Sony Xperia Z series - I've got an Xperia Z1, can safely say it's the only phone ever to last me through a 2 year contract... Only things to go wrong are when I've accidentally ragged off the port covers and needed to buy a new set, which are a few quid on ebay for genuine ones. Stuck a glass screen protector on, which has undoubtedly saved the screen, it's fallen down through multiple engine bays whilst being used as a phone, it's waterproof and has ended up in puddles of oil, coolant, water and is absolutely fine... It's done the 2 year contract, and I'm not getting another because I'm perfectly happy with the phone, don't need to change it, which is incredibly rare. Has a cracking camera, taken some pretty good shots for a phone camera, I mean, David Bailey isn't going to shit his knickers, but for taking the odd snap, it's fine - not to mention you can take a snap whilst in the shower - win!? Battery life is usually 2 days, but by the end of the second day, you're low - but this is probably par for the course with any smartphone these days.
A little more expensive than you might want to spend, they're about £190 brand new, as above they do a Compact version which is basically same phone, smaller, lower res screen, but that's only difference. Since I've got large hands, can get away with the full sized phone.
Best phone I've ever had hands down.
