My Nexus 5 is starting to suffer a bit, getting slow downs and low memory (RAM) warnings as the apps expect better hardware specs. Seems 2GB RAM is not enough these days...(Four years + out of it so can't complain too much.)

I didn't actually know Android had fragmented into three OS' until I read that link, you can always rely on Google to muddy the waters...

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the Android One phones, I'm not paying £600 for a Pixel (much as I would love to get one.)

My daughters like Motos. They are fairly vanilla phones and most importantly, reasonably cheap - my daughters lose or break phones fairly regularly.

I like Samsung phones. I replaced the battery recently and my S5 now seems as good as the day I bought it, helped I am sure because Samsung do not keep updating the OS. I intend to hang on to it for as long as I can get replacement batteries as I think a phone without a replaceable battery is an outrageous scam.

Of course the other option I should have mentioned at the time is the refurb route, Pixels here for £250-£300...
