The S6 hardware quality is a lot better than their previous offerings, that's for sure! The whole '3D Touch' thing is just a gimmick really. Android has had a similar function for years now. That's CrApple for you  If you want a well manufactured phone with a user experience that's not too 'in your face' (like Samsung's TouchWiz is) then I'd say go for the Xperia series. Great build quality, great aesthetic design, and a great user experience that's similar to Stock Android (like the Nexus series) but offers added features on top. Camera quality is amazing also. My Xperia Z2 has a 20.7MP camera that I use for my Flickr photos. The difference being that you be will able to use the 3D Touch software on a solid working phone as apposed to using it on a Samsung that's inflicted with issues a plenty. Sony phones do seem solid TBH in all departments and I believe they are getting popular again though I wonder if they'll be as popular as the Sony Erricson 'walkman' phones - they were very popular and I always wanted one at the time but sadly never owned one. Should you get a good Samsung you will barely have issues, Samsung make a variety of different phones with different price ranges. If you buy one at a similar price to an iPhone there won't be nearly as much problems as one that is much cheaper. I used to have a Walkman phone, a Sony Erricson W205. Lasted me a good 4 years which is quite a while for phone standards. Then I made the worst mistake of my life and got a Blackberry. Back in 2012 there was a "BB Wave" where everyone suddenly decided to get a BlackBerry. My phone lasted exactly a year from 25th March 2012 to 25th March 2013. Then I decided to move back to Sony and ended up with an Xperia Miro. It was a really good phone for its price and I really liked it however its touchscreen did start to become unresponsive and as I had started using my phone a lot more I felt it was best to move onto a Contract Phone. That's when I saw the Huawei Ascend P6 which looked like and was a really good value for money. I never had a problem with this phone while I had it and it served me well. However not much people buy Huawei phones Then that brings me onto my current phone which is a Galaxy S6. |

It started off fine but then it would throw up stupid faults for no sensible reason such as taking a picture and then immediately freezing for about a hour until miraculously recovering. It would also muck up my Duran Duran music collection which is criminal lol. |

Black Friday (27th) and cyber Monday afterwards should create some bargains of interest, for smartphones or otherwise.

After weeks of deliberation the phone tender results are in Supplier : EE Contract term 24 months Cost per month £32.50 - Unlimited calls - Unlimited texts and 5gb Data Phone Samsung S6 I know I was against the S6 but after reading various reviews I decided to try one more Android phone. And I save nearly £15 per month by switching to EE  |

You also seem to have a very generous data allowance compared to me (250MB per month LOL) |

Snoggle's results are now the last tranche for this year left to be announced!!! lol I fear TfL will manage to announce every o/s tender before I decide.   To be honest I reset my old phone and it behaves itself rather better so I'm not in the market. I really can't justify a new phone if my existing one works given the low usage I make of it. It'd be throwing money away which I can't afford to do. I am grateful for all the suggestions people made though. |
