    All I need to know is in the title. I've had the s2 for 3ish years now and it's been a good servant but the battery life is almost 0.

    Looking for thoughts and opinions :)

    If you're on a budget then the Moto G is hard to beat.

    Great phone, performance, updates etc for around €150 depending on if you get the 4G version or the 2014 5" version.

    Budget could go to about 400ish so the best in that price range. Sorry should have said it in the original post

    Oneplus one
    best phone out there for that money, no issues with it regarding the yellow screen or anything like that. works out around 373 for a phone that should easily last you 3-4 years.
    battery life gets you around a days usage, camera is amazing, 3gb of ram and 64gb internal space * no sd card slot though means you might be hard pressed to fill it.
    It is bigger than the s2 and if you have small hands it might take a while getting used to it. but for the money you wouldnt get a better phone.

    Good choice.

    You can get them for under 350 now, not much difference between the Z2 and Z3, it's still a high end phone with 3gb ram

    LG G3. Buy from Amazon i don't think the networks carry it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 117 ✭✭BeardedBadger


    I was thinking about going for the Sony z3 compact but I've heard terrible things about the screens cracking for no reason.

    The LG looks like a great phone but with the screen is the battery life terrible?

    The oneplus one is a great phone but do you still have to go through that invitation ****e or can you just order it?

    Avoid Sony whatever you do. Their build quality has declined seriously in the last few years. Screens cracking for no reason on the Z series are a major turnoff.

    you can buy every tuesday without an invite, though the invites are really easy to come across if you just go to the invite thread

    I've had this for 6 months. lightening fast, great battery life, good camera, waterproof, excellent build quality and imo, very nice looking phone. white better than black imo.

    Decided to go with the oneplus one 64gb, shipped today.

    Cheers for all the advice. Can't wait to get my hands on it now. Anyone know how long it takes to ship with standard delivery?

    If it's within your budget OP, go for the Z3c, great reviews, possibly the best battery life.

    Great reviews but if you check it out a lot of people are having problems with the screen cracking without even being dropped it was the first phone I picked to go for but after reading that they're not at robust it kinda turned me off it.
