Phones - Anything but Apple

[KarlMac]

My upgrade is due in March, I've had a 4,4S,5 & 5S with each one progressively worse than the last. I don't like the iOS and they don't seem as slick as it used to be. My 5s crashes constantly and battery is down to about 8 hours.

I really liked my Galaxy S2 when I had that, so I was going to go with the S5 but wondered if theres something else I should be looking at? Don't know anything about HTC/Sony so welcome any suggestions.

Not windows phone though. Have a company one and its not for me.

Galaxy S6 is out in April, might be worth waiting to see if thats any good or not.

The Nexus 6 is pretty good but far too big in my opinion.

The Android phone I'd choose is the Sony Xperia Z3. Superb battery life, great screen and features and nice to hold and use.

Only downside is there may be a Z4 released later in the year with some better features.

Sony Z3 did catch my eye, mainly due to compatibility / gimmicks with my ps4. Is there a comparison anywhere with my 5S (its been a long time since I've looked at ram etc...)

Sounds odd, what is it crashing on? I've got a 5 that I've had since launch and never had a problem with it.

Messaging/iMessage/Gmail app/safari.

It also randomly turn off at a random point when the battery is <50% and refuse to turn back on until mains power is connected, where it will then show 60%+ life.

Had a closer look at the Z3 and Moto X last night, looks like it'll be the Sony as I'm a bit of a Sony fanboy...
