So what's the best smartphone if you have no budget? (excluding Nokia 3310)

And what's the best smartphone if you have a 550$ budget?

There is no "best smartphone".

There's a best smart phone for you, but you can't say there's one that fits everyone's bill, because there's simply not.

We'd need to know more, like what you do with your phone and the body size that you're comfortable with.

Really any size, about what I do with my phone... Well, stuff.

I'd really like a good camera though

I'd say LG G3 flashed to stock android. But personally I'd go for a G2, much cheaper and is still an epic phone.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

"Stuff" is rather nondescript and doesn't let us help you in any way whatsoever.

For a good camera I'd go with a Samsung (S5, Note 4) or LG G3. Possibly a Nexus 6, depends how it turns out.

 

I think the lower specs are a big compromise considering the small price differece. And the Z3c is only .6" smaller.

The specs are the same, except in regards to screen resolution and battery life.

Battery life is better on the Z3c.

Can't wait, I got a taste of it on my friend's Nexus 5 :)

 

Did it taste like orange or cherry?

It completely depends on what you look for in a phone. If you want waterproof, then one of the waterproof phones are going to be more useful to you than an iPhone. if you want screen size then the biggest or the smallest could be better. The whole topic is subjective.

.6 is A LOT, especially if going from an iphone or for small handed person http://www.phonearena.com/phones/size#/phones/size/Sony-Xperia-Z3-Compact,Sony-Xperia-Z3/phones/8744,8764
