Phone, monitor, or laptop

Hey guys,

 

I currently have 200$ to spend on some tech but im not sure what to get :

#1 Upgrade my Lumia 520 to a Moto g4 (leaning towards this option)

#2 Upgrade my Dell p190 (19" 5:4) monitor with an Asus VC239H (23" 16:9)

#3 Get a cheap laptop (least favourite idea atm)

 

Any tips/ suggestions?

How do you spend your time the most? Lean for something that goes with it!

I spend a lot of time on my computer but my phone is really getting outdated, I would really like a decent camera on my phone.

Well, if you sue your PC alot and if you use it for gaming you should definitely get the new monitor. Not only do you get better aspect ratios but you also get 1080p.

Do you have a decent system? Because a new monitor would be great. Having 5:4 sucks, and not only that it has 800:1 contrast ratio. That monitor is a little expensive. I can recommend the Acer h236hlbid. I also think Windows phones suck, so I would also think about the Oneplus 1 or 2.

What catches your eyes about it? The Oneplus One has a better camera( slo mo 720p) and 4k Video; It has a 100mah more battery, Much better hardware (double the Storage, 1GB more ram, Better cpu and gpu). The only thing lacking is the Sd card, but how much do you need. it has 64GB.

Hmh, pricing I guess, the moto g4 (not the plus model) is 100€ cheaper, and my budget is quite tight. All I need is an Android phone, 5.5 inch display and a decent camera. (Moto g4 is +/- 150€, while the OnePlus One is 300€ both new)

I would get a new phone. Instead of the G4 I would get the Oneplus X. I believe it's around 200$. Probably the best budget smartphone out there.

Yeah, but it misses allot of bands so you never get good reception, and Oneplus Users are always complaining how OnePlus has deserted them.
