[Running list] Best budget phones from $160 to $250

[user1334]

I bought the Honor 5X and overall, it's been money well spent. Decent specs and battery life, camera quality is also pretty reasonable for the price. Lack of screen protection is something to be aware of, but can be easily remedied with a tempered glass.

its best to Run with the Alcatel Idol 5.5 or Asus Zenphone2 in regards to ram and screen and also camera. You could also add BLU VIVO XL 4G in it also which Cost 149 with a 13 MP Rear and 5 MP front facing cameras. 5.5" Display or is Sister Phone BLU VIVO 5 with same specs difference being the 3G RAM to the latter 2G RAM and the Cost is 199

Nice list..
I will suggest Asus Zenphone2 or OnePlus X to go in this range, you will find superb features in these android phones.

I got a one Plus X recently, and it was smooth, crystal clear n small. Was satisfied with the appearance n design too. The camera issues it was facing was somehow mitigate via a recent hotfix. Only flaw, battery drains out rather fast bet 7-8 hours of use.

I would definitely add Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 to that list. Pity it's not available widely enough.

ZTE Zmax 2. Mine was a $59.99 like new model from ATT website. With shipping and ebay unlock code it came to about $67. That pretty well eliminates all phones until you get to the $200 range.

I have heard only good things about Motorola Moto G. It's about 200 euros.

If I had to choose, I would choose between Asus and Huawei, but considering the specs, they are quite similar and Huawei is cheaper, so definitely-Huawei!

I am not an expert but the Asus Zen phone 2 is probably the best phone I ever owned , regardless of price
