Nexus 5X is within your budget, and is probably the best option all around, but if you need more than 16GB of on device storage, you'll have to drop $400 for the 32GB model

 

edit: as a@isle9 said, the Moto X pure is a great option, and I'd say it's be better overall than the nexus if you aren't into modding. also has a MicroSD slot which is a big plus in my opinion.

available to ship immediately at B&H

Moto G or Moto X pure are good. Oneplus One and Oneplus X are also good, and since youre not in the US, you dont have to worry about the OPX's LTE band issues. OF course you could look at some nice phones like the Nexus 5, HTC One M8, Galaxy S4/5 on Swappa.com too. Used phones are generally pretty good ^_^

moto g is abit weak imo price is good though!, the moto x pure/style is around 419(blaze it?) here in denmark.

htc m8 is like 450 here.

never heard of swappa so dunno if its trustworthy

swappa is trustworthy. it's the safest place to buy and sell used phones, and they verify clean identifiers.

Huge battery, waterproof and slightly drop resistant :)

screen resis a bit low imo

How is 1080p low? Nobody needs a 1440p phone unless all you use is Google cardboard. Plus higher resolution means higher power draw.
