Phone for under 200 bucks in europe

[backfisch]

Hey guys, i have another question:

I´m currently looking for a new phone because my asus zenfone 5 is now finally garbage due to a lack of money i´m looking

for something that costs under 200€ in Europe and noticed that theres actually quite a lot of phones that don´t look to crappy.

I now searched out a few phones but i´m not quite sure about them so i wanted to have your opinion on them.

I´m looking for somthing that can get me through a normal schoolday(so not really a lot of power using mostly chating), it should be able to game a little but i´m not expecting s7 power, whats more

important is that the battery is not draining while playing plugged in like with my zenfone 5.  Zhe display should be around 5" and resonable bright(still not expecting too much) , it would be great if the camera

would be about at the level of the aquaris x5 of my sister(thats good enough) so all in all i´m searching for an allrounder. Heres the phones that i searched out till now(you can add phones if i forgot a good deal)

 

LG Q6                      165€

Honor 6X                  149€

Samsung Galaxy J5 167€

Xiaomi Mi A1            185€

Huawei P Smart        209€

Leonovo K6 Note     150€

Xiamoi Redmi 5 plus 179€

And what about Xiami they seam like an actual miracle for their price, are they actually good quality and am i giving up stuff like updates etc.?

I'm assuming you aren't a fan of Apple, right? 

[backfisch]

Not really, and i don´t think they have anything convincing in this price class

[GoldenLag]

You had a look at the Nokia lineup? They are offering a lot for the money at the moment. 

[jiyeon]

I recommend the Honor 6X. It's a fairly recent phone having been released in Q4 2016, has a 5.5" 1080p IPS display, 64GB/4GB or 32/3GB depending on your choice, a 12MP camera, and is the cheapest of the bunch! It also appears to have a beefy battery.

Not yet thanks for the tip i will check them out

Nokia is also running stock android. This means long time support in the "android one" program

[backfisch]

The Nokia 6 looks quite interesting, but i´m not sure where and if it has an fingerprint sensor(i guess in the power button). While i think that the xiaomi and lg(from the front not the back) are looking better i´m not ruling out the nokia. Still the xiaomi would be the winner for me if it has no support- screen- and camera problems.

[backfisch]

ok, i looked a bit more at the xiaomi and i have to say, it looks so great on a lot of the retailer pictures but on video you can really see that they fucked up the front design it just looks like an retarded s8

[matteo1989it]

Probably my best option would still be the Redmi 5 plus. However, if its design doesn't suit you can check out also Honor 9 lite or 7x.

The Honor 7x is a bit expensive ~230€ but the 7c also looks interresting. And i´m not ruling out the redmi jet, i just saw it with the wite color and that looked just awful.

[backfisch]

I noticed that already and the black version looks way better i´m currently also looking on the mi a1 which looks like its about the same phone with a diffrent display camera and design and battery but i don´t think i will take that one because of the lower battery capacity. I´m going to order the phone tommorrow and right now the redmi 5 plus is the phone to go with for me. Software support also looks good apperently some of the older versions got 2 android updates and still get security patches.

No Nokia? Well if those are your picks then P Smart!

[backfisch]

@Nena360 We already talked about the nokia if you want to add something just tell me

Well a Nokia 2018 model should do great! (5.1 or 6.1)

[backfisch]

@Nena360 I don´t think the 5.1 has been released yet at least i don´t find a place to buy it. And i think they´re both slower thant the xiaomi so i don´t see an advantage in them

Android ONE and built quality! :3

[backfisch]

@Nena360Yup android ONE is really an argument, but it looks like xiaomi also has good software support (of course not as good as android one) the thing is the 5.1 isn´t there yet and the 6.1 cost 270€ (so too expensive). While the build quality is probably better than the redmi most people in reviews don´t describe the xiaomi`s as bad, just that the place between the plastic top and bottom and the alluminium middle section could be smaller

Nokia 6.0 was rated the most drable phone of 2017 and it seems like 6.1 is gonna win it for 2018, also 5.1 should be here soon...

May 2018 is to long to wait? :3

[backfisch]

Still battery life will be worse,  it´s not as fast and has less ram. While buildquality is definetly important for me it´s not making me buy a phone that looses in most of the other

categorys for probably a little bit more money

[backfisch]

@Nena360And a new phone is quite important for me, my current zenphone 5 can only be turned on with a pair of siccors by bridging two contacts and is mostly unusable

Then if you most why not P Smart? :3

Edit: Google promotes it for businesses due to good security.

[backfisch]

@Nena360It´s a little bit on the expensive side, has less ram and storage and less battery and probably less performance but i´m not sure about that. But it seems like you don´t like the redmi do you have any reasons for that?

I prefer to stay away from Chinese brands when possible, if I were to pick a China one I would go for a Huawei or Honor device.
