Note 3 user looking for a new phone

[Guest fatgit]

I currently have a 32Gb Note 3 and my contract is ending (T-mobile UK), so I'm looking for a new phone, but with the influx of cheaper brands I'm struggling a bit :)

I like my Note 3, but it does have major problems with the bluetooth crashing (have to toggle flight mode to get it working), which is a pain as I also have a Sony SW3, so want something that is at least as powerful as the Note 3, preferably has micro SD and removable battery (although not essential). I don't need the same size screen as I was using it instead of a tablet when I got it, but as I have fat fingers, I need a reasonably sized screen (wife has a Moto E which is definitely too small), and I'd prefer Marshmallow and decent wifi (NFC would be nice, but not essential).

Budget is around the £200-£250 mark.

 

I mainy use it for IRC, text, browsing, streaming/watching video, social media and as a hotspot.

 

Can anyone recommend any phones? (If there's anything within the budget)?

 

Thanks!
