[Q] Which is a better deal?

I currently have an opportunity to buy either an HTC One X for $50, a Samsung GS3 for $50, or a Samsung GS2 SkyRocket for $10.....Which would be the better choice? I am constantly flashing ROMs. I have also used Samsung devices a lot more than HTC, but that's not to say that I would be opposed to getting either one. I just need some advice, I'm pretty torn here. Please Help!:fingers-crossed:

Nexus 4, still best choice under $300?

Just that, I need to buy a new cellphone for my wife and I think the best choice for an unlocked android device under $300 is Nexus 4, right?
Thanks in advance for the advice.
Edit: BTW no stock...

Absolutely, Nexus 4 is still a great phone.

Except that it's completely sold out now in the US, with no plans to restock. Time to wait for the next Nexus (hopefully) next month.

Best VZW Option?

So my GNex is getting long in the tooth and I'm thinking on a new phone. I am grandfathered into VZW unlimited data and run the house off of it to the tune of around 50gb/mo. I was looking at the Galaxy S4 (I do like Samsung) but it seems pretty darn locked down in regards to being able to run custom ROMS on. Any input on what else I might consider? Obviously to keep my current plan, I'll be buying my next phone on the open market ...

Does a new 2015 phone outlive a new 2014 (or older) one?

Hello XDA!
My faithful Galaxy Nexus is finally showing its age and is starting to malfunction, so it's time to look for a new one - and I'm continuing with the Nexus family. I can afford a new Nexus 5X or a new Nexus 6, and I'm leaning towards the Motorola, but I am worried that the LG is a better choice in the long run.
To make it clear, I don't care for the latest Android. I know the 6 will stop getting updates before the 5X does, but there are always custom ROMs. My question is whether the 6 will start having technical problems (signal issues, battery death, camera & OS issues - like my Galaxy Nexus has) before the 6 would, considering both of them are mint condition. Does the phone stay in "cryogenic mode" until it's used by someone, or is there some sort of "planned obsolescence" that will make older phones fail sooner than new ones?
Thank you!
P.S.: If it is off-topic/forbidden, please ignore this. If you prefer the 5X to the 6 due other reasons than being newer, please let me know why. I'm not 100% sure which one to get. AND, the Nexus 6P is out of budget.

Which phone is worth buying right now?

I am honestly leaning towards Iphone SE because it's new but the screen size is killing me. I then thought about buying Iphone 6s but i think i can get 7 which i hope will be much better than 6s in few months. I am trying to avoid samsung at the moment. What is there for me in the market you guys?

I would go for HTC 10
I have HTC m8 and it still is fast as hell
I sometimes even prefer it over Samsung s6 edge
Now my primary device is Nexus 6p which is awesome and love it more than iPhone 6 which I ditched for Nexus
