Best phones for Cricket/AT&T?

[AC Question]

I am moving from Virgin Mobile to Cricket because AT&T is MUCH stronger in my area than Sprint. My budget is right around 200.00. Here are a few phones I am considering:

ZTE Grand X Max+ - This is the phablet they carry. It has a 1200mhz quad core and gets decent reviews.

LG G2 - I've been told that this is a much better phone but it is becoming an older model now. You can get them on Ebay for around 200.00 but they don't come with a warranty which makes me nervous.

I would just like opinions on the best phone that is AT&T compatible and/or unlocked in my price range (200.00). I definitely want 4G compatibility and would want the fastest processor in my price range. I don't really care how big the phone is but would prefer at least 5in.

Thanks for your help!

Re: Best phones for Cricket/AT&T

I own the ZTE Grand X Max+ and for the price, its awesome. Yes, more money will get you a better phone, but I don't regret my purchase at all. It has plenty of space for apps, and with the 64gig sd I installed for pictures and music, I won't be running out space soon.
