Xperia Z2 vs Galaxy S5

Ok so, i'm going to be getting a new phone very soon as i just got confirmation that my LG G2 was not able to get fixed or replaced and now have a $500 store credit. I would consider myself a normal user, i barely play games if i were to play games it'd be something simple like "Dont Tap The White Tile" but i'm occasionally on facebook, snapchat and texting, etc. After a full day of hard use my LG G2 would be at 20/35% by the time i get home which is around 4pm. I did my research on these phones and honestly i'm having troubles deciding, apparently the Galaxy S5 has a better colour on the screen, but the Xperia Z2 has an extra 1GB of RAM, then the Xperia Z2 has a bigger battery which also makes it heavier, then its got the front facing speakers which is a good plus. I honestly don't know what to go for... please help me, ive also looked at the LG G3 which is a great phone a 5.5" is a turn off for me ;)

 

The website i'm looking at is http://www.kogan.com.au

 

if you see something else on there website that you have had experience with or think will be good for me, let me know :)

also it'd be great if you could tell me why you its better than my other options.

Xperia Z2 for it's beast camera and water and dust resistance! The S5 is alright, but out of the two I'd go for the Z2 hands down. :)

Z2 is much better in most ways, just a bit awkward to hold for some due to the square-ish shape it has compared to the s5

The Z2 seems to have a issue with the magetic dock port. It it a great phone, I had it for 2 weeks and now it is RMA.

Personally though I would just go with the S5, it has better handling experience and has a removable back cover
