Which Android phone do I want/need?

Anonymous · ‎01-05-2016

Last year I switched from an iPhone to a Galaxy S6. I couldn't get on with the Galaxy (no idea why, I think it was more that I didn't try) so decided to go back to the iPhone. I'm currently pretty hacked off with iTunes and Apple in general so I'm thinking of switching back to Android. So far I've narrowed my choice of phone down as follows but I'm open to suggestions:

Sony Xperia Z5 Premium (not keen on the look, too square)

Galaxy S7 (probably my first choice)

Galaxy S6 (slightly cheaper but doesn't have expandable memory)

I don't want a small phone as I'm used to an iPhone 6 Plus, it's got to have a good camera (I don't think the iPhone has) and a good, easy to use music player. I was hoping for a Galaxy Note but that doesn't seem to be an option.

Thanks in advance for any opinions!

All down to personal choice @Anonymous though I think @viridis would say the camera on the Z5 is second to none. He has the Z5P

The new note won't be coming until later this year so if you want to change now, I'd go for the S7. Although the Z5 does have the best camera.
Have you thought about the Huawei P9 too?

It was Viridis's review of the Z5P that made me add it to the shortlist! The night pictures look amazing, better than my DSLR.

X is out in a matter of weeks......
Best camera yet.
But it's relative, if you want point and shoot with good results, go Galaxy.
If you don't mind setting up a shot for better results, go Xperia

I'd say for camera iPhone 6 but out of your selection id choose the S7

My husband will be pleased there's a new Note as he's due an upgrade so might wait now.

I hadn't thought of Huwaei, I'll take a look - thanks.

It should have a decent camera on the P9

I had an iPhone 6 and the camera was fine but when I switched to the 6S Plus I've found it's nowhere near as good unfortunately.

I think I'll be spending a bit of time in the O2 shop when I'm back from holiday!

And that was before I got used to it...
