Which Android phone should I upgrade to?

RE: Which Android phone should I upgrade to?
I had a Galaxy S3 and upgraded to a Nexus 5 for a pretty good price, used. Very happy with it. For PPSSPP and other apps, leagues better, and Lollipop is great. Size is comparable to the S3, as well as weight. I think it's thinner, and it definitely looks nicer.

Downsides of the Nexus 5:
* No removable battery / backplate.
* No extra micro SD storage slot (you're stuck with whatever storage you get.)
* Doesn't have S apps (I only miss the Samsung keyboard, and only barely.)

That said, it depends on how much you want to spend (I prefer to spend less upfront than more in monthly chunks, and am generally a cheapskate which is why I bought it used, though it's in absolutely perfect condition.) If you're willing to spend a lot, there are much better phones out there, and if you want a larger screen there are a lot of options. I carefully mapped out around 20 options before picking this one, but that was just for my needs and wants.

Another thing I recommend is getting a wireless charger. They're pretty nice. Newer phones should support them (including the Nexus 5.) Pretty sure the S3 didn't, but could be wrong.
