Long story short,

Im still rocking an iphone 5 but its time for this thing to go, its old and i cant update it to latest ios version since it will slow down the phone a lot and most of my apps no longer work on my current ios version.

So, i need a new phone.
The problem is that I cannot afford current gen flagship phones so I need something else, something cheaper but still good.

Things I do mostly on my smarphones in order of frequency/importance:

- Browse the web
- Play games
- Take photos (altho i dont really need super high quality pics so an okay camera is fine, no need for latest tech)
- ... talk

I have to point out that this new phone must be able to run latest os versions without hurting its performance much.

Dont care much if its android or ios. I prefer IOS as an operating system but newer android versions also work for me.
Dont care about brand either. As long as the phone is decently build and with good OS then im fine.


The budget is around 340-380 euros. So, samsung galaxy s7 - ipone 6s money.
Now, id be happy enough with those phones but I am not familiar with the other brands out there, even chinese/japanese ones.

I wouldnt mind getting a chinese branded phone if it costs the same but is generally better. I've seen a lot of interesting phones on gearbest but since I dont know much about those brands i was a bit wary.

Well ive been using the small AF iphone 5 so no, im not too bothered with smaller screens (altho i admit, im starting to find the iphone 5 screen to be to small nowdays for most apps so, it has to be a bit bigger than this).

As for audio, I really dont care. I have my phone muted all the time anyways and i usually just use some headphones if i want to listen to something.
