one for the techies
so my iphone 4 is dying ( it cost me approx 6 euro a month approx 2.5 have a sim only contract over )
so i wonder what is out there that is no bull **** and works.

to be honest nothing i missed from the 4 apart from a dual sim card , internet that is a bit faster and a slighly bigger screem would be good but not a monster screem if i can avoid , as i like the 4 to carry around.

I do hate to use the phone ( i hate it if i dont see people when i talk ) so at least it it should have a good voice transmition ( something the iphone 4 did not do very well in my mind )

what i like aobut the i phone is that the touch screem works very well ( and i do defo want at least as good as this and with most phones before have struggled using the touch screem) and I think do like the way the apple phone work simple clear and uncomplicated ( at least 2.5 years ago when i looked the last time at phones i found it easier to use than android or microsoft ( this could well have changed and iam happy to change )

the other thing I like is a decent video camera with slow motion
and if it was water proof (ish) that would be god as i have waterlocked some phones ( i see there is a sony and a motorola phone could fit )

oh as mentioned a dual sim card phone would be good and often use another sim card
the rest like desgin weight etc i could not care robust is what i want and buy a silicon case around the phone anyway. i dodnt do selfies i dodnt play games

I guess the simplest option would be to go to the 5 which i see i can get for a similar price i paid for the 4 (under 200 euro)
but i wonder anything else out their that i should have a look at ( i dont care aobut the brand if it is a soild built phone)

I saw this below a bit big but I guess that would do me ( or not ???)

Samsung Galaxy S5 ticks a lot of those boxes:

works well as a phone
large touchscreen
dual sim
good front and rear cameras
good video
IP67 certification so you can use it underwater (<1m for 30mins). I've used mine as an underwater video camera for analysis.
Uninspiring design

There wee 2 techies reviewing phones on The Last Word last week. I believe for mid range one recommended a Motorolla and the other a One plus One. Here's the podcast

Just go to the end for their summaries

the motorla one has a screen that won't break and a charge that holds for three days.

i'd have a look here as an option:

the s5 gets slated as a phone, samsung lost the plot on that one, s4 good, s6 very good, but the s5..:(

one plus one is the old model, tough to get, would think it was probably the one plus x they were recommending, you need an invite to order it , or else it's anyone can buy on a tuesday only. the more expensive model is the one plus two which replaced the one plus one

the one plus models are dual sim. dual standby though rather than dual active
