My Wife upgraded from the S3 to the Xperia Z3 and she prefers the Sony to Samsung.
I have found now after a year of use, the battery is starting to drain a little bit quicker, but all in all, it's still a decent phone. Camera could be better as it does take a wee while for the capture to happen if you are in low light etc.. (Probably processor based)
If it's still going strong this time next year, I may not need to upgrade, which is good, because there are no new phones out recently that make me think wow at the moment.”
Mines still going strong after 2 years. Battery still seems to be holding up. Although the good thing about the S5 is the battery can be easily replaced.
I was on contract with EE, but went SIM only with Life Mobile, who run on EE (2G/3G only). £5.95/month (via uSwitch) for 1,000 minutes, 5,000 texts and 1GB of data.
I thought about upgrading to the S7, but there's nothing wrong with my S5 and I'm saving a lot every month going SIM only.
