Hello,
Well I don't know much about phones and these things but I'm thinking on buying a new cell phone (no contract).
I've seen two models which I thing that are good: Huawei ascend g300 (which is about 206$) and ZTE v906 (which is about 200$)
My budget is 200-240$ I would like to get the best phone I can with this budget (without contract). So hich phone would you reccommend me one of the ones I said above or another one?
Thank you ^^

From experience I can tell you most but not all of the Chinese knockoffs are heavier and not as good build quality. Also I have always had problems with their capacitive touch screens. Call quality is decent depending on the phone, And it will be real android but good luck finding any dev support for it. Not trying to tell you which to get just trying to give you the facts of my personal experience.
w8 for these type of phones from china

The Samsung "R" is considered a cheaper version of the S2. It is probably better to get a used S2. The Magic was released two years ago, so a used Galaxy S or S2 would be a better idea. The "R" also has a bigger screen.
China phones are known to be cheaper in quality. Your money, so far, is used better elsewhere. Good luck !
i dont want to spent a lot of money for a smartphone so it will be a cheap normal phone or a china phone.
Could someone tell me more about the performance of china phones?
yours sincerely
ps: thanks so far for your replys
Many of the world's mobile phones are manufactured in China, quality is good, if it is China's domestic mobile phone is more limited, but the quality of foreign trade and price are guaranteed
You need to look for phones that have these names: Lenovo, Zopo, THL, ZTE, Meizu, and Huawei. They have good quality. Check out this site for some of the phone models mentioned and some reviews of China phones: China Phone Review
"Air Phone" vs "iPhone"
I wouldn't be in a hurry to buy one.
I cannot supply the following URL as I am a junior menmber; and very annoyingly I am NOT even allowed to thank people... (serioulsy)
"Youtube" then type the following "/watch?v=TUT39op2Pp8"
I did consider getting the "Air Phone 4" (See above) fortunately this review saved me the money. I'd be looking for a secondhand UK Android smartphone.
That said it is usually the data that is the expensive part; so I would be more concerned by the tarriff.
(HTC Rooted Sensation - ICS - Very happy with the HTC - I wouldn't now buy the iphone by choice)

Just followed your link - your chosen phone was £105.
According to Play.com (i'm sure they can be beaten on price)
HTC Explorer £100
HTC Wildfire £150
I would rather have an HTC rather than a random cheap deal.
For the best deal you do need to factor in calls/data/texts, say over 24 months usage.
I dont know about a phone, but I got my tablet from there and have had zero issues with it. Got the Novo 7 Aurora and I love it.
Hello,
I've had my fun with the old Blade, then G300, then Desire S, then Desire HD and last January I purchased a One X+ from Vodafone.
Unfortunately this last purchase was of poor planning. Within weeks of buying this "latest" phone HTC decided the phone was old hat and out comes the M7 (One). I was really miffed about this, Vodafone dropped the phone from their sales within weeks of launching it too. Bit shi**y of HTC if you ask me but that's life I guess and the world of mobile manufacturers.
The phone is unlocked and rooted and there is a limited amount of dev work going on for this phone on xda (those few do a great job), but the phone has pretty much come to the end. Sense 5 has filtered out for the phone slowly, but I can't see HTC supporting it any longer. I really expected to enjoy this phone more than a few months!!!
I might sell it, it seems the resale value is still pretty good and I could easily purchase a Nexus 4 or other dev friendly phone and still have some change left over.
That being said, can anyone recommend a phone for £100 or under, decent size screen, decent specs and above all is dev friendly (plenty roms, active community, easily unlocked/rooted)?
I'm in the UK and use the GiffGaff/O2 network, so it would need to be unlocked/network free. Apologies if this is posted in the wrong forum. I was unsure where else to ask.
Thanks.
Have a look at the xperia m just got one and very happy with it good specs for the price, mine came in at 200 euro off contract.

If you want a really new one even if it doesn't have the best specs you can get the moto e, but if you want a really solid phone that isn't exactly supported by google but is capable of a ton for ~$100 then the galaxy nexus is a great phone and you can get them new for about that price unlocked.

I live in India and i am planing to buy a new smart phone within a week or two . my budget is 22,000 Rs = 350$ . The current issue is i am really confused in two ways .
The first one is choosing between two phones i initially thought about buying Asus ZenFone 2 ZE551ML but then going through all the review stuff and comparisons i had another phone in my mind " OnePlus One 64GB" .
Then i decided to go for OnePlus One 64GB variant. so then the second glitch appeared ,
When i come to know about the upcoming cool smartphones in June . i was really confused i another way weather its going to be worth buying this phone now or wait for another two months and see those upcoming phone are worth waiting . So please help me to decide weather to buy a smartphone now or wait for another two months

Hello ladies and gentlemen,
I'm switching from my Sony Z3 Compact to something a bit more new, and I was looking for your advices, not only on the model as such, but on the different price tags I can have.
My service provider (SFR in France) proposes the Galaxy S8+ at 392€ (450$) or the Xperia XZ Premium at 193€ (219$) all included (no more charges on the subscription or whatsoever).
However I'm a really huge fan of the One Plus new flagships (3T and 5) but they don't have it.
In my country, reminder, the 3T is at 380€ (64go) or 420€ (128go) (both respectively 433$ and 480$)
and the 5 is at 440€ (6go RAM 64go) or 520€ (8go RAM 128go) (both respectively at 500$ and 590$)
So basically (+tl;dr) is my beloved One Plus 5 worth the extra 130€ compared to the S8+ ?
Or is my beloved One Plus 3T worth the extra 30€ compared to the S8+ ?
Or should I settle to the Galaxy S8+ even if it's not my brand nor predilection model ?
Thanks a lot for your future answers !
On the question "why am I such a fan of One Plus ?" well I like their OS, their batteries and camera, and on top of all their design and the brand's image and trust I have in them !
Thanks again !
