£150 best phone to buy? - General Topics

Hi all
I'm in a little bit of pickle and I don't no what to buy really.
Currently I have a nexus 4 as my main and regular phone, no problems its probs the best phone I've ever had.
I've just sold my Samsung s3 mini which I used during the day at work, it was nice and easy to handle in a rush.
I only have a fixed budget of £150 nothing over and has to have a 4 - 4.2inch screen nothing bigger, due coz when I am at work, I need to be able to handle it easily in one hand which nexus 4 is not really practical in doing.
I'm after a decent phone in spec wise and hopefully great community support, i love my nexus 4 coz of the customs roms available for it.
any suggestions or ideas will be much appreciated
Thank You

What is the best Phone..!!

Hi at all.. well i'm thinking on buy a new phone for me.. so i like read your opinons about the best phones..!! for you..!! i like buy a phone that be the latest but that have a lot of new tools.. I think that the Glaxy Note is great.. but it's important for me know about your opinion because.. your have more experience than I.. Thanks..!!
If the galaxy note is your type of device, then go for it. I personally dont like the screen size. Also, it usually wise to wait a week or two after a release to see how the developer forum for that device lights up, that way you know what kind of support to expect.
Simple answer...
The one you can afford and does what you want it to.
I am not surethat the majority of us use our phones to their greatest extent. Obviously if you need a particular thing use that as a yard stick. Personally I have a sensation - but that was down to some Ebay wizardry and selling my Iphone 4 for a good price. Im sure the desire would have been as useful except for watching streaming movies.
There is no such as "best" phone, what is best for me may not be for you.

Galaxy Note 3 or Xperia Z ultra??

Ok, so my HTC One is a big piece of crap that formally bricked itself subsequent to the battery dying during a call. This is common and complete BS if you ask me, but its where I'm at.
I'm stuck with a choice now. I am getting a new phone Saturday (tomorrow) and I have some decisions to make on it and I would appreciate some of your thoughts on it here.
I have 3 on my list I'm willing to consider, but they have to have big screens and horsepower. I'm a Network Engineering Consultant, so I'm always on the go and I need a large powerful device. With that said, my 3 choices are below and I am open to suggestions. I'm on T-Mobile:
In order of interest:
Sony Xperia Z Ultra
Galaxy Note 3
Google Nexus 5
I normally root and flash a custom ROM but when my 4 month old HTC One died from a full battery drain both HTC and T-Mobile would not help because I had rooted it and basically told me I was on my own, so I don't really care what ROMs it supports or how easy it will be to root. Thanks guys :highfive:

(Hi Justmpm)

Broke my Htc One, looking for a temporary low-budget phone

Hello,
As the title states, I broke my 1-year-old HTC One, and I'm looking to buy a new temporary low-budget smartphone. (w/o contract)
Having previously broken a relatively high number of devices from numerous brands and types (yes, i'm that clumsy), and currently not willing to splash the cash, I'm just looking for a smartphone, that can simply just run the usual apps, and that would last me at least 5-6 months until a new set of phones are released into the market.
I have a rather decent experience with android devices, so I'd prefer them over Windows phones, but anything would work.
My budget is around 150$, and I'm really unwilling to surpass 200$
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thank you

Definitely the Moto G! You can pick one up for 150 bucks or so off contract I believe. Although if you have Verizon you can only use the G with their prepaid plans.

New Upcoming Smartphones?

Does anyone know a list of all the next generation high end smartphones that will come up in the next few months?
Im starting university in october and I want to buy a smartphone that will suit my studies (computer science) . I want it to have a high end camera, fast in terms of multitasking (switching between apps fast and get the job done quickly) and maybe with stock Android L .
My current samsung s3 is laggy now..especially all those apps coming from samsung like (gallery,camera,my files etc.) I dont know if they fixed it on the newer versions like the s4 or s5. But I think I want something different this time. Dont tell me about galaxy nexus I dont like it.
So yea I want the stock apps to be fast too..
Any phone recommendations?

The Galaxy Nexus and Galaxy S3 are both old business now; you would probably have a very different experience with any flagship from 2013 or 2014, which for the most part all have more than sufficient hardware. However, if you want to wait for the latest and greatest, there will probably be word of the next Nexus sometime within the next couple months.

Would need some advice for buying an old (Or Used) Android device under 300Euros

Hey all. Thx in advance for assisting me.
Its going to be soon my 3 years with my girlfriend. My GF smartphone is done, ( Jiayu G3C ) she will need a new one really soon.
I was thinking to gift her with an old but still solid smartphone. I have currently a Galaxy S4 I9005. I´m thinking to buy her a Galaxy s5 Mini, Im not sure it is the best choice of a smartphone costing under 300Euros i´m scared its too obsolete and lacking power for Android 6.0, the smartphone can be used I don´t mind
Another concern would be if my galaxy s4 is faster (More fluid) than the s5 Mini have not a clue ( I can have for 260Euros a new S4 and 240Euros a S5Mini) . The water proof thing is cool in all but not the most important. the smartphone need to be under 5" screen and be 100% fluid fast other than that camera or sensors are just extra but not needed.
Thanks a lot if you reached here Best regards Peps
