

The HTC one M8 is the phone that best suits your "ideals".

There is also the solid Nexus 6 and the Z3 Compact, but in the end, HTC is the Company most likley to have the phone for you. (They have quide a few with front facing speakers).

I would chose the HTC One M8 because you can finsd it cheap, It still has great internals, and it has that awesome metal body.

P.S I use an LG G4, which, while having a rear - facing speaker, still sounds great... It is OK to consider side or rear speakers.
