Go to solution Solved by Damikiller37,

id take the one plus one. though if I were you id do liek me. wait for an invite for the 2 :D

I was going to but the 16GB model is out of stock so even if I had an invite I would only have the 64GB model to go for which is £289 and is a bit too much.

 

Looks like OnePlus One is the one I will go for :) Thanks everyone!

So I have a bit of a dilemma since my dad wants a new phone and asked me to help him pick one. He wants to spend about £200 give or take £25. So these are the phones I'm currently looking at:

 

Alcatel ONETOUCH IDOL 3 5.5 inch 16GB model (Costs £199)

OnePlus One 64GB model (Costs £219)

Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML 4GB+32GB model (Costs £225)

 

Here is a comparison for those 3 phones so make sure you look at the right model version according to what I mentioned above:

The storage isn't an issues since even 16GB will be enough for my dad and if he will need more the Idol and Zenfone 2 have SD slots while 64gb on the OnePlus will definitely be enough. He is looking for an all-round good performer just so that he won't have any issue with games, video, web browsing and everyday tasks. Battery life is pretty important but he isn't a very heavy user so he is likely to get through the day on a single charge one any of the 3 phones.

 

I would have loved to get him the Droid Turbo but it's for US Verizon only :(

 

I would appreciate feedback from those that have these phones about their experiences and why I should go with one than another. If you have any other suggestions which the mentioned price range feel free to let me know.

 

Thank you :)

OPO. Best all around.

 

Asus lacks two most important things on a smartphone in my opinion, screen and battery.

 

If this was me, I would go with the ASUS for looks lol

Are you serious? Asus looks awful irl, the bezels look like the phone is from 2010.
