Help me choose an Android smartphone

I have been using the budget htc wildfire s for a couple of years. At the moment I'm looking at nexus. Only here is the dilemma, take now from the remnants of the 4th or wait for the 5th? Their differences don't seem to be significant. There is no experience of orders with GP, but it is good that there are instructions. What can you advise?

I myself think about Nexus5, but solely for the sake of a stock bucket and a normally working ubunta [probably]. But, as I understand it, this is never a criterion for the author. Yes, and "great memory" and nehus - the concept is not compatible. In general, it is worth taking Lenovo (7.2k) if there are no requirements for the quality of the camera.

If you choose between the 5th and 4th Nexus, then take the 4th if you can, it is no longer in the GP. It is both cheaper and looks more elegant (imho). I don’t want to take a 5 from the 4 itself, because it’s almost like a 4.

I recommend to pay attention to Lenovo P780. An extremely important advantage of this device is a 4.2 amp battery. I've been with him for a month and I can't be happier. The rest is quite a common device, for little money.

I expect the most standard features from the phone. I need to be in touch on Skype + surfing from the phone. I do not listen to video and music, so a small amount of memory is possible. It is important that it is possible to install the necessary applications. On wildfire s I have a problem with this, there is not enough internal memory. I tried rooting and deleting all unnecessary applications, but this did not help much. I think in nexus this is not a problem.

Fours before disappearing from the GP cost $200 each. Even if the five will be sold at 350, you still need to take into account shipping in the USA + you need an intermediary in a tax-free state + delivery by an intermediary from the USA, all this will cost $ 400 at best and a month of waiting. In addition, nexuses usually run out pretty quickly and most likely you will have to monitor it regularly.
Well, traditionally, I will advise Xiaomi mi2s =)

If the filling is not so important, then take a device with a capacious battery - either the already mentioned Lenovo or the Highscreen Alpha R.
Personally, the Nexus 5 seems to me prettier than the Nexus 4, but of course it will be more expensive. If the battery of the fifth is still 3000mAh for the 32GB version, then I will take it myself.

When choosing a phone, I am now guided by the characteristics of the battery almost in the first place. Previously, there was an HTC Desire HD, because of a dead battery it was impossible to use. Now I use highscreen boost (generally satisfied), but they already have highscreen boost 2 where the battery is even more vigorous (6000 mAh)

Bought on Ebay from 23port Xiaomi Mi2s. It cost a little more than 10 thousand rubles. Phone hurricane.
