>... FWIW my household is packed with iOS devices and my daughters swear by iOS and refuse the amazing Android devices I source out of China. I'm happy to be told the female others in the household are more sophisticated than me, but the chances of my swapping my 5" and 5.7" 1080p Android phones for iDevices, are zero.

You fly over there IAC or buy on impulse through the net or do you have small fry imports due to nearness ? Huawei is the only not-rock-bottom one sold here, and while their P6 is aesthetically nice, from raw data something like the mi2 or mi3 from xiaomi sound more interesting. Have you had such in your hands ?
