Thanks, everyone! I'm definitely checking out the Nexus 5X, and some of the other recommendations here. Maybe I should add that I'm in EU, since I saw some amazon.com link in here.

Hello! So, I'm in need of a new smartphone, as my current one, a Samsung Xcover 2, is outpaced by a snail on a good day. More specifically, I need a fairly cheap (max ~$400), relatively fast android phone. I hardly use the camera, and don't wear my phone as a fashion piece, so looks aren't much of a factor either. Thing is, I've never bought a smartphone before. I got my current one as a gift, and all my previous phones have been old Nokias, so I don't really know where to start looking. That being said, don't refrain from going in detail! I know my way around tech, and want to learn. Any help is much appreciated, thanks in advance! It's my first time here, be gentle...
