I'm trying to pick a mid-range Android phone that can handle typical engineering coursework: CAD viewers, simulation apps, and occasional programming. What hardware specs (CPU cores, RAM, storage) and software factors (OS updates, manufacturer support) are most important for a student on a budget? How do battery life and durability compare to performance in this price range? Any general advice would be helpful.
What should I look for in an affordable Android phone for engineering studies?

I get that CAD and simulation performance hinges a lot on the CPU—have you looked into whether a Snapdragon 7xx versus a MediaTek Dimensity 1200 architecture makes a noticeable difference in how smoothly those apps run? Also, when you're pulling long study sessions, how do you weigh battery life against device weight?
