Unlocked Phone For Under $250?

[AlanAlan]

Is it possible to get a good phone that is unlocked under $250? I have seen the unlocked prime exclusives phones, but I don't know if they are any goods? Any recommendations?

If you can get the Honor 8 on discount, it's an excellent device. If not, look for something like the oneplus 3 or zte axon 7, though i've never tried those. The Honor 8 is an excellent device however, and it usually costs about 300$ unlocked.

^ what he said

 

leeco le pro 3 is also really good for the price but the stock rom really sucks

 

and xiaomi offer some really good sub $200 devices like the mi a1, but the US compatibility is pretty mediocre

STAY AWAY FROM BLU

If software isn't a concern, the LeEco Le Pro 3 is probably one of the best price/performance phones you can find right now, with better battery than many flagships.

Try for a one gen old used flagship phone on craigslist maybe, I don't know anything about budget phones unfortunately, sorry haha.

One gen old is hard to find at that price, but two gens is easy. I bought a used gs6 a few months ago, and I have yet to find something to complain about.

Fair enough, but yeah there is always good used options available. I always get a flagship phone on release and upgrade every two years. Selling my old one on kijiji/craigslist, and they were still all very good phones when they left my hands.

Do you guys think the Nokia 6 is a good option?
