Nexus 4, still best choice under $300? - General Topics

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.

Used Nexus S or new Phone

I'm interested in jumping from my current contract to a prepaid phone. I'd like to stick with a phone with an unlockable bootloader and something under $350. I'm interested in getting a used Nexus S. Would this be a good investment? Should I go with a Galaxy Nexus? I've heard about issues with the Nexus S and battery life.

What is the best, Nexus 4 16g or Lg Optimus G ?

I wanna buy a new phone and I can't decide which one. Can you guys help me ?
I would go with the nexus 4 all day - It runs smoothly, has gotten all the recent android updates, has a lot of ROM support and is all around a great phone. Unless you need LTE or a great camera, then this phone is for you. Although to be fair the Nexus 4 has a decent camera and fast data speeds.

HTC One (M7) vs Nexus 5?

Well I am going to buy a new phone soon, and I can't decide between these 2. HTC One have the better look, but specs seem a bit worse than Nexus 5 and I don't know if it will recieve the newest updates like Nexus 5... I want the phone to be kind of future proof - getting the latest Android updates for some time, and I want it to be fast, stable and have good camera. Could anyone make a comparison, or post experience with either of the phones? Which one would you choose?
P.S I created a thread in "hardware hacking" with same name, I've seen only hardware so I've thought it is the forum about hardware, a good place to compare phones... here is the link, so mods delete it please http://forum.xda-developers.com/hardware-hacking/hardware/htc-one-m7-vs-nexus-5-t2828636
Comparisons aren't allowed and how would most of us know what the m7 is like? Please read reviews and make up your own mind. You're going to get biased answers here..
"which one would you choose?"
Haven't we already chosen???

I asked here because, I've already seen a thread in Nexus 5 forum where people talked about these 2 phones, but that was before Nexus 5 was even released...

Well everyone here chose the nexus 5 so 99.5 % of us will tell you thats the one to get. It isn't helpful to you. You just have to make your mind up yourself. No one here can tell you which phone is best for you. We can only tell you what's best for us but because you posted in the nexus 5 forum, you already know what's best for us - so it renders your thread pretty useless.
I'm hoping it gets locked soon. There are too many threads from people asking this same question. Nexus 5 versus phone x. Its ALWAYS the same answer so what's the point?

Ask in the Nexus 5 forum = "buy the Nexus 5"
Ask in the HTC One (M7) forum = "buy the M7"
As mentioned we do not allow comparison threads on XDA be it ROMs, Kernels or devices the question is subjective and as mentioned above depending on where you ask the question you are going to get different answers.

[Q] Best rom friendly Smartphone under $200?

Hey guys, im currently using an HTC One m8, but im thinking about getting a secondary device to thinker with, i want to spend around $200 USD
i mainly be using this phone to try out roms and use my secondary sim card, i was looking to get a Xiaomi Mi3, but it seems to be a little more expensive here in the US, i was also considering getting a used Nexus 4, what do you guys think would be a good option?
I'm using a nexus 4, and a used nexus 4 would be great for tinkering, it is a fantastic device. Lots of ROMS and great support from the developer community.

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
