    iPhone 4s good choice
    I recently offloaded a 4s in favour of a 5s. The 4s was managing about 40 apps, I thought quite well at the time. After upgrading I'm very pleased at the overall snappiness of the 5s and the fact that with 32GB I chose instead of the 16GB I had before, can download lots of iPlayer radio without fretting. Worthwhile upgrade.
  • you should go for Sony Xperia E3 as it falls in your budget. Also, It's a really nice phone and I am also using it from long time. Sony would never let you down, at least I couldn't find any problems like failing to uninstall any apps so far. I got mine from T-dimension and it was delivered within a week. Or you can try winning a free iPhone 6S+ as they are now holding a lucky draw on their Fan page, keep my fingers crossed for you~

    My Experia offers no way of removing Facebook, Twitter and loads of other junk that I don't want on there.

    I have just bought a Wileyfox Swift and it seems very good for the money. The only minor issue is that I had to get my SIMs swapped to micro-SIMs because it won't take standard SIMs.
