So I own this Samsung Galaxy S5 and I am getting a little tired of it.

Too much bloatware and un-removable shit apps by Samsung so I'd like to get a new phone.

I would like the screen to be around 6" or a little more and Huawei Ascend Mate 7 caught my interest first but after searching further

I see there is also P8 and P8 Max. P8 Max really got my interest because it has a 6.8" screen and FHD which is the exact thing I'm looking for.

But is it worth? My country is pretty shit when it comes to those chinese brands like Xiaomi and Huawei and it seems the P8 Max is not available in my country.

My country is Netherlands.

 

I do not want a Windows Phone because none of the apps I'm using are available for Windows and also do not want the iPhone.

There is a theme by DualBoot Games I really like, will they work on newer Andriod Lollipop or Marsmallow or Andriod 6?

It's this:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/developer?id=DualBoot+Games

 

Further purposes are watching video's on it, playing games like GTA, Asphalt and FIFA and my ISP has an app for watching TV on it, live.

 

Chinese phones like the P8 Max means I have to buy it off from Ebay. Is it safe? Which seller would be the best to buy from?

 

Thanks in advance.

Any Nexus phone would do you good, absolutely no bloatware. The Nexus 6 has a 6in screen and is more powerful that anyone should need, but slightly expensive which is why I recommend the Nexus 5, half the price but powerful enough for anyone's needs.

I know about the Nexus but they seems to not have microSD which I'd like it have the microSD.

Alright, I want to buy the Huawei P8 Max but I am concerned about the OS on it, EMUI 3.1 or Android.

I have to buy it off eBay as it is not available in Holland.

Can anyone who owns the P8 Max check if the themes by dualboot games work on it?
