What's the go to high spec/low price Android phone these days

splendid101

Hi,

I remember a couple of years ago on this forum a lot of people seemed to rate a Huawei model very highly as it seemed to be good value for money.

I know a couple of people currently using Motorolas. Not sure of the models but I'm hearing good things about the brand in general.

I'm currently using a (now broken) S2. If I could get above that spec for low money I'd be happy. Might be possible as it is three + years old.

Alternatively, any sources for an S5 or even an S4 for under €200?

Assistance appreciated.

Cheapest hi specd phone is the Nexus 5.
Cheapest mid specd phone is the Moto G.

Both are outstanding value for money when compared to similar phones in their category

I have Nexus 5 and find it to be a great phone. Price rumoured to be falling shortly making it it even better value for money. I got mine on Amazon UK for £270 a few months ago, see that it's now £260.

Reason I bought the Nexus is that I always get the latest Android update first. I had the original Galaxy Note on Vodafone and we waited on average 1 year to get an update which was a pain. I'm now on Android 4.4.4 for the past few weeks with my Nexus 5. Many complain about battery life, thankfully I don't have any problem getting usually a couple of days from a charge.

Moto g is a very decent phone for the price. Android 4.4.4 has been available for about a week now.
