Recommended phone to upgrade From the S2

Reddax

I currently own the Galaxy S2, and a little disappointed with the battery life, so i was wondering, I have around £300 to £350 to spend on a new phone, and i want one with good battery life, better than the S2, any recommendations?

The Nexus 5 will be announced before the end of the month. I'd recommend waiting till that comes out and then weighing up your options as it's likely the Nexus 5 will be in your budget.

At the moment i'd suggest the Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini if you want to stay with Samsung.

The HTC One Mini, Nokia Lumia 920/925, Motorola Razr I, Huawei Ascend P2/P6 and Sony Xperia SP are also worth a look at.

Alternatively, If you're happy with the S2 and don't mind keeping it into the new year then i strongly recommend this battery from Anker. I've used it myself and can say that the battery life is really something.

Nokia 105 12.5 hours talk time and 35 (yes, 35) days standby.


On a serious note, it'll be cheaper just to buy a new battery.
All these new 4 cores hardly contribute to a better battery life while the batteries technology remains essentially the same.

Get a phone with a smaller screen. Big bright screens sap the battery in no time.

S4 mini looks similar, And not really a huge improvement. S4 is slightly better but again something is missing.
No WOW factor.
