I currently have a oneplus one which isnt awful but there are a few things i would like and so i think its time to upgrade.

 

A  better camera, front and back as the 1+1 kinda sucks, especially the selfie camera.

 

NFC will definitely be useful.

 

wireless or quick charge would be really useful.

 

oh and android only.

 

any ideas would be great

 

also 5.5 inch would be the minimum, dont mind going bigger though

Nexus 5x

 

One of best cameras

Quick Charge ~about an hour to charge

NFC

Stock Andriod

Screen size is 5.2 so a little smaller than 5.5, but the phone is still not small

between Iphone 6s and + 

 

Owned 4 months and love it.

As nexus 5x is too small for you nexus 6p would be perfect. It has everything that other people mentioned about 5x but a bigger screen and battery.
