Currently using S4. Main issues are battery life and overheating whilst charging. Ideally looking for a monster battery with a modest screen size and Australian 4G

I'm not familiar with Australian LTE frequencies, but if the bands are what you need, it's hard to beat the battery life. The rest of the phone is quite decent as well, so long as you aren't looking for a great camera.
The zuk z2 offers more LTE bands than the Redmi 4 prime, and is a very nice all around phone (if you can get past the looks). Nowhere near as much of a battery monster as the Redmi 4, but still very good Battery life.

I've used Xiaomi phones for years through brutal Thai summers.(2016-12-22, 12:40)Jh1 Wrote: [ -> ]I'll second the Redmi 4 prime. Using one right now.

Thank you everyone for replying! Reviews for Xiaomi look great, but how about overheating? Big problem in Australian weather. I haven't found anyone doing temp tests with games, charging or even google maps in the car
