    Hi guys i currently have a samsung s3 and i found it a great phone. its now three years old and i need to upgrade. I like the samsung platform the s3 was a great phone and ticked all the boxes for me. im looking at either the s5 or the s6 and cant decide which one, i hear good and not so good about both.
    I might consider htc as well if someone could point me in the right direction. My phone needs to run 24/7 for my job so battery life is important, phone is mainly used for calls and texts. A good camera is preferred also.
    I dont do a lot of surfing at the moment but with a larger screen i would like to do more and getaway from the laptop.
    If someone could give me some pros and cons and some pointers i would appreciate it.
    Thanks a lot in advance,
    Ollie.:)

    What's your budget? Are you buying new or second hand?

    Coming from the S3, you'll find anything released in the last couple of years pretty amazing. Touchwiz was terrible back then.

    Hi Basil3 thanks for the quick reply, i will probably be buying sim free off ebay or donedeal. Budget is approx 400, would not mind second hand if fairly recent. I was really thinking about the s5 but dont want to be buying too old technology. Then i was looking at the s6, whats making me hesitate is no removable battery so phone life is going to be short. Its nice to be able to buy a new battery yourself and install it.
    What do you think?
    Thanks
