Long story short, I've been switching between iOS and Android over the past year and honestly keep buying and selling phones each time is becoming a pain. Before anyone gets all crazy fan boy, I like both, end of story.
Right now I am using an iPhone 5, but am looking to get an Android phone as well. However I don't really want to spend too much because it'll be used mainly as a secondary phone when I'm bored of iOS. But I do want it to be good enough to replace the iPhone if need be.
I've tried using an Android tablet, I had a Nexus 7, but it wasn't what I wanted, it didn't offer the experience I was looking for, which was a phone experience really.
I've looked over my options, and based on the price I want to pay. I have Nexus 4, HTC One Mini (Probably the highest amount I am willing to pay, UK have it listed at ?380 at the moment), Moto X (Rumours are it'll be similar price to Nexus 4) and well thats about it.
Now I've been contemplating getting a Nexus 4 since it came out, however it's gotten very mixed reviews, some people seem to love it, while others have issues and while it has specs of a more expensive phone, you can tell it is a cheaper device.
Since the HTC One Mini was announced a little while ago, I was instantly drawn to it, because I've been interested in it's bigger brother since it came out, but since I had only just got my iPhone 5 again at the time, I couldn't switch again. However upon looking at it's specs, while on paper are similar to the iPhone 5 (can someone confirm this), compared to the Nexus 4 (on paper) it doesn't stack up, and is looking to be a fair amount more expensive. I also think the 4.3" screen size is better for me (even though I did have a Note 2 and didn't mind the size at all)
The Moto X is still a little way away, but rumours do suggest a cheaper price point (compared to the HTC One, iPhone 5 and S4). However nothing is confirmed, will have to wait till August 1st I guess.
TL;DR - Looking for a cheap, but decent Android phone that I can switch using between my iPhone 5. I would say ?380 is probably my limit on price. Can someone help me decide? Nexus 4 on paper is best option, but some mixed reviews. Other option seems to be HTC One Mini, but may not have good enough specs. Moto X rumoured to be a cheaper mid-range device.
