    Hey, I had galaxy ace before, now it's broken (fell on tiles) so I need new phone. Been week without a phone. I don't need Galaxy S3 or something as much expensive. So I am looking for android phone which would be faster/better performance than galaxy ace, and preferably a bit bigger screen but not required really. Must be around 150 euro (+/- 20 euro) so say max 170 euro. I don't care new or used, any realistic suggestions? Also I don't care if it's samsung or something else as long as it's android (I am android developer)

    Check out the Huawei ascend g300.
    Got one last week new for €90 on amazon.
    Took 3 weeks to arrive though.

    Both the G300 or the Xperia J are single core 1Ghz cpus. The Ace is a 800mhz so theres very little difference between them and the ace. Slightly bigger screen and a new version of Android though. I'd suggest if you want something faster than the ace you need to get something with a Dual Core processor. I would say to get a dual core under 200 you have to go 2nd hand.

    Galaxy Ace 2 (3.8" screen and still on 2.3.6 but 4.1 expected) You get these around 130~150
    Xperia P short battery life and no MicroSD slot, but on 4.0 around 160 ish.
    Galaxy SII around 200~250.

    You could consider a windows phone, as the windows phone OS is a lot nippier than android. But you either like that or not.

    The Galaxy Ace 2 is definitely the best bang for your buck at the moment and should be easy enough to unlock.
