New android phone?

Hey, I need a new phone and I'm definitely not getting a new iphone. I currently have the 6 and it always crashes around 30-50% back home because of the cold weather. I've gone to apple but because my warranty expired they're refusing to send me a replacement. Plus iphones are garbage compared to android phones nowadays..

I'm deciding to go with android and I've been looking everywhere for advice so I'm gonna ask what you guys think.
If you were to compare price against functionality which android phone would be ideal?

For example, is shelling out the extra £150 really worth it when buying the s7 compared to the s6?

What about models like the J7, A7? Are they worthwhile?

Also some models are listed as 32gb but I've been told that I can increase the memory for all of them as much as I want, do all models fall under this? I tend to take a lot of photos and my phone always ends up being filled up really quickly so this function is a real seller for me.

thanks so much I really hope I can get some help on the subject.

But why? Just because its a newer model isn't a seller for me. I need to know if paying the extra money is worthwhile. Are the specs that much better than its predecessor? Are there other phones on the market with similar specs for a better price?

5.5-inches for the Galaxy S7 Edge and 5.1-inches for its predecessor
I have S7 Edge (Onyx Black) 100% Waterproof *Did a video test underwater for like 2-3 hours* the sounds/speaker might be weird cuz there is still water inside but after awhile when the water is gone it will be back to normal.
What kind of phone you want ? Good Camera? Waterproof?

i think waterproofing is maybe one the last of my worries

I want a phone with good specs, a good camera, fast load time and a very good battery life. Having to charge my phone all the time is one of the reasons I'm not buying another iphone

I don't mind buying an s7 or an edge if it's worth paying the extra money. And only then would I invest more money. If there's no point and I can save myself a few hundred quid then I'll just stick with the previous model, right?

What about the note 5, a7, pixel? Are these viable candidates or not? pls do consider price too

if waterproof isnt a problem for you, id go with one of the LG generations. im not sure about waterproof on higher generations but either way, i would say the LG is a very fast phone with better camera than galaxy (L5 compared to S7), it has a naturally large screen and i would say it has a long battery life aswell as a good processor.

also can anyone answer this?

Also some models are listed as 32gb but I've been told that I can increase the memory for all of them as much as I want, do all models fall under this? I tend to take a lot of photos and my phone always ends up being filled up really quickly so this function is a real seller for me.

screen size is not much of selling point as it still has to fit in my pocket (which arent quite big especially for tablet phones). I've been using the regular iphone 6 and before that the 5 (which was such a good size but sadly broke)

I have a tendency to be really careless and drop my phone quite a lot - durability wise will they suffer?

ive heard about this before too. I dont know i mean plugging in a cable doesnt take too much effort on my part. especially if the battery life is good enough that I dont need to keep charging it all the time

im a student so i dont have that much money to throw about. this is the first phone that i have to buy solely out of my own money so I dont want to make a mistake. looking around, budget wise, higher end phones might be a bit out of my price range.

do you have any recommendations for mid-range phones?
