AC Question

Hi,

I'm in the UK and looking to buy an Android phone (unlocked), but do not have much cash to spend on the device at present. I'm therefore looking at the sub-£200 range.

I've been considering three different phones so far, all with their own issues:
1) Nextbit Robin - I really like the look and design of this phone, but the whole merge with Razer concerns me for ongoing support etc.
2) Wileyfox Swift 2 Plus - Reviews appear to indicate a decent phone for the money, but with cyanogen pulling out, not sure what is in store for future upgrades / security patches etc.
3) Elephone P9000 - specs look decent, but don't know a whole lot else about this phone.

Can anyone recommend one of these, or any other phones within the right price range. I'm looking for something that will cope well in day to day use - text messaging, phone calls, internet browsing, social media etc. I'm not big into gaming on mobile and, so long as it has a halfway decent camera, am not too fussed about photography either. Would like to get better battery performance than the old Samsung Galaxy A3 I have currently, which has to stay on charge most of the day (drops from 100% to 70% within the first 1-2 hours of use each day!), so that shouldn't be too difficult.

Any advice much appreciated.

Regards
