Anyone got one? Decent? Is 16GB enough? Apps I frequently use are Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, Fantasy Football, Banking, Soundcloud & Spotify.

Can't decide between 16GB or the 64GB. Bit of a change in price & deals so only going to pay it if it's a necessity. I've been stuck with an 8GB which has been getting on my tits as I keep running out of memory, don't want that scenario again.
 
I got one last week and it's a big improvement on the 5 I previously had. Quicker, better battery, better camera and all in all a really good phone. I went with the 64, just don't think 16 gives you any flexibility once u add some music and apps on. Not much more money for the 64.
 
Right now, Samsung galaxy S6, HTC One M9 and LG G4 in my opinion. I was firmly in the iPhone camp until I made the leap. Now I wonder why I was ever reluctant to make the switch.

Everything that Apple comes out with as an 'innovative new feature' has been on Android for at least 2 years. And I mean everything. 'Deep press' is long press that has been on Android since day one. The moving pictures thing has been included on HTC phones for the last 3 iterations.

Give them a go, I guarantee that after a day or so you'll wonder why you ever wanted an iPhone.

Also, for anyone else looking for a new phone, check out a new British phone company called Wileyfox. They're in the process of launching 2 seriously good phones at extremely good prices. I've currently got a Wileyfox Storm on pre-order!
 
I got a Samsung S6 and it's the best phone I've had in ages.
I'm not a gadget man by any stretch but this is a fantastic bit of kit.
I recommend you get one if you fancy swapping codes and going android.

Just checked another website and found a 64gb on a better deal. I reckon that's it, sorted.

Knew this would get posted. I've been an iPhone man for a while, not sure I'd fancy a switch. What are the best Android phones around? Just to take a look at...

HTC One M9. So much easier to upload music and videos to (just drag and drop like when copying files to another location on your PC); no fucking about with iTunes. Another plus (already mentioned) is the expandable memory; I've got a 128GB micro SD card in mine. Not bad (ish) camera quality for a mid-range phone, though I've heard the Sony ones are better;

Easier to personalise (ringtones, message tone, backgrounds, icons etc etc) than Apple's overpriced, overhyped product as well. No brainer for me
 
I've flitted between Android and iPhone for years now but have finally settled in the Android camp. There are too many pro's with android. Expandable memory being the main one. Dissapointing the Galaxy S6 left this feature out. I suppose the imessage thing was good but everyone seems to use whattsap now anyway. And you'll pay less on a new contract than the massively overpriced apple products.
 
Whatever you do, don't switch to Samsung or Android. Worst 2 years of my mobile phone owning life has finally ended. Bought myself out of the last 5 months of my contract I hated the phone and operating system that much. Back to an iPhone with the 6 plus now, done wonders for my stress levels actually having a phone that works.

I'm sorry that not part of the script. It's a well known fact that everyone who moves to having an Android wishes they'd done it years before, feel an idiot and a sheep for ever considering the iPhone and extol the virtues of Androids at any vaguely phone related conversation.

They never ever go back to the iPhone.

If you must get one, get the 64gb. You'll be annoyed when you have to start deleting stuff.

I get annoyed for the same reason but I have a solution. Memory cards.

Don't go for the galaxy s6 unless it's some kind of status symbol for you, can get a galaxy s5 plus a load of other souped up androids from the likes of Sony or htc for less than 25 per month. Don't be a mug.

Apart from price, exactly the reason I chose the s5. It uses however many 64gb cards I get. Plus I like the waterproofness and leather feel back. Still must admit I'm typing this on an s3, feels comfy as an Internet portal so can see where Apple customers who won't change are coming from. Silly, nowt daft as folk

Totally agree about the Galaxy. My wife has one and hates it with a passion. It will end its days smashed against a wall methinks.

You know about Zedge, right? I've used that since 2006, got the agueroooo sound from it.

Modern Android does everything an iphone does and more, usually they play catch up. My old mid range galaxy ace was, whilst the s2 was out, was equal to the iphone4 in spec and performance! I've used both. But iphone is twice as much. Bollocks to that.
