New Phone Needed - What Options

[Kanoe]

I would say One Plus Two or if you cant score an invite this:

Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML although make sure you go for the 4 GB RAM and 64GB Storage option.

Let us know which phone you get!

Just got a moto x style yesterday and we'll built and a nice step up from my note 3. Off contract its from £400 on moto maker of you could stretch to that.

Other option is buying 2nd hand from Ebay. That's where my old note is going next.

I've only ever bought Samsung phones but after their ludicrous decision to copy Apple regarding removable batteries, I'll be reading this thread with interest.

Current phone is an Xperia Z3 - bought so that i could use it for mapping in bad weather - however, Sony now say not to immerse in water (original advert showed user taking photo underwater) and when I tried to bring up mobile phone bus ticket in the rain , water drops sent the whole thing haywire and I nearly had to miss the bus. Battery life is not as good as reported, but then I'm one of those stupid users that actually run apps
Latest Microsoft Lumia phones are going to use Windows 10 - so something to consider for a work phone.

Hard to get a good one around £300 at the moment though - you can only get flagship or budget it seems.

The Z3 is still the best phone I've ever had, better than my G4 or S6, surprised what you say about battery life, would be interesting to see/know how other devices fare running the same suite of apps you use

I had a 10AH extended battery on my Galaxy Note 2 and I needed it. I only settled on the Z3 when I saw that Mugen did a clip on extended battery - unfortunately the battery couldn't get delivered, got returned to China and Mugen have wrongly completed the order and have stopped answering my emails - I don't want a refund, as I really need the battery.
I should say some positive things about the Z3 - instant GPS acquisition is great using Oruxmaps - GPS also turns off when you are still, so track recording is much more accurate than other gadgets that record GPS wobble when not moving; camera is superb (Z5 is even better, nvm); bluetooth connection is best I've seen on a phone; screen is lovely to look at; using it with an SBH52 mini handset is another battery saver and means that you don't have to keep taking out the phone to see who is calling.
