I'd go Sony Z2, Z3 or a Nexus 5 personally. Like the waterproof. Haven't seen the S6 specs though

HTC is looking good. The m8 is an amazing phone. Samsung I is good too but I think it's trying to hard, to many apps and things you never use. Just my opinion.

Both brands are equally as good. I use a Samsung S4 for work and HTC M7 as my own phone and couldn't fault either of them.

Have a look a One Plus One phone http://www.techradar.com/reviews/phones/mobile-phones/oneplus-one-1244307/review...it's an android phone and getting excellent reviews so much so I'll be buying one soon.

All depends on what you want from the phone. All will do basics it comes down to if you use the camera a lot and want a good camera and what little touches you like. You tube is great too see the reviews

Camera wise I'd choose a Sony. But basically they all do the same running android and most come with "bloatware"(manufacturers add ons) which will slow the speed and hog the battery.

I got a oneplus, truely amazeballs and picked up a 64gb 1 for £296 all in - has as good if not better specs of latest phone at a fraction of their price, only downside is you need an invite to buy 1

I found on the Sony Z you can reset all the factory add ons then cancel their updates, force stop them & they go away.

I had a htc one plus 64gb and sold it for £84 as it was a nightmare, I went back to Apple the auto correct was a complete nightmare it would randomly change messages for no reason on me

...unless you've just updated it to Android 5 like me and now the WiFi connection drops every ten or fifteen seconds, making Internet browsing a nightmare and burning the battery. Grr! ;-(

working in the industry myself mate.

personally I'd steer clear of Samsung they have had issues with over heating batteries over the last number of years and doubt thats going to change especially with the switch they seem to be making to metal will get quite hot..

using the m8 and having seen the m9 it's one hell of a phone if it was me I'd be going for this one

Great alternative is the Sony z4 .. great camera and interesting sound set up, waterproof and connects to your ps4 nerd heaven

Hope my little rant can help

Hmm, I've had 8 Samsung phones and never had an overheating battery. Maybe your "work in the industry" is in competition with Samsung?

if it works for you and your happy who am I to say buddy haha and actually a lot of my work is for them haha just from experience this had been an issue in general now granted there have normally been reasons by the user for that problem to arise.. just thought I'd share what I've seen from experience and in general htc have the least amount of issues that have cropped up to warrant having to be sent for a repair job and all that type of stuff

Maybe not as many of them get sent for repairs since there are not as many of them out there?

And not a single mention of poor old Nokia *cough*Microsoft*cough*.

Honestly if you want a good camera its hard to beat the Lumia's, and you don't even have to get the 1020 40meg camera one.

You shouldn't be paying any more than €20/m for unlimited calls/text/data, anything extra is paying for the handset, so if your bill is €50/m on a 24 month contract you are paying €720 for a handset!

If the PAYG phone is reasonably priced or I'd buy a sim free phone elsewhere, the last one I bought new came from Amazon Germany.

It's a huge download. It reduces phone memory by something around 1gb. The differences appear mostly cosmetic to me and I haven't yet seen any huge advantages. The silent mode is completely gone so it's either ringer on our vibrate, which is irritating. I'm going to do a factory reset later on to see if it improves the WiFi situation.

I noticed I can't clear the update icon at the top of the screen so it's looking like one of these updates you have no choice but to do it

my place

I know feck all about phones but I'd never get another iPhone

Mines 5 months old and complete crap

Battery lasts 12 hours max

Stops working if it gets hot

Turns off when it gets cold( happened a lot last 2 weeks if it not to cold for me too work surely phone should)

Reception is crap

And location is always at least 100 yards off
