Which phone should I choose?

[n_dominique]

Hope this is good place to ask that question, because right now I really need your opinion, guys.

At the moment I have Z1C and I'm thinking about changing it to something bigger (5" at least) with good or great camera. I admit, back then I was a little fooled by the ads about Xperia phone and its camera, and after a while I realized something is off with Z1C photos.

After reading some opinions I was looking forward to buy LG3, then Asus Zenfone 2 (thanks to Quantify for testing!), then Huawei P8, but after seeing more and more reviews... Guess you can imagine my confusion. LG3 apparently has few problems with overheating and camera seems to be worse than in other flagships (also it is very slippy which I don't like), ZF2 has nice performance but some problems with battery life and disappointing camera (but in some tests it was very near S6 camera quality), P8 has nice camera but seems to have problems with laggy interface and its processor is dull.

So... which phone has now a good price, has 5" screen with full hd (I don't believe QHD is necessary), good performance (not necessary hi-end) and good/great camera?

If you don't need lag with the interface get a Nexus 6, if you don't mind a large screen size.
Google Stock interface is the best!

I have used the HTC One M9, and to me it will be the most polished of the lot...

I see... Well, Nexus has a good performance but it doesn't look good to me, that Moto design. And sadly, HTC M9 is now too expensive.

Well, should I also look for a phone with OIS or it is not that necessary?

Personally I like the Samsung Note devices.

So I've have a Sprint LG G3 on Lollipop 5.0.1 and I haven't encountered any problems at all. Camera is Beautiful, I had no over heating issues at all. It does get warm if your on the charger using it, but if you leave it alone it stays cool to the touch. You could find a tpu case or another case on Walmart's website. I'm getting myself an Otter Box Defender. I guess it also depends on the Carrier and Model if you'll have issues. I've seen and heard Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile models all have problems, but I haven't heard or seen Sprint models have those issues. I hope this helps.

I hope this helps.

Very, indeed.

Well, there was a reason I didn't mention any cost limit, because I live in Poland and the prices might be very different than in the US.

Also, tell me, Colby, how's battery life on G3?

For my uses it's great! I get a full day of use and usually have around 15-20% at bedtime. I play games, check apps, etc. Its great I really love it. I'll post some screenshots of my battery life when I can. I hope this helps.

That would be really helpful.

Are you using any cover on it? Because I had g3 on my hands for a while in shop and its back seems to be a little slippy.

I plan on getting a Otter Box Defender. Yes it is slippery I dropped it at least 3 times already but I've been lucky it wasn't face first. And there isn't even a scratch after those falls. And I didn't specify that I only use this as a WiFi only device for the time being. I don't have WiFi at my house, so it won't be accurate as having the phone activated and on WiFi. But I hope it still gives you an estimate.

Galaxy S4 is full HD with great camera and they're pretty fairly priced these days.

Galaxy Note 3 has all that you want:
Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - Full phone specifications

try iPhone 5c , or iPhone 5 it's cheap and fast and sleek

Mate choose a nice model from Android. But make sure it be android

 

[n_dominique]

Maybe iPhone sounds nice, but It's too small ;p

Samsung S4 and Note 3 looks to me too... plastic (that glorious Samsung design). But S5 ain't that bad, I admit...

So, so far I'm thinking between LG G3, Zenfone 2 (I saw they still trying to make their camera better), Samsung's A7 (better design) or S5 (better camera, and I seems to be not far away from Note 4 and S6). Or... maybe something else?


Ok, so I will have more cash and thanks to you all, now I know what should I buy. Thanks for your help!

The Note3 is a great phone.. I moved to the Note4 after my edge agreement was up on the Note3. Great line of phones.

 

[n_dominique]

Note 4 is indeed a nice phone. My mom has one.

And finally Samsung doesn't look like cheap plastic toy
