    So with my xperia s on the way out decided to get a new phone. Have 280 in cex vouchers so will probably buy from there.

    Looking for a high end phone from maybe 2 years ago. Have to be on 3 network . Preference to buy one pre owned. I thinking maybe a s3 or 4. ?Reasonably fast good battery life and reliability are my main concerns. Would have to be 16gb minimum.

    Any suggestions for other makes or models that I should consider would be great appreciated.

    P.S. An exchangeable battery is a serious plus

    Wouldnt mind a micro sd slot either.

    Samsung galaxy a5? It's newer, has a better body, but it's not as powerful as the S4.

    The S4 is an ok phone, the camera shutter speed was my only major gripe with it. It's very small & nice for a 5in phone. Nice to hold in the hand.

    Looks interesting was also thinking about a z2 just within my budget looks like a level above the S4.

    If this was me I'd get a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 for 169e new (although doubt you can get one in CEX).

    Could you get a Nexus 4 or 5 for that in CEX?
