1. Brand - any brand will do/reliable brand
2. Budget - Please recommend for 2 budgets (1.5k and 2k)
3. Specs - dont care as long its super smooth
4. What you need in the phone - It has to be smooth and have a decent camera.
I'm currently using the nexus 5 and its an amazing phone. Fast updates and buttery performance and the few things I dislike is the camera performance, wished for a better screen and also running out of space since I'm using 16GB model. I'm looking at the LG G4 now but was looking for other opinion.
Thanks!

if you opt for micro sd slot. G4 is awesome
if you want latest updates, stay with nexus line or cyanogenmod support devices
opx is nice

Hi guys, my phone got stolen today and I need a replacement quick, so I just need help with some of your input on top of my rushed 'research'.
Stolen phone was a Xiaomi Mi3, an absolute gem.
1. Brand, as long as it has reliable aftersales.
2. Budget around 1.5k and below
3. Specs include quad core at least, >16gb as I use spotify and reading apps a lot.
4. What I need in the phone: Clean snappy UI, good camera (one of the weaker points of my Mi3), battery can make it past dinner.
10 mins ago I was considering splurging on an S6 for the camera alone, but the 1k premium over my budget is very hard to justify considering how well an RM700 phone has served almost all my needs with the exception of the camera.
Thanks!
camera
honor 6 plus
mi 4i
find 7
snappy ui
any nexus or cm supported devices
s6 or any Samsung with 16mp cameras are great.
