QOTW: Which mobile phone will you get next?

[mojothejester]

I've got a 1st gen Moto G. When it dies (or the next android slows it down like the latest one did) then I might upgrade to latest Moto G. I've got plenty of other things I'd rather spend £500+ on than a phone

I've had a Galaxy S3 since launch, and see no reason to replace until it breaks.

Any replacement would benefit from 4G, but I'm rarely without Wi-Fi so it's not something that important.

If my phone were to break today I'd just see what deals were available - not much to choose between Sony/Samsung/LG.

I am quite looking forward to seeing x86 Windows 10 phones, the idea of plugging your phone into a monitor to charge, and using it as a basic PC is interesting, but it would only be a decisive factor in choosing a phone if all other factors were equal.

Currently have an Xperia Z2 and love it, not due for an upgrade for another year and a bit though but will probably stick with Sony as love the design of their phones.

Looking at the Moto x style when it gets released in the UK
Going from my note 3 on contract to sim only. Sick of the cost of monthly contract for data/text/calls that I don't use.

The new Moto X Style/Pure (whatever its called) will most definitely be my next phone. It's what the OnePlus Two failed to be.

[RichieLee]

Probably the Wiley fox swift if it's comparable to the moto G. The budget phones truly do all you need them to and if the camera is decent on this one then it's all the boxes ticked for me. Not interested in the status symbols attached to prestige flagship handsets these days. Just need something that works well and lasts at least a full day per charge!

Currently don't see myself upgrading for a while, LG G3 is doing everything I need. I only spent so much in the first place because I ended up getting a refund on my failed Moto G and had the spare money for a more powerful phone at the time, the Moto G pretty much fulfilled my needs, so I can't see the G3 failing to any time soon.

Those Wileyfox phones that got an article here on Hexus seem very appealing as a Moto G alternative, if they had been out at the time I might have gone for those instead of the G3. Though considering the failure my Moto G had, shook my confidence in the budget phone build quality a little.

Am always interested in people who are concerned about mobile phone security yet use the Internet... Lol lol

Got a Z2 just now and got to say tempted by the Z5, but in no desperate need so I think since Sony churn out new models so quickly would wait a year and get a 2nd hand 5 for half the price Sony want

[vettieboo]

Currently have a Z1 compact, trying to find an alternative with my next phone as Sony have been atrocious to me with their repair job, couldn't really have been worse if they tried. Sadly doesn't seem to be much else in the compact phone market that doesn't compromise so I'm probably stuck for now.

It is really less about the phone and more about the infrastructure that goes with it, Apple, Google or Microsoft.

Having just bought a Motoroal G (second gen) which as a device a great, and after a great deal of faffing, finally working more or less as I want, but the core (for me) applications that came with it (text aand e mail) were pretty dire. But it was relatively cheap and good enough for the moment.

But having just bought it it, and with a usual upgrade period of about 7 years, I guess (and it is only a guess, because 7 years is a long time in this business, I'll probably be looking at an iPhone 10 or 11.

Different set of issues, different set of responses to the issues. Mobile phones can give away data that the internet can't .... and vice-versa. It also depends what you do with each, what (if any) apps you have running/use, what you use the internet for, etc.

For instance, I encrypt any emails containing anything at all sensitive, and have for, oh, 20 years or so. My internet-connected computers don't have access to my sensitive PC data, at all.

[Mapester]

Mine will be the 2015 version of the Nexus5 to replace/upgrade from my current 2013 Nexus5 handset. As its better to have the option to unlock the bootloader built into the devices design in the 1st place, instead of having to use an exploit/hack to unlock / root my phone. So I can install a custom rom without the bloatware almost all phones come with.

[Doherz]

Still got my trusty Nexus 4, has had a new battery and replacement back but otherwise she' still running like a dream.

The Moto X play is tempting but I've not really seen any phone actually worth upgrading too. If it breaks I'll look at the WileyFox phones and the new nexi and make my decision based on reviews and budgetary constraints.

[deejayburnout]

Each phone nowadays has a little jump in spec than the last model in its gen. My note 3 performs as good as my wifes note 4 and only the camera and screen is better( it does have a fingerprint scanner that she doesn't use) It has dreadful battery life due to the touchwiz bloat and that QUad HD screen that is barely noticeable. And the note 5 is a little better than the note 4 but its not worth the incremental upgrade. The only real reason i want a new phone is the Moto x style has front facing speakers and the option for micro SD. To be honest, i could stick with my note 3 until it breaks.

[Onkston]

I'm definitely looking to go sim only when this contract is up, it just costs far too much now.
I'm tired of the junk they're all peddling, minor upgrades just to call it new mostly. Don't want apple or Samsung for sure next time and not interested in windows. I'm actually pretty tempted by some of these grey market phones.
Although my contract isn't up for another 7 months, so I'll probably say something totally different by then!
