    Vodafone Smart Ultra 6. I have one as a second phone along with my Oneplus 2. The ultra 6 is a great phone for 179. I'd pick it over the Huawei g7 all day long.

    Three also have the P8 at €279 now, slightly above the OPs budget, but its an excellent phone and really premium with a great screen and the camera is well thought of in reviews.
    Thats the prepay price from them, it'd cost about €2 to get an unlock code online.

    Elephone p8000? It's £126 on amazon at the minute plus parcel motel.

    1080p screen, Octo core processor, 3gb ram and a 4165 mAh battery. Seems serious value for around the €170 price point.

    Don't know much about the reliability, etc. but I'm sure someone will have some more info!

    If you can wait a couple of weeks then the new Moto G4 will be out on Amazon, Argos etc.

    The G4 plus will sell for around £199 on Amazon unlocked.
    Supposedly decent 16MP camera, 5.5" 1080p screen and 3000mAh battery. Almost stock Android.

    Vodafone Ultra 6. I've had mine for 7 or 8 months and it is still superb.
