[Q] best affordable phone to buy

Guys i just want to ask what phone is the best to buy ranging from $100-$200 in the US during the thanksgiving sale. Are the phones worth $300+ will go below $200 during the sale? I prefer android or windows phone. Hope someone can advice me. Im from asia and i will just ask my uncle to buy a good phone for me with a sale value.

1. You need some with future telling ability to which phones are on the USD100-200 or drop to those price range during thanksgiving special sale.
2. I recommend to get an HTC Desire or Samsung Galaxy S for best phones with best value. (sorry no WP7 phone recommendation from me , cause I do not like any of them at the moment)

What's a cheap Android tablet to buy a two year old?

My son wants a tablet so he can be like daddy. I have a Surface but I figure anything he can play games on and draw on will suffice. I don't want to spend an unbelievable amount on it and would like to go cheap since odds are he'll destroy it. What is the cheapest tablet on the market with at least a 1 gHz processor?

I wouldn't buy a two year old a tablet! Buy him a drawing board and toys!

[Q] Is the mid range Android phone dead?

I was shopping for a phone for my son the other day. He is only young so I wanted a mid range/budget Android phone.
The best I was offered was a Samsung Ace II still stranded on Gingerbread and it left me thinking - Has the current desire for ultra powerful octa-core 5" mega phones left companies ignoring their mid range offerings?
Maybe its my lack of knowledge but I struggle to find anything on a £15 - £20 p/m contract that I would recommend to anyone to keep for *two years*.
With a lot of other tech you get trickle down, with last years top or the range features becoming next years mid range, and often hardware stays viable for two or three years. I think you'd be pushed to find many phones with upgrade support after two years?
I'd love to hear peoples thoughts...

nexus 4 is the right device you need

Try HTC One S

+1 for the Nexus 4...

The Nexus 4 is a great phone, in fact that's what I have myself, but you can't get it on a contract (easily) leaving you with either shelling out the full amount or going choices like the Ace 2 which manufacturers just don't seem to care to care about.
In fact I ended up getting him an HTC 8s on a £15 pm contract. I was more wondering if in general people thought that manufacturers seem to have abandoned this section of the market.

I Need A New Phone

After accidentally destroying my old phone I now need a replacement. I've found many on Amazon but all from abroad which I'm not too keen with. What phones would you recommend which I can get in the UK? I would like octa-core processor and around 5.5 inch screen and my budget is 150 quid. I would also like fingerprint scanner but this is not a priority.
Thanks in advance,
Dan.

Which Phone Should I Buy?

I'm in the market for a new phone as my K20 Plus charging port is jacked and the phone is becoming unreliable. I have had my eye on the LG Q7+ for the last couple months and now that I was about to buy it I'm looking at other phones in it's price range, particularly the Moto G6 Play Amazon Prime Exclusive. I am with Metro so I'd have to buy the LG outright for $299, and the Moto is also $299 on Amazon. Both phones have quite comparable specs, and unfortunately neither one is bootloader unlockable I was wondering if anyone could say if either of them had a chance at root in the future, and overall which would be a better value. I'm also open to other phone recommendations on the price range, however I stay away from brands like Huawei and ZTE no matter the bells and whistles.
Edit: now I'm also looking at the Samsung Galaxy A6+. Same price on Amazon and it has a 6" Super AMOLED screen and a 24MP front camera (which I imagine has some sort of serious shortfall).
