According to GSMArena it says upgradeable to Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 so it should get it soon
Sorry I didn't make myself clear.

I meant an actual physical new J5 model, like the new A5, rather than a software update.


The A5 looks nice, but at three hundred quid it is getting close to flagship money...

I used to be a loyal Apple fan until they priced themselves out of the market, and went to Android buying Samsung S5.
To get a new contract phone now your talking £800 - £1000 contract. I plumped for a sim only deal and purchased a Chinese import Elephone P9000. Excellent spec super fast processor, top notch spec for £150.
Cant be beat for that

I hope the phones are more reliable than the website, which is currently down with no explanation given...

After concluding I can't cope with anything bigger than 4.7 inches (ooh-er Mrs, etc), I've sent the Moto G back and gone for the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 4.7 inch, £95 returned item from Ebay. All online reviews are positive so far.

I'm really confused, I was going to buy a 3rd gen Moto g because I have read reviews that the 4th general isn't as good. I've also read that Marshmallow is causing problems with some phones.

I want to buy a 2nd hand refurbished 4g phone, I'd like a decent camera. I am tempted to go for an iPhone 5 because I like the look of my daughter's ipod touch but don't really want to be tied to apple products. Any suggestions gratefully received. My current phone is a Galaxy Ace 2.

There's a couple of posts on HUKD that the LG Nexus 5X is £130 now, from both O2 and Carphone Warehouse, conditions apply.

I had it for a few days. It was a nice looking phone, but couldn't deal with the lagging on EMUI, plus certain things not working as they should. Shame as I really wanted to like it, but couldn't overlook those flaws. Maybe you'll like it better than me .
