Any phone that you are aware of?

can you recommend any phone nearly 5" (5.2/3 the max) is fine that has a removable battery apart from galaxy?

zenfone5 seemed decent, but then been told that sometimes Playstore will not function (i don't care, zenfone is off from my list)

LG G3 S  specs are not as good, but it is cheaper then smaller then large G3

 

 

older LG G2 would be perfect i think.  but i am not sure if you only want brand new phone.

I would still considerthe LG G3, yes it's 5.5 but with the minimal bezels it's not that big

I'm looking at the G Pro 2. It's 5.9" tho... But it has several advantages over my current G2: memory card slot, better screen, better flash, better speakers, removable battery, bigger battery, thinner body. And you can get them quite cheap now, very cheap for the power they have.

 

The LG G2 does not have a memory card slot or a removable battery. Samsung's new S6 is copying the G2, which is now over 18 months old. LOL

...and I have to say, when I ordered it I was concerned this 5.2-inch G2 would be a bit too big but once I got it, I realised I have room in the pockets of all my clothing for something bigger. I type with two thumbs too, so a bigger screen would help for me.

not officially, but it certainly can be done easy enough, as it is not sealed, and the back cover can be popped off.    lots of people done it

I would just go for the LG G3. Like someone mentioned, it's really not that big, but it's a phenomenal phone.

i knew i would get these responses. equal or lower than 5.3 and removable please (g2 is not removable)

[james.faction]

Very precise requirements, LOL. Not much around matching all of that aside from Samsung. Removable battery has been "out of fashion" for more than a year.

You can try searching here http://www.gsmarena.com very comprehensive smartphone database including forthcoming phones over the next couple months.

 

The "G3-A" is like a G2 with a removable battery. Much better chipset than G3-S. Battery is smaller than G2 or G3 tho. http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_g3_a-6562.php

a big fat nothing then.

 

research in chinese/korean export market, possibly?

 

 

and, as i said, G2 battery is removable, non officially, but without too much effort.
