Want a change from LG Nexus 5 - Any recomendations?

    Hi all,

    Just a quick one....
    I have had it with my LG Nexus 5 phone....

    I go away alot and I find that the phone does not have a great mobile signal or even a great wifi signal for that matter, not to mention the fact that I have received feedback that i seem to be away from the phone when speaking to people directly, which i can only put down to the noise reducing microphone built into it...

    If i use the phone at all I would be lucky to get a day out of it, but usually only 18 hours....

    I do like taking pictures, so i would like a phone with a decent camera and flash, but also like a phone that does not drain when i use an App for an hour....

    Any suggestions out there would be much apprecaited....

    Cheers

    Budget, up to €350 - €400 for a sim free handset. Have never heard of the one + 1 but will check it out... Cheers

    You're not getting a better phone than a Nexus 5 for that money.

    LG G3, best phone i've had and i've owned a Nexus 5, HTC One M8 and a OnePlus One.

    Can be got sim free for around 400e, Amazon.de, Mobile Phones Direct or Ebay Link 1, Ebay Link 2.

    A few on here have also been getting them from China from eglobal

    Lg g3 is a Nice phone but the QHD screen is not helping the battery.

    I have the oneplus one and I love it to pieces!

    Yes there both good phones, i just prefer the LG, worth the 50e extra imo.

    Had a few software issues with the Oneplus One when i got it, would freeze up and become unresponsive, had to connect it to the charger for it to reboot. Also for the same screen size the G3 is more compact and feels better in the hand.

    The screen is great and i get 2 days battery life with low-medium usage.

    Join the OnePlus One group on Facebook, there is usually someone giving away invites daily on there. Quite easy got now.

    I've had the OnePlus One about 3 months and I'd highly recommend it.

    I actually bought the phone from their website today at 4pm... It was open for an hour so it should be delivered in 1-2 weeks...

    In saying that, my nexus 5 just got updated to Android Lollipop 5.0 which is awesome....

    Does your Oneplus one operate off 4.4.4 or 5.0?

    One plus one runs Cyanogen which has not been officially updated yet
