thanks Lagamorph. Now I will be on some sort of watch list
We are working with relevant regulatory bodies to investigate the recently reported cases involving the Galaxy Note7. Because consumers’ safety remains our top priority, Samsung will ask all carrier and retail partners globally to stop sales and exchanges of the Galaxy Note7 while the investigation is taking place.
We remain committed to working diligently with appropriate regulatory authorities to take all necessary steps to resolve the situation. Consumers with either an original Galaxy Note7 or replacement Galaxy Note7 device should power down and stop using the device and take advantage of the remedies available.

But they're all 5.5 inches! What happened to non-phablet phones?

Unfortunately design seems to not be much of a factor with most handsets these days, I like a device to be unique and not just a black slab.
Looking at the Moto Z at the moment, I like the customization options in terms of adding colour and the battery pack would be really useful. Also (close to) stock Android would obviously be a bonus too. Any thoughts?
When Motorola where owned by Google I would say go for it, now they are owned by Lenovo I would be careful, I just don't trust that company to do a good job with updates.
It is slightly older but the LG G4 is a cracking device and has customisation options with the various leather backs and design wise is a bit different.

The LG G4 has a known issue with the hardware messing up causing the phone to get stuck in a permanent boot loop, I was looking at that one myself but put off by the fact that if it breaks after the 1 year standard manufacturer warranty you are basically stuck with a broken phone.

Personally it doesn't look worth the money. It isn't mega mega spec compared to other devices that are cheaper, it is Google making it expensive because it's by Google so they can.
