Picking a new phone

[TubsAlwaysWins]

Hello all. I am looking for a new phone still since I can upgrade. My family wants me to get an iphone partly because everyone else in my family/ all my friends have one and because you can text via wifi and stuff. I don't want the iPhone becasue i'm all about android supremace and stuff (and all my friends/family know that.) So its basically between a iPhone 6s (64gb because my sister got one for $0 down so im guessing I can too), and something like the S6 Active or the Sony Experia Z5 compact (because Linus likes it and i kinda want a small phone.) so what should i do? Are there any better phones?

Not really something to ask a forum XD. You might consider a Samsung Galaxy S6 or Note 5. I would personally suggest the Nexus 5X: pure Android Marshmallow, no bloatware, very fast, affordable and not terribly large. You'll have to buy it off of Google's site then do a 'bring your own' plan with your carrier though. Honestly just watch lots of reviews and make a choice based on what features and OS you like the most.

Ok. Im just curious as to what others think and if they can come up with any reason to get 'X' phone instead of 'Y' phone. Thanks

I have an LG G3 and love it. LG has features others dont. I like having my buttons on the back of the device, you dont hit them on accident. You can double tap the screen to turn it on. Battery life seems to be great. My sister has the LG v10, again an awesome device. Similar features to mine. Although it has a small screen near the top of the device that doesn't turn off. This displays notifications, time and can also be a hot bar for your important apps. 

 

The LG G5 looks interesting too, being modular and all, however Im not sure when that comes out. Oh and the LG devices tend to have removable batteries and external storage, if that matters to you. I would say LG all the way.
