I Need A New Phone - Android General

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.

If my price is too high let me know. I'm open to offers.
How about $425.00 or best offer?
Maybe better luck on eBay?
still availble
Still available, but going up on eBay soon. Any takers?
Considering we all probably have Touch Cruises, either eBay or the Artemis forum might be better posting options.

...and for a used one, you're going to have to go down quite a bit. With each new Touch model that comes out, the price of the Cruise continues to plummet -- brand new ones are available for your starting price: $499 at SmartMobileGadgets...
Good luck!
are you crazy?I at least get a new one with$450
Here you can buy a new one with garanty from €456,-

I would better buy brand new Diamond for 573€ then this, its not too much difference.
I'd guess those of us who purchased a Cruise might just as well keep it, unless we're willing to part with it for a couple hundred US dollars; though, even that is likely to go down as the market becomes flooded with new stuff.
Well I sold it, got 410 dollars. I appreciate all of the helpful comments.

[Q] Dev help!! Kyocera Hydro Life Metro PCS

Sorry poll should read samsung galaxy light not simple. Can't edit the poll.
I have a Kyocera Hydro Life off of Metro PCS network. I have found rooting guides but nothing on ROM or kernel development. I know this is not a high end phone but for the cost it is pretty nice. Since this phone ships with a jelly bean build and likely no updates the developer community could fill in a serious gap left by the manufacturer and Metro PCS. I know the locked boot loader is a problem but surely it can be overcome. Development on this phone could really make an inexpensive model like this shine. Sure it is easy to make a top of the line phone run great but to make a truly affordable phone with good hardware is not. Please help those like myself that simply can't afford anything else but still desire decent hardware and software. Any help on developing a custom recovery, kernel and ROM on the Kyocera Hydro Life on Metro PCS network would be highly appreciated. Thanks Rob!
Specs are snapdragon 200 1.2 GHz processor quad core. Adreno 305 graphics. 1.5 GB ram. 8 GB ROM. Micro SD expansion, qHD 4.5 inch screen. High capacity removable LI ion battery, mil spec and water resistant spec as well. Cost varies depending on if you buy a locked model and sales. I paid $29.99 plus tax and no other fees other than first month service. I think about $32 for the phone and I bought a case for $5 so for $37 I have a fairly responsive yet completely crippled phone. My hope in this thread is to raise interest in these budget smart phones because they really offer tremendous value for anyone even as a back up phone. Developer support would truly unlock the potential in these budget phones which is good for everyone!!
Kyocera Hydro Life Android Devolopment????
I am hoping that someone can either help point me in the right direction or maybe just keep posting until I get a response? Not really sure how to help facilitate the start of Android Development on the Kyocera Hydro Life. I would as a sub note also like to see maybe a forum dedicated to budget smartphones. I think with the cost of components going down we are finally getting to a point where a mid to budget smartphone does not have to be a terrible experience. With the realization that these phones work well and the low cost I believe they will become more popular. Before models like this the rom space was too limited, the ram was too limited and the mostly dual core processors were too weak. Now with this model costing $29-$49 through a carrier and $125 outright you get specs decent enough to have a good experience and do not need to finance a phone!! I think this is just the start so XDA might as well have a forum dedicated to budget smartphones but for now would be really happy with this Kyocera Hydro Life. Any help on how to get this started??
Thanks Rob
Think someone figured out how to get it to lollipop
Because I'm a new user on this forum I cant post so if someone can pm me I'll give you the link an let you Post it
It's for the hydro life. So ya someone pm me.

$300 AUD with high root support?

I'm looking for a phone with a $300 AUD budget with a high root support and high battery capacity, which one should I go with? The samsung galaxy s4 seems convincing.

Budget (~€239/$199/£189) phone to replace stolen handset?

@MOD Posting here specifically instead of the OnePlus X forum, as I am looking for unbiased advice from the community - please do not move this thread to a forum for a specific handset.
My OnePlus X was stolen by a taxi driver about 5 weeks ago, and I have exhausted every avenue of recovering it, Android Device history, the Police, etc. I know this is not a flagship device, but is probably the best handset I have owned, and absolutely adored it, not least because of the build quality, premium feel, and responsiveness.
I looked through the completed listings on eBay using a third party website, and from those set myself a maximum price I was prepared to pay, that I would feel I had gotten a good deal from after sniping. It would take a bit longer than replacing the OPX outright, but paying less would at least take some of the sting out of paying for the phone twice!
The main appeal of the OPX to was that although it was not quite as good as a flagship, in my eyes it almost was, and for much, much less expense. 'Best bang for buck' if you will'. I like hardware that falls into this category.
Since then, I have discovered the Moto G4 Plus. It seems to beat the OPX on every front, apart from having an IPS display rather than AMOLED, and what I have read is a slightly less powerful processor - but with the added benefits of 4 cores and fast charging.
GSM Arena comparison of both handsets
Is the Moto G4 Plus the way to go here, and if so any particular version to make sure I order?
Amazon UK have it here:
Motorola Moto G4 Plus 16GB SIM-Free Smartphone - Black (Single SIM) - (Exclusive to Amazon)
Dual SIM would be handy for my work number, but it seems they only have it for that price dual sim in white? Handy, but not at the price of a white phone which I hate, like my work iPhone!
Again, please do not move this thread to Moto G4 or OPX forum, as I would like independent advice - perhaps there is another handset I should be considering?
Anyone on this?
