Which Cheap Phone?

[baxter1999]

HI everyone,
I want to know which cheap phone is the best. I currently have an old LG Optimus L90 and just cracked the screen, and think it is time for a new device. I was thinking of the BLU R1 HD for $59.99, the Moto G (4th gen) for $124.99 ($25 discount for prime day) and the Honor 5X ($119.99).

Which one is better? Does the Moto G have an overheating problem?

I have heard the most good things about the Honor 5x.. Why not try it? The Blu r1 seems to be pretty cool though, don't know about any reviews yet for it.

Edit: Spoke too soon. http://www.pcmag.com/review/345824/blu-r1-hd

I think the Blu would probably be cool.

The Honor 5X is a steal at that price.

I am on T-Mobile and on Amazon it says that the Blu only supports 4G LTE bands 2(1900MHz), 4(1700 MHz), 7(2600 MHz) and 17(2100MHz). What does that mean? Is it a concern?

Also, the 5x only has android 5.1, is that a large disadvantage? My current phone only has 5.1 I think.

The cameras on the cheap BLUs leave nothing to be desired. At least with the 5x, it should be better. That aside, pretty cool.

The Blu only supports certain bands of LTE, is that a problem?

How about the fact that the 5X only has Android 5.1?

Depends what carrier you are on. Blu usually supports the important bands. They said that a update will be coming to enable Band 12.

Apparently Marshmallow is rolling out to the Honor 5X now.

Let us know what you think! I think it's an interesting phone for what it offers.
