Hi guys! I'm here cause I'm really getting super crazy! My problem is : I want a new mobile phone but I do not know which one!

 

so... let's start with : I'm an owner of the samsung galaxy s3... it's already been used for 3 years and 7 months. Unluckily for me it's arrived time to change it cause right now it has a lot of problem that in my opinion are not worth it reparing ( battery almost doesn't charge if not with my cable and also sometimes it does not charge at all ; when it charges,rarely gets up till 100 %, usually it's around 40% in one full night ; the battery lasts about 4-5 hours at 40-50% ; super slow and I have to keep it off most of the time) . I would like to spend my money on something that is worth upgrading: I reaaaaally like the s7 but I do not want to spend 550-600€ if after 3 years I will have the same problem with mine. In the other hand I think that buying a middle range mobile phone it's also not that worth cause usually they get older faster and receive almost no update. The pros of buying a mid range smartphone would be that every 2 years you can upgrade to another mid range , having a brand new mobile phone, faster and with new(I hope :D ) features.

 

My ideal usage of my smartphone would be : browsing, youtube videos, some games, photos, of course calling and texting...

 

What I would like from the smartphone: to be fast , nice photoes, good battery life, finger print scanner( is it even worth it having it? it appeals me anyway :P )  , ONLY android ....

 

Sorry if my post was a bit long ... I hope to have been clear enough

 

p.s. most of my friends, gf, eccc... does not reccomend me top spend 500€ on a smartphone.... so try to convice me cause I would really love to have an high end! xD

p.s.s. How long should a smartphone lasts before being changed?

LG G4 is a great deal at the moment. No fingerprint though.

i would go with a nexus 5x. its 290€ for the 32gb at the moment has a 808 (you dont really need more), camera is good, fingerprint sensor onboard and always gets the updates (that one is pretty important)

battery isnt brilliant though. 2700mah can get you threw the day but you can empty it earlier with heavy use.

don't you think that the sd card is important? just to know!

at 32gb its ok for me but if you need it there is also the oneplus x which i am using.

i think the lg g4 shares the screen with the g3 (at least they are identical specs) so it should be fine. the g4 is a really good phone

g4 has a completely different screen. much better than the one in g3.
