Which Android phone do I want/need?

Anonymous

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!

Kittens are much more interesting than phones!  I like the way this has gone off on a kitty cat tangent!

Back to the original question!  I had a look at the different phone in the O2 store today and I'm still none the wiser!  I'm leaning towards the Samsung S7, although I was nearly talked into a Huawei P9 by the Huawei rep. I like the look of the phone but some of the reviews don't seem as good as I expected.  I've ruled out the Sony Z5P as I think it's too bulky for me.  

 

Basically it comes down to the Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S7 or S7 Edge.  I'm not sure what I'll gain with the edge so it'll probably be the 6 or 7, I've just got to decide which!

If you've definately written off the P9 it's got to be the S7.

I do need to sleep on it but the reviews that I've read have all said the operating system isn't as user friendly as Samsung and the camera isn't as good.  The Samsung is supposed to be good in low light which is a plus for me. I also like the idea of the Samsung being water/splash proof.

The S7 would certainly tick all your boxes.
