What phone to replace a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 ?

I'm thinking of changing my Galaxy Note 3 to something thats at least the equivalent size screen wise and with at least the same spec both processor and graphics wise or better.

I'm not into the iphone and ios, i'm open to suggestions otherwise for any other Android phones, the Sony ones seem to be good so if you can suggest some models i'm all ears, a strong reception is a must really.

Tbh there no point in changing your Note 3 yet, it's still top end you gain nothing just less screen size.

Stick with what you have and wait till the Note 4 in September.

It maybe top end if you could actually get a reasonable signal, check out google and the amount of people complaining about signal issues with this phone, the antenna on the Galaxy Note 3 seems to be its achilles heel. Ive tried 3 different network SIM's in this Note 3 and its been the same result each time, pretty poor signal strength. Ive had a mate stand next to me with a cheap phone that cost £70, he was on the same network as me and he was getting a far stronger signal than i was on my Note 3.

Can't believe people who would use a metal case on a mobile phone, ive tried both in and out of a case and its no different, i was using a Spigen case which is rubber and plastic, they are very good cases. Like i said the signal reception is poor both in a case and out of a case.
