    Hi,
    HTC One is getting old in the teeth, time for new phone. I have my eyes on the OnePlus 3 (rave reviews everywhere) but at €400 it's a tad expensive (my wife thinks).

    So any suggestions for a great smartphone with very good camera for under €300 and under €200 please? Quick phone/decent storage & RAM, good battery...

    The Moto G4 gets best under €200 in many places but someone said the camera isn't great.
    My wife got the Redmi Note 3 recently.

    Cheers,
    Pa.

    The first place OEMs skim on is the camera. Its been the let down of lots of Moto G and Nexus devices for a while.

    At 300 you might get a good sensor with a Chinese handset, at 200 that'd be difficult.

    Second hand Galaxy S6 for €250-300. Doubt you'll get a comparable quality camera in a new device. Rubbish battery life, though.

    Thanks. Battery is important. I'm veering towards the LeEco LeMax phone.

    A max 2 has EU 4G. Don't think the 1 does.

    Thanks. Is that the only thing I need to look out for?

    Cheers.

    Lack of NFC is the only other thing that bugs me. Le Pro 3 covers that base.

    Have a look at the Huawei Honor 7. First hand experience and the battery in it is something I'll miss whenever I move on.
