Bored of Apple/iOS

I think I'm bored with my iPhone 5.
I recently bought the 6S but returned it after I found it was way too similar to my 5, apart from a bigger screen, faster and better battery.
I do love the way iOS is clutter free, simple to navigate and syncs well with my iTunes etc. I'm by no means a heavy user though, I don't own any other Apple products.
I only really use my phone for calls, texts, whatsapp, facebook, banking and email.
To me, a quality display and battery life are the most important aspects of a phone, and also I would quite like to avoid the ridiculous price tag that comes with Apple.
I've read great things about the LG G4 but I wouldn't get on with the size of it (5.5 inches). Also been looking at the P8 Lite but battery life is a concern.
Is there anything out there that can fit my needs?

Z5 compact.

At £380, initial thoughts are that it seems a bit pricey?
But that could be because I've been reading a lot of good things about budget smartphones lately (£100 mark).

It seems all the bigger handsets don't have a problem with battery life.
I just can't seem to get along with a massive phone which is a shame.

Not sure what you're expecting from a new phone, all upgrades mostly end up being the same as you had previously, but faster with a few new features.

For making calls, using Whatsapp and facebook etc how do you expect an Android phone to be different from your iPhone?

For basic features all smart phones are pretty much the same.

The UI will be different and my 5 struggles to keep up these days
