Hey looking for a new phone that is pretty decent... but CHEAP doesn't matter if it's old

 

would love it to be a smartphone, have a good camera and at least 16gb of storage and if not that then expandable storage,

would love suggestions

and btw this is the type of thing I was looking at

so around £200 would be a good starting price point, this could go up or down later though... :)

PROFILEYEAH

What do people even put in these things?

If you are looking for the best, cheap phone you can get, my bets are on the Nokia Lumia 520.

  • £105.00 (off contract)
  • 8 GB built-in + up to 64 GB via MicroSD + 7 GB via SkyDrive
  • Decent camera for a phone at this price point.

 

Yeah it's just my Lumia 800 has broken 3 times now.... :( so I'm a bit worried about that line of phone now. (Lumia) and btw it's not just one Lumia 800 they gave me a new one (warrenty) and that one broke too D:

Nexus 4, Oppo R819 (No experience but the Find 5 Is amazeballz so probably great ^^, and it's only ~£220 for a 16 gb model on their site), and plz don't go below that I really really regret getting a cheap smartphone (LG E510), I'd really recommend getting a Nexus 4/R819.

Stuff I have I like: Moto G - Superlux HD681 Evo - Monoprice 9927

90% of what I say is sarcasm.

Low-mid range Android phones are pretty bad ( i speak from experience)

My Galaxy nexus is fine, got android 4.3 on it.

You should rather get a windows phone 8, they are pretty good at that price range.

If you use instagram there is an app called 6tag for wp8.

If you use snapchat is one app called swapchat.

CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 4,6GHZ OC MB: MSI Mpower z77  RAM: Kingston Genesis 1600Mhz CL9 16GB

Really? You must have had incredibly bad luck. I haven't heard of any major problems with any Lumia phone. Did it break by itself?

a quad core A7 based soc

its a really great soc

and the phone is almost vanilla

for 220 that razr is awesome

upgradable to 4.1.2 android jellbean

be warned  this phone will never see updates EVER and development is dead on xda

 

 

for ~220 u can buy a nexus 5 next month which i recommend
