What phone should I get? - Page 3

Toby · ‎12-02-2016

Hi guys,

I currently use an iPhone 6 and I'm eager to leave the world of Apple behind (its been a fair few years!) and enter the world of Android. All of the comments here on the community, as well as from my friends have convinced me that its a better fit. I've stick with Apple because of the music I have purchased through them, but I want to customise my device in many more ways and want to free up my ability to use music in more easily.

I'm liking the look of the Sony Xperia Z5 or the LG G4, but wanted to hear from you on what you'd recommend and why. You guys know more about this stuff than me!

I need:

- Easy navigation

- Storage freedom (e.g. SD card access if possible)

- Sturdy physical design (I'm a chronic dropper)

However, I'm quite open to suggestions, so if you have a good one, do let me know below

Problem with the Nexus from your point of view @Toby - no removable storage. Nice phone though...

It does and it doesn't. Still none the wiser about what to get. Think I need to be able to compare first hand the choices, so a trip to a CPW shop may be in order - @Bambino is quite correct in this!

You're never going to know if a phone suits you until you use it, and most places, not even CPW, I don't believe, have working models. You can go in and be tactile with a phone you're interested in. The problem is they're all tethered for security, so you can't get a true feel. That's about it, but I think it's worthwhile doing that if you can.

edited to add; forgot to mention, the Samsung Galaxy Note 4 felt massive when it first arrived, but now it is the other way round - my Z1 feels tiny!!

The Samsung A5 May suit you @Toby

But do hang fire until the S7 is released. That will be my upgrade in the summer

HTC devices are known to be slow & not very responsive or user friendly
