Hey,

I had a note 2 which was giving up,thus I bought an iPad Pro 9.7 for media consumption and apps, and use the note 2 for calls and whatsapp, but now it has given up,thus i am on a tight budget for a new phone,300 USD,thus i would like the community to help me decide since all of my tech decisions are pathetic and admittedly dumb. Should I save now and buy a good phone later??Buy a budget phone now???If yes which phone??

Anticipating your replies.

Not exactly a small budget for a phone you know :P

The Nexus 5X is a solid phone but there have been issues with the type-c port.
