What new phone to get?

I can upgrade my phone and I was wondering what new smartphone I should get..I'm thinking android. My options are..Nokia lumia 1020, Samsung galxy s4 mini, samsung galaxy 3 mini, sony xperia # 153 z1, samsung galaxy s3, blackberry Q5, Moto x, motorolla RAZR hd lite, windows phone 8x HTC,Sony xperia SP, Google Nexus 5, blackberry Q 10, Samsung galaxy s4, blackberry Z10, HTC one and HTC one mini.

I'm looking for a few things in my future phone: for it not to be much bigger than an iphone 5, good battery life, good music player, good texting capabilities, good wifi capabilities
Thanks

edit: so far I'm thinking HTC one

stay away from blackberry cause trust me the phone will piss you off after a few lol... I'm in the same boat as you and I'm hearing great reviews about the Nokia Lumia 1520; also if it's of any interest to you the galaxy S5 comes out in april....kinda leaning towards that myself

@Ferragamo: I don't own it so I can't tell if the battery is good or not.

I think you'd like the HTC One.

I wouldn't go Samsung honestly. They make cheap products. I would avoid Windows if you're looking for a good typing experience since Windows has a very basic keyboard. The only other phone I would consider would be the Nexus 5 since it's a good phone for the price. I haven't heard many great things about BlackBerry OS and have heard it still feels very businesses oriented.

My personal preference is an iPhone 5 since jailbreaking allows for an open platform, it's a solid design/decent hardware, and iMessage.
Out of your options though, I would suggest the HTC One since it's a good phone with solid construction, good speakers from their boom speakers (just make sure to switch from the stock music app), and android will allow you to switch between good keyboards like Swipe.

Sony Xperia or Nokia Lumia [b]1520[/b]. They are the best phones in term of design and camera, with a lot of other features. Go look it up.

Not to be rude, but get a old modern flip phone.
That way, it won't get stolen or made a big deal once you lose it.

don't do it, don't take the upgrade and get stuck in a new contract

Sony Xperia SP
- Not much bigger than the iPhone just by a few inches and you'll get used to it quickly.
- Battery is alright.
- WALKMAN is best music player but that's just my opinion I don't know about you.
- It's more comfortable typing on a big screen than on a small one.
- Yes.

or

Sony Xperia M
- Same size as the iPhone.
- Battery is alright.
- WALKMAN.
- Yes.
- Yes.

Do you want top tier specs or great user experience? (Nexus 5 vs Moto X)

Many of my friends have Google Nexus phones and they seem to be much better than Galaxies. Many cool updates and features on it with text messaging and camera and stuffss.
