    Am with meteor and looking to get a new payg phone for about €200, would prefer to keep away from the Chinese ones as a broken screen on my p9000 meant it wasn't worth while getting it repaired.
    The ones I have whittled it down too are:
    HTC 825 or 626 @ €200
    Samsung j5 @ €200
    Motorola g4 @ €210
    Vodafone su6 @ €130 + unlock fee

    Anybody any idea which one would be the best to go for or which one should be avoided.
    Any other phone I should consider for around that price range?

    I don't think you'll go wrong with any of them except the HTC. It has lesser specs. Another one to consider might be the Huawei Gx8.. Great phone

    Thanks for the reply, will give the HTC a miss so. Will look into the gx8, can't find it on the car phone warehouse site so probably Amazon.

    Thanks for that, I'm sure it was €210 a few days ago, just wasn't sure if it was still the go to phone at this stage

    Have a look at the BLU Vivo 6 phone available from amazon

    I bought one two weeks and its a fantastic phone. Price including delivery Eur 228

    4 gb ram and dual sim support/fingerprint sensor/ 64 gb internal memory (up-gradable to 128 gb with external micro sd)
    Android Marshmallow

    Mediatek processor might put you off but it honestly has had no lag since ive been using it, its super fast and responsive.

    Moto G5 is out next month, specs look excellent. Also probably worth looking at Wileyfox
