    If you can afford it and find one, HTC.

    They are expensive, but build quality if some of the best I have experienced, partnered with performance, screen and camera quality.

Also consider the Huawei range of phones as well. I don't know, I haven't seen anything on a cellphone that made me really want the latest and greatest phone. It's not really necessary. You can get a much cheaper model, save on the device cost and get a bigger contract. I tend to remind people to not just look at the latest and greatest and get lost in it's allure. There are other alternatives
    I just need something to be able to use office or something similar as I use it often

    If you can find one : S7 Active or Xperia M4 Aqua
    The M4 Aqua? Is that even better than the OP's S5...

    I ended up going with the Sony xperia xz, the 64gb version.
    A lot of phones have actually been discontinued, I ended up going for the waterproof, space a aplenty phone ( is also R100 cheaper than what I'm currently paying for my s5)

    This! The announcement video below had me sold on the HTC 10...



    ...and I'm eager to trade up my M9 for one as soon as the local Orange Store lists them in stock again.

    Every single HTC I have owned (I have owned two) sucked. The HTC One (M8)

    It's not that the phone itself is bad - I can make and receive calls, which is fair enough - but every other element (data usage, connectivity, battery life, backup operation and effectiveness, relevance of online support to what is available on the phone, ability to transfer between other devices, performance of camera vs. "paper" specs, even durability of all but the superb Aluminium chassis - really, everything) is so far short of anything experienced on other phones
