ThatSweetGamer

So I'm looking for a good unlocked smartphone for under $400. What do you guys suggest?

OnePlus 3. If you can spend 50 more, OnePlus3T. These phones get wildly unrecognized, but are the best budget options on the market.

I suggest waiting until after MWC to see what gets released.

You can get the G5 right now for $299 unlocked. Pretty solid deal.

for a solid daily driver phone a 6p but for a phone with good spec a one plus 3 or the 3t.please note one plus warranty is fast as a snail, on average it takes 2 months to a half a yer for warranty claim.

Xiaomi redmi note 3 pro or wait for the remi note 4 pro. No doubt. Just go for It, now!

 

P.D: look for an american seller so they can give you warranty or buy on gearbest, from my experience, they can be trusted (im sure you will hear about bad experiences, but they are the minority).

 

Edit: well, indeed my suggesting is for a mobile under 200 or 250 (Im talking about euros, I dont know about prices there on the USA).

Haha yeah that's pretty rough. Thought of just buying a super cheap phone until it's here? You can get Nokia 5 series phones for around $20, at least you'd have texting and voice (and data but let's be real it's a pretty budget phone).

The G5 Plus looks awfully nice this year, and who knows what else is coming out.

The Redmi phones generally don't support the appropriate bands for North America.

Oh, I didnt know It! They work great in europe, Im sorry to hear that. So maybe you could go for a oneplus but they are more expensive but still into the budget.

Yeah, I know, I forgot to say that you have to change the iso, and use cyanogen for ex. Thanks for warning, I totally forgot!
