The thing that's got me irritated is the sub-par camera _again_. I'm really frustrated with the camera on my N5, and I'm now worried that the only place I can go is an iphone 6+. Do not want. :(
LG G3 or Xperia Z3. Probably the best photographic phones on the market by a long margin ( assuming you are outside China and can't lay your hands on a Vivo Xshot ).
Edit: the Note 4 camera is said to be pretty decent but not quite in the same class, though the screen has excellent accuracy. I have no experience with Nokia-Microsoft phones.
Technically, better ( honest-to-the-scene ) cameras and lenses.
But Apple does a lot of magic in software to make their images 'pop'.
I think it's probably comparable to, say, Sigma[0] versus Zeiss SLR lenses. Sigma make some astonishingly good wide-angle SLR lenses but Zeiss give a certain appealing 'look' even if they're actually less competent in some measurements.
[0] yes, they of the mega-zoom infamy. But their new Art series of lenses is amazing.
Highlights: the screen and external speaker. The newest Moto X is a larger than the one I have. I think it's in between the Nexus 5 and 6, in size.
The only issue I have with the new Moto X: can't unlock the bootloader.
