I had the Nexus 5 and loved it, so I definitely agree with it being the king of the midrange world when it was available. I actually just bought the Honor 8 about two weeks ago, and really love it! I think the only downside to this phone - at least, for me - is that it doesn't have a removable battery. But it's fast, the display and camera are awesome, and I love the fingerprint scanner. Also, at 5.2", it's the perfect holding size (again, for me, anyway!). I bought mine at Newegg, at $100 off. If you can get one for the deal you mentioned, that's a steal!
Other good phones to look at as far as midrange is concerned is the Axon 7, like you mentioned, and also the Asus Zenfone 3. I had it between Honor and Asus when I was trying to decide. The Zenfone 3 is 5.5" if you're looking for something a little bigger.
Let us know what you decide!
