Hey guys looking for a new phone around $400~ give or take. Wondering what are some good options. Looking at the LG G3/Oneplus One and the Asus Zenfone. Anyone have any experiences with these? Good battery life is a priority.
Cheers

Of the ones you have listed i'd go the G3.
But the S5 is also around the same price. Both have replacable battery and SD card slotG3 (3Gb version) has better screen, camera has OIS. Less bloatware.
S5 will be easier to support, find screen protectors/covers. Would have a few more bells and whistles. You'd think it would be supported for longer but both have lollipopFlip of the coin. I wouldnt go Zenphone. Oneplus One has had mixed feedback in terms of build quality
The OnePlus one has really good build quality, except for the fact if you drop your screen and it cracks, your touchscreen isn't going to work.
If battery life is your priority at that price point, you need to have a look at the Xperia Z2/Z3/Z3 compact.
Whatever you do, I'd recommend going into a shop and having a feel of the handsets your considering.
The options you've listed are bigger phones, but all vary quite differently.
OnePlus is having an announcement on June 1, so it is likely the OnePlus 2 will be announced early next week.Anyone know any good deals on s5's at the moment?
Watch the Asus Zenfone.
I have the Zenfone 5, and it's a fantastic phone.
However, the battery life sucks!
I have to leave it on a battery pack overnight, or it will be nearly flat 12 hours after charging it.
I like the phone, will keep it, have adapted to how I use it, but would not have bought it had I known how poor the battery life is.
