Getting a new phone.

HeftyNugget

I currently have Samsung Galaxy S3 and it's quite neat, but it's lacking few features and it's battery is dying very quickly right now.

 

At first I thought about waiting few months and getting Zenfone 2, but I kinda have this 'thing' for phones with a flat back, especially the ones that look like just a rectangle with barelly rounded edges such as Zenfone 5, which is what Zenfone 2 is lacking.

 

 

Anyways, would be nice if I could hear few suggestions (or see few pics) of phones, other than the looks I would love for it to have:

- android 5.0+

- atleast 10Mpx camera

- neat looks

- lenghty battery (Atleast 2100 Mah)

- atleast 1900x1080, IPS display, preferably IPS

- Scratch-proof screen cover

- no apple stuff please. 

 

My budget is unlimited, but the price is going to be an important factor for me.

 

Thanks in advance!

Sony Xperia Z3?

Get at tempered glass or phantom glass screen protector. 

 

Perhaps Galaxy s6

Nexus 5 is still very good. Though lacking a little on your camera needs, though I've found the nexus to be fine for situational point and shoot (pixel count means very little if the processing isn't good)

Try the Samsung Galaxy Note Edge or the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge. I've played around with the Galaxy Note Curve and it's a really neat thing to have the curved edge. I think it'd be a head-turner when you're out and about.

I have no signature. There is nothing to see here. Move along.

I have spare money and wanted to get a new phone, since my loses power after 30 minutes of online usage.

I know, I could replace just the battery, but I also want the new android.

The S6 is pretty good from what I've seen. Otherwise.. Idk.. 1+1 is pretty good but they may be releasing a successor soon. Hopefully with a more single handed screen size. Likewise the Nexus 6 is pretty good but just too damn big.

 

 

 

 

 

Just realized that it's a pretty dull time in the Android space.

Sony Z3 and htc one M9 are solid choices. If you get a Z3 make sure to buy a tempered glass screen protector (you should with any phone to be honest) and a skin as well, it really does make a world a difference. The camera on the Z3 is bloody good, and sony are currently rolling out lollipop for it at the moment.

Xperia Z3, htc one M9, Asus Zenfone 2( zen ui is not that fluidic, not talking about lag or something, just not a great feel to operate, although features are good and value for money)
