Galaxy S4 Vs ?

I can get a GS4 for around £120 2nd hand but with the GS7 coming out so soon I'm a bit wary about the phone getting too dated, Lolipop on the GS4 is reported to have many issues.

 

So can anyone suggest a decent alt? I don't mind reputable Chinese phones or 2nd hand ones.

 

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it. :P

So have Samsung issued patches for all these?

S4 user here running 5.0. upgrading to a nexus 6p soon, but not because the S4 feels old, it aged very well

Pity I can't get hold of the 6P & I know what you mean by 'it aged very well'. ^_^

other than needing a new battery (for a whopping $12) at 18 months, it's serving me very well even at 2 and a half years old, and I plan on keeping it as a second device.

Wondering about the Xperia Z1... Would like an AMOLED but there's a 20MP camera :huh:

I dunno about the camera, but I do like an infinite contrast ratio.

Decided on the  Xiaomi Redmi Note 2 Prime, I prefer MIUI than TouchWiz.  :wub: + it's got a better benchmark than the GS4.
