Smartphone that can rival iPhone 5S at same price point.

Handsonic

Hi, I’m wondering if you guys know a smartphone that can rival the iPhone 5S Certified Refurbished at the same price point. Right now the iPhone 5S (CR) can be found under $200, is there really any android that can equal perfomance and quality under $200? I do not prefer any brand, or any kind of preference. I would love anything but a Windows phone.

I have used Oneplus3 for sale for £160(cracked screen). It will blow the iphone 6s away (speedwise).

Maybe a Moto G5.  The Motorola brand seems to thrive best with low-to-mid-range hardware.

 

Personally, I'd say that if you like the iPhone 5S, you probably want to look at an iPhone SE.  It's $349, but... well, it's new.  You get a reasonably fast chip, a good camera, Touch ID and 32GB of storage in a design you already know.

A snapdragon 820 wont blow an apple a9 away           . If anything the reverse is true. In benchmarks they are close, but in the real world the a9 will run smoother and faster thanks to ios. Its also better for gaming i think.

Gpu-wise, the 820 outperforms the A9 by a pretty significant margin, not as though it matters due to the difference in games library.

The phones that have the lockscreen ads on sell on amazon. Or you can get an iphone se for $129.

Moto G5, or import stuff from China, such as the Xiaomi A1, in this price range and runs stock android. If you get it from Taiwan, Hong kong or other places, there is the Play Store preinstall.
