Help Upgrade from Galaxy S4 to ?

[Balbazek]

Hi,

I've had a Galaxy S4 for the past two years and I love it. I'm due for a new phone in a few weeks and I'm looking for advice on upgrades. I was thinking about the S6, but I am not happy about the lack of a removable battery. Is there anything out there comparable to the Samsung Galaxy phones?

Samsung Note 4, current flagship device, removable battery. Assuming you want to stay with Samsung.

If the size works for you the Note is the obvious choice. Otherwise I think the LG G4 also has a removable battery.

I'd personally say that HTC and Sony flagships are at least comparable to Samsung Galaxies - it really depends whether there is something in particular you like about the Sammys. But while they have removable storage (which the S6 lacks) neither has a removable battery.

The key is to go and have a play with the phones yourself and see what appeals to you. Unless you have some specific requirements most high end handsets will do anything most people want.

Personally I'd go for the G4 (or OnePlus 2, depending on specs/reviews)
And yeah g4 has removable battery I'm fairly sure I saw it in a Flossy review the other day)

FTFY

Such is the state of the technology now, I doubt that 99% of users would really notice the difference between a £250 and a £500 handset. Make your choice based on features that you will use, not on spec sheets or adverts. Handle as many devices as you can, and if a salesperson recommends a particular one to you ask them "why?". If their answer doesn't match needs feel free to ignore them. It's your device and your money, after all.
