Budget Phone recommendation

[PigeonFX]

Right now I have an archaic Samsung galaxy note 1 N7000 that is starting to fall apart. 

 

Looking for something in the £150/$200 range, and would like to keep the large screen size I am used to with the Note. 

 

Have been looking at the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 4G Phablet - GLOBAL VERSION, but would love some more recommendations. .

Redmi note 3 pro and the 4 are both good devices, make sure they have band support for your network.

Yes good choice. They are not phablets though, screen is 5.5"

Xiaomi makes international version phones for export. If local carriers have this phone, it means it will work on the local baseband.

Yes, think my current Note has a 5.3" screen so 5.5" is good with me, 

 

Looks like the Global version covers:

2G: GSM B2/3/5/8 
3G: WCDMA B1/B2/B5/B8 
4G: FDD-LTE B1/B3/B4/B5/B7/B8/B20 TD-LTE B38/B40

 

My network uses:

1800MHz (2G & 4G) = Band 3

2100MHz (3G) = Band 1

2600MHz (4G) = Band 7

 

So think that covers everything, but if I need to check anything else, let me know
