go for a used S2
u can try haipai noble i9220, powerful cpu with bigger screen :silly:
In my opinion :
- motoluxe of motorola
- xperia neo V
- galaxy s1 (if you still find it)
I have an Alcatel One Touch Ultra 995. Which is cheaper than 200,- :victory:
With such a nice budget I'd go for a Samsung S2. Actually, given that you're on XDA, I assume that you plan on modding it so I'd just get the one with multi-core CPU and the most RAM.

Galaxy s
It would be perfect if you could find Galaxy S or S plus. It woulb be a perfect choice which a lot of oppurtunities for development especially i9000. I9001 is stronger and faster than i9001..
I just bought myself a Motorola Milestone 2 and I'm not regretting it.
I've read a lot about it and people's recommendation is to get the QWERTY version if possible as the keyboard is supposed to be better.
How about £67
Huawei G300 Ascend Smartphone - £102.95 to £72.95 with credit acct, down to possible £67.01 (incl cashback) Delivered @ isme.com (Hotdeals website)
Bought one myself - luvvin it -
Think you'll have to pay more than £200 to match this spec (GSM Arena website)

You don't want this. Buy a brand name Android phone.
iPhone clone Android are really dumb, because think about it: Android has home, menu (not really on ICS anymore), back, search (again, not on ICS). But the iPhone clones have a single button. So how will you navigate with that single button when you AT LEAST need back and home?

so this phone not worth ?????
The goophone i5 has a Single Hardware Button wich is mapped with the menukey function. But there are onscreen softbuttons too. So there will be no Problem in Navigation.
The specs of the i5 Sounds good for me, But i haven't test it for myself

Makes it even worse. Why have a single hardware button, along with onscreen keys, when they could just add the menu button into the navigation bar (like AOKP)? It would look awful.
@OP The phone will probably be stuck with its original firmware forever, and most market apps will list the phone as "incompatible." For its price, which I think is upper $200s or even $300+, it would be a better idea to buy a Galaxy Nexus once its price drops, or even a used S2/Gnex

230 euros = $296
At any rate, it is trying to copy the iPhone 5 so it will attain its unique resolution of 1136x640, thus making pretty much any app unsupported
Also, it's tegra 3. Good, but incredibly overrated. The Snapdragon S4 dual core is on par with tegra 3

Doubts about goophone.
Hello,
I've this phone (Goophone I5) and the goophone y5 (iphone 4s clone).
In this post i'll do a review of both.
Goophone Y5
Unboxing:
Brings earphones, iphone data cable and charger. Even the manual is the same as iphone 4s.
Look:
Looks exactly the same as iphone 4s. It has the same aluminium structure, back case in glass and retina display with 960x640 pixels as the original iphone.
It came with a micro sim slot as the iphone 4s. So, you must cut your regular sim card to fit on this phone as you do with the real one.
OS Look
It looks exactly the same as iphone 4s. It comes with an default launcher that is 99,99% the same as the iphone 4s.
All the S.O was edited to look as the iphone 4s. And to be honest i'm really impressed with their work. It's very well made.
Performance:
This is a very good phone. It is fast, it runs all the most played games with no lag at all. I was expecting it to be some kind of slow and laggy, but it isn't. It does it job very well.
But you must take a point in consideration. This is an android based software, so it will not be as fast as an iOS phone. iOS is made in objective C and android is java based. so.. iOS is faster than any android based cellphone.
Camera
It has an 5.0 MP Camera with flash. The quality is good when you take pictures at day light. Night pictures aren't that good...but as any phone you get more quality with day pictures than night.
The video recording is good. The format is 3GP but is ok. The camera recording is fast and its quite reliable.
Overview
For that people who love android (like me) i recommend you to buy this phone. It's so similar, than if you have a real iphone 4s you can replace some parts from the goophone y5 (Screen and Battery).
I got mine from thecheapchoice.com
Here is the link: http://www.thecheapchoice.com/en/smartphones/13-goophone-y5-.html
The price is around $200 USD. But it worth every penny.
I bought mine from here. They have 3 options of shipping.
- Free shipping (15 -30 days).
- Registered air mail (Tracking code: 10 - 20 days )
- DHL, EMS, Fedex (5 - 10 Days)
Payment:
They only accept Paypal. But is okay! This way you have your order secured. If you don't get it in 45 days you can ask the refund.
This website is reliable, they don't lie to you, you get what you buy and their service is also good.
Goophone I5 Lite
Unboxing
Brings earphones, iphone data cable and charger.
Look
Looks exactly the same as iphone 5. It has the same aluminium structure with only 7.6mm , back case as the iphone 5 and display with 960*540 pixels (not retina display) but it has good quality. It is very very similar to retina display, you won't see the difference.
It came with a micro sim slot as the iphone 5. So, you must cut your regular sim card to fit on this phone as you do with the real one.
OS Look
It looks exactly the same as iphone 5. It comes with an default launcher that is 99,99% the same as the iphone 5. I think that the company took the launcher from the goophone y5 and just improved it.
All the S.O was edited to look as the iphone 5. It's more iphone like than the Y5
Performance
It is really fast. It brings a dual core processor and 1GB ram so you will notice that every move you make on it will be fast.
Camera
It has an 8.0 MP Camera with flash. The quality is good.
The video recording is also good.
Overview
The phone is good, is well made, good touch screen and it's fast. And the most important thing: It is ANDROID based. It's not heavy so it don't look like a brick in your pocket.
If i recommend it? Of course. Instead of paying more than $600 USD for a iphone 5 i can have this one for more than half a price, with the same look and with a good performance.

