New phone

[SeekaX]

I've been using a Sony Xperia Z1Compact for the past 2.5 years and i've been happy with and would've gladly used it for another 2-3 years, but unfortunately the touchscreen is starting to die. One row doesn't work anymore and today the touchscreen wouldn't work at all for a few minutes, so i'm fairly sure it will kick the bucket soon.

Took me 30 tries to get it to accept my unlock pattern.

So now i'm looking for a new phone, unfortunately i'm not particularly well versed when it comes to mobile devices. I don't intend to spend more than 250€, preferably i'd stay in the 200€ segment. All i do with my phone is listening to music, reading pdf files, twitter/discord, emails and largely text based surfing, but those things should happen rather snappy. Long battery life and an SD card slot rank highest on my priority list. I also prefer sizes between 4" and 5". I did some research myself and narrowed it down to the following options:
OnePlus X
Sony Xperia XA
LG X power
Huawei P9 lite
Huawei P8 lite
HTC Desire 628
Sony Xperia M5
UMi MAX

Currently i'm mostly interested in the P8 lite, the OnePlus X and the UMi max, i want to try something other than a Sony and the HTC and the LG are just plain ugly. Yes i'm that superficial. However i can't really judge whether any of them are good, especially the UMi max seems like the specs punch way above its pricerange (which is the only reason it's on the list, usually i would've weeded it out due to its size). I'd be very grateful to anyone on here who can help me out choosing something that fits my needs and won't die 6 months after the warranty runs out.

I have the Oppo Find 7a (1080p) 32gb and it's a superb phone. See if you can find one, the audio quality out of it is superb also. The Find 7 would be better as it's 1440p but either way it's one to consider.

I've had the Find7 for a few years and I wouldn't recommend it. ColorOS is a bit crap and the screen is also very bad quality compared to say a Samsung. It is cheaper than a Samsung but equally I feel it doesn't live up to the specs it boasts.

Thanks for the suggestion, i looked at a couple of Oppos, but i can't really find a place which sells them in germany. The Find 7 is also a bit large.

Aye I thought that too but when I got it? not so large. It's about the same size as my old 5" Swees cheapy. It's very light too which helps.
