Phone recommendations please - Android, 5.5" (ish) screen
Discussion
Hi all,
I recently bought my wife an Oppo Find 7a, and at first, we thought it was excellent. It had several brilliant features but it really does feel like it is a beta test phone. Lots of crashes, corrupted the 32Gb card losing all the data on it, randomly freezing etc. So I am in the process of returning it now.
Wife has said she would be more than happy with my Note 2, so it means that I can then go for an upgrade.
I actually really like the Note 2. It is the perfect size for me, does everything I need it to do etc.
I have a budget of up to £350, and would, if at all possible, like to buy it from Amazon as they have exceptional customer service (which I have used once with the Note 2, and I would desperately like to have with the Oppo but so far, the service has been mediocre at best).
So, in summary, the phone must be Android, under £350, 5.5" screen or there abouts. It does not have to be the latest or greatest (have considered the Note 3) but it should be new, and from a recognised mainstream brand, and from Amazon.
So, the floor is yours.
Thanks

Well, I have a few things to think about then!
Firstly, I have to wait for the whole Oppo situation to resolve itself. I am not happy with the phone and I have lost confidence in it - it needs to be reliable when out and about, without crashing or corrupting data. Once I have it returned and refunded, I will take a few weeks to see if the price of the Note 3 comes down when the 4 is released.
This is unless Amazon get their grubby mitts on a OnePlus One (rather than just a 3rd party selling through Amazon), in which case I could be tempted.
Some of the other options look interesting too!
