Best Used Phone for around or under $300 USD(Price is a massive factor)

n00bmlg

I have a Galaxy S4 and am in need of an upgrade, any recommendations? (note, I would rather spend closer to $200 if possible)

I want to be able to play graphics intensive mobile games

I want a good software experience(I'm currently running CM13)

I would like a large screen

I don't care about resolution as long as it's at least 1080p

I would like good battery life

I would like a fingerprint scanner

The lower the price the better

I like hardware for the home, back and recent keys, but this isn't a deal breaker

Probably the biggest thing is good smooth performance

With that being said here's some phones I'm considering

LG V10

LG G5

Galaxy S6

Nexus 5X

OnePlus 2

Moto X Pure

and Nexus 6P

Thanks!

Either 6p, or if you can wait until Oneplus release their updated Oneplus 3, then grab the original Oneplus 3 (since it should be around $300.)

If you dont mind the build quality of the 6p then go for that

 

From that list its down to the OP2 and the 6p\

 

Once Oneplus releases their new phone you can expect a price drop for the op3

I'm considering the OP2 since it's 100$ less and I need to buy a new graphics card

That's a pretty good idea if you don't mind big phones (I love them)

That phone has some issues.  It's the worst phone they ever made.  All the above are good choices except for I have heard that the gs6 ha not so great battery life.

Why not try the Nexus 6? Great screen size, pure Google OS, decent battery life, great for games, and can be had for about $175+ shipping.camera is pretty good as well, and, will have 7.1 as soon as it's released.
