    I honestly don't know my arse from my elbow when i t comes to phones. I've tried to research them but i can't make head nor tails of the specifications, what's good, what's not.

    I have about €300 give or take to get a new phone. My current one is a heap of crap. Samsung S4 mini. Hated it after a couple of months.

    I was thinking of the OPO or maybe stretching for the OP2 (would prob have to stick with the 16gb though) if i can get an invite. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. If there are better alternates for the money I'm all ears.

    What did you hate about the first phone? If it was the operating system, lumia might be the way to go..

    No i like the os, think id stay with android.

    It just kept freezing. Was only 8 gigs so kept running out of space which led it to be slow. Also battery kept randomly overheating. Duno how i haven't hopped it off the wall in two years... but then again its two years old and going reasonably well

    It ticks all the boxes in regards to spec
    Full HD screen
    2gb ram
    Decent enough processor and camera
    Good size battery
    16g storage, plus takes a memory card
    All depends on what you want from a phone
    Downside for me is the size,5.5 inch screen is too big
