$100 on contract smartphone?

I'm looking for a new smartphone on verizon and my budget is $100. My options are the Droid Maxx, HTC One, Galaxy S4, Moto X, and LG G2. What would you guys suggest?

My vote is the Moto X. Looking at the spec sheet, it isn't impressive, but seeing it in person makes you appreciate it a lot more.

G2 is a great phone, perfer it over my s4. htc one is premium feeling, but i do not like the screen size. go into the store, and see which of them feels the most comfortable in the hand. you never really know until you go to a store. because in reality, all of those phones are GOOD phones. you would 99% be happy with any of them. but you wouldnt know which is better until you try it in person.

 

 

 

I would go with the G2, but it might not be your cup of tea.

I don't get cheaping out on a getting $200 flagship phone, $100 you get something that's most modern and it's a drop in the bucket compared to the whopping $2000+ over the course of a contract.

Which HTC One? If M8 go for it. If M7 then get the LG G2. If you don't care about best performance out of the lot then Droid Maxx is great too. You don't know how amazing having such long battery life feels until you use a Maxx as a daily driver.
