Which smartphone should I get?

Hello there, I have been confused as which smartphone I should be getting.

I'm definitely looking for high-end specs because I won't be replacing it soon, because I'm the kind of person who-sticks-to-one-until-it-lasts.

Screen size, I'm leaning towards phablet size, something 5" to 6". I read on the web most of the time.

Camera, just anything that doesn't produce much noise, good at low-light and 30fps video recording capable.

Battery, I want it to last for a long time, perhaps in moderate use I would charge it the next day. I use Wi-Fi most of the time.

Price, anything that is not close to Apple's, but I may consider.

My choices were: Sony Xperia Z3, Sony Xperia Z4, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Samsung Galaxy Mega 2, Motorola Droid Turbo, Motorola Nexus 6, LG G3/LG G Pro 2 successor, Lenovo Vibe Z2 Pro.

As of now, I am really left with the Sony Xperia Z2 and Samsung Galaxy Note 3 because of the price drop and satisfying specs. I chose the Z2 because it is a jack-of-all-trades, amazing design and is waterproof. I chose the Note 3 because it has a great large screen, executive-looking design. To be honest, I am not fond of Apple, HTC and Nokia Lumia.

I hope you can help me choose which is which and I can wait longer for newer phones, though I can only buy them with slashed-prices or 6 months after.
