Recommend me a phone

E92inNC · 02-02-2016, 10:11 PM

So first let me say I'm not much of a phone guy. I use it only for basic things: talk, text, games, email,etc. Have a Galaxy S3 for about two years now and its starting to go so need a new/er phone and has to be Android.

Phones that come to my mind so far are HTC One M8/9, Galaxy S4/5/6. Not looking to get tablets cause they're too big for my taste. Looking to spend $300 or less. Phone must be less than a year old, new would be better.

Any recommendations?

Get an iPhone 5 or 5S. Should be able to get one in or around your budget. Reasonable phone, good size and looks great. Does everything you want it to do. Samsung S6 is a great phone, I had the Edge version but I doubt you can find even an used one for under $300 right now.

I can have lot more recommendations but the are all newer so probably more than $300. Unless you mean $300 with a new contract? If that's the case you could probably get the best of the best.

You can get a brand new Nexus 5x for around $300-350 off the Google play store or Amazon. Its brand new from Google, it's a Nexus so it get updates straight from them. Can't get any better in that price range for a brand new phone IMHO.

Such a 2016 thing to say... heh.

Darkfox2002 · 02-03-2016, 09:49 AM

If you want an android and you have a galaxy and liked it then why not another? The S6 is a great phone has a nice feel and look to it I love my S6 Edge but like someone else already said you probably cant find one under $300. The nexus is a solid choice too for a cheap new phone.

I heard that new blackberry is awesome!

ksa · 02-03-2016, 10:11 AM

I have the new Blackberry Priv and I love it. I typically change phones every two months as I get bored fast. Then I sometimes sell them or trade them. I have had the Blackberry since it came out and I am still using it. While sometimes I think about switching phones and getting something else, but I do not want to get rid of it as I can see myself coming back to it. If in the budget, I would definitely recommend it. Blackberry, Android device with a slide out keyboard...what else could one ask for. Haha.

E92inNC · 02-03-2016, 02:15 PM

I had the 4s about a month when it first came out and hated it and stayed away from iPhones ever since. My friend had the S5 and tells me that its garbage so I probably won't be getting that.

Will be at the mall sometime this week so I'l definitely stop by the Tmobile store and ask about the Nexus 5X, S6 and HTC One. I don't want to spend too much for a phone cuz t's just a phone but I'm planning on keeping it at least a year or two so I don't mind shelling out more if I really like it.

Thanks for the response.

Since you like Android I would highly recommend the Samsung Galaxy S6. It's a beautiful and very functional phone. It feels great in the hand and does everything you need it to do.

However, I think they might be hard to find within $300 or less.

You won't regret spending more to get it though. It serves its purpose well.

Oneplus X. I just got it and love it. Barely any bloatware on the phone unlike HTCs, Samsungs, etc.
