Looking at cheap phones

Hi everyone - I currently have a Galaxy S5 that - long story short - I need to replace due to several problems. I am not in the market right now to spend a ton of money on a phone.

Anyway, I am looking at the cheapest options through AT&T and they have the LG K10, Galaxy J3 and Galaxy J7 for under $10 a month through AT&T next.

Would I regret going with one of those options? I use my phone primarily as a phone, and a few games. I use my laptop for most of my "internetting".

One requirement is I need a decent camera - the one on the S5 does not focus at all when I try to do a close up - for example if I am taking a picture of a check, which I do on a regular basis (as in multiple times per week), it won't read the writing so it won't deposit. I have to do it all with my wife's phone - which is working, but is inconvenient.

Other than that, I would like the things everyone looks for. Decent battery life, etc.

I am comfortable in knowing "you get what you pay for". I am not expecting any of these options to be the best phone ever. I just want to try to minimize the regret for the next 30 months.
 
I'm OK with Windows. I have a buddy who uses a windows phone and he loves it. I would prefer to stick with Android OS, but at this point, I'm not opposed to switching.

They have some excellent inexpensive phones. The problem is finding a carrier that stocks them.
 
If you're sticking with Samsung, get s J7 variant. Just check the specs first especially camera.

If you're not opposed to changjng brands, take a look at options available to you from Sony. In the lower range they tend to have the better cameras.