For the ones who say that chinese phones don't worth it, it's because you don't know how things are. China is currently the biggest smartphones productor of the globe.
There are hundreds of different phones, brands and models. So before buying one, you must search a lot until you find the correct one.
Some phones are exactly the same apparently, but then there are many brands making it..so, inside chinese clones are clones of clones..
Before buying a Goophone I5 or another Goophone, try to look for genuine ones and not clones like thunderbird, etc.
On that website, they only sell genuine Goohphone's. So if you want to buy one i think is the right place to go.
I hope i helped you out.

Hey members of XDA,
I wanted your help in buying me a phone. I'm currently using my nexus prime and xperia mini. So, i want to replace mini with a phone within 300$ or about Rs. 16k. Helps would be appreciated :victory:
At that price the best you“ll find here in India is the Galaxy Nexus that too only via unofficial sources.
You can also have a look at Optimus L9 or Samsung Galaxy S Advance.
Or an atrix2 by motorola. ( I'm not sure if it's still available). If you are into the custom kernel and stuff, ignore this. It's completely locked. But development is going on with same stock KERNEL.

I Was suggesting him according to his budget.
We don't have contracts here in India, so we pay full money like you would of you bought an unlocked version.
And s4 would cost nothing less than 35k INR (700$).

I do believe the Nexus Prime was the Galaxy Nexus before the official announcement.
For 300 dollars you could probably get something like a Galaxy S2 or a HTC sensation

Well i don't want another nexus as i have a prime. So, earlier when i was on low budget i thought about going for xperia j or sola or HTC sesire X. But now as i have an increased budget i was looking for the xperia s or the sl. Galaxy s2 is a bit outdated ( no offense ) And as for s3 it's quiet expensive for my budget ( being around 30k ) and as for s4 it's gonna be around 35k-40k. Which is an outrageous amount for a 10th standard student like me :crying:
Thanks for the replies :good:
Go for a Xiaomi Mi2.

With 300$, I think you should buy Xperia S
Arc S for sure
Arc s isn't getting a jb update whereas xperia s is. So i might go for s or p!

1) Jelly Bean update!! The most important thing! I'm so annoyed by flashing JB roms on my current devices. So many bugs but still developers are working hard on these roms.
2) Camera. I need a camera capable of doing Full HD recording.
3) GPU to play games like RR3, MC4 or Nova 3.
4) Battery Backup. I currently last about 9-10 Hours with the way i use my device. I'm constantly on whatsapp and Kik!
5) Screen size is not an issue but above 3.5 inches.
Thanks for the replies

Hi all, would appreciate if anyone can give me recommendations for a dual sim android phone.
Here are the main things I care about, more or less in order of importance:
1. Great battery life (or ok battery life with removable battery and spare battery readily available to buy)
2. Powerful/fast - lots of memory, fast processor, preferably up-to-date android OS
3. Pre-loaded with android play store and upgradeable (if I understand correctly some of the Chinese dual sim phones have issues here)
4. Decent camera & resolution
That's about it, not asking for much then
I care less about weight, thickness, screen size (although less than 4" would be a pain), funky features & bloatware etc.
I've looked at a few choices like samsung galaxy grand 2, huawei g700, htc one dual sim, but reviews seem mixed and most seem to do badly in one or more of the above.
My only experience with dual sim was the samsung galaxy grand 1, and I didn't like it because I thought the battery life was pretty bad, underpowered and screen quality surprisingly awful.
If you know of any phones that fit the bill or you're using one that you think would be good please let me know.
Thanks!
Hmm, maybe what I'm after doesn't exist.
If anyone is using a dual sim android phone please let me know your experience so I can make some choice.
Anyone using the samsung grand 2? If that's like the one with better battery life and runs smoothly might go for that
The Best SmartFone available in Its Range is Gionee Elife E6.
You can have a try at that..!
Thanks, I'll check it out

You could consider galaxy S5, or S4, or HTC Desire 816, I wouldn't recommend a no name brand even thought it might seem a deal price - specifications, notice how all got 4.2.2 Android and will probably stay that way for good, too many compromises, I know from experience..
Purchase the Videocon A24... Thats a superb phone for you.. And also for me

I said mx5 PRO... not just mx5 ... also consider the oneplus two. Its cheap model with high end specs. Asus zenfone 2 another one.
S6 is an awesome phone and software wise will get better! Yes 32gb is low-ish but it's perfect for me though as I have the luxury of my music on about old iPhone!
Take a look at an S6 up close and see if you like what you see but if storage is an issue as a previous poster mentioned the one plus 2 is supposed to be good. My line manager is eying that one up next with a sim only deal ?
