    Been an apple user last few years.
    Want to try an android.
    I want a good quality pre pay android for around 200 euro.
    Must be robust, don't want Chinese, needs a good camera and able to take a decent amount of memory.
    Had a look around the shops and more confused!
    Samsung a3 Samsung j5 (I think) galaxy core prime and Vodafone ultra smart 6 were all on around that price.
    Any obvious omissions/recommendations be great.
    Would like 5.0" screen too seems good size.
    Marty.

    5 inch probably a moto g although I heard the camera is poor
    You have a better choice with 5.5 then I would recommend the Huawei G7

    Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 is hard to beat. Very pleased with mine.

    Just a random comment if I may:

    At that price point you should keep your expectations in check as your not really compering Apples to erm well Apples there. Apple don't do a 200 Euro offering so what you get from Android at that price point wont be fully representative or directly comparable. However will give you a feel for what Andriod can offer you and I hope it's a positive one at that.

    If I was to offer a phone near that price point I would suggest you stretch your cash a little more and pick up a Oneplus x or something. (around 269) https://oneplus.net/ie/x

    Good point in fairness...and your right im not expecting "new Iphone" competition...but my current iphone is iphone4 that i have 5/6 years and im hoping it would be a upgrade from that.
    Ill check out that one plus.
    Cheers,
    Marty.

    I second the Moto G 3rd gen. Fantastic phone, good value for money. My wife has one and the camera is actually excellent.

    I second the G7 , have one almost two years and love it.


    Everyone comments on how good the pictures are and on lollipop it adds more features to the camera.
