Ok /g/ents, I need your help.

My phone literally got stolen last night and I don't know what to buy as a replacement.

I was using my friend's old HTC Desire HD and only really made use of the basic features so don't need anything special.

Will probably buy it outright because I can just get a replacement SIM sent out (mobile account is with my ISP). Also, I'm an ausfag, if that limits the pool of prospective phones etc.

I am sitting here totally overwhelmed because I haven't been keeping up with this shit and there are too many makes/models out there.

Also, fuck Apple.

Buy one of these: http://www.amazon.com/Fsmart%C2%AEM5-Student-Version-Smartphone-Partner/dp/B00UWT5DM4/

It can call and text.

Awesome.

That is neat and all, but obviously I still want a smartphone so I can browse etc.

If you want a smartphone, might as well go big or go home. Nexus 6p/5x, GS6, or HTC one m9+. Take your pick.

I just bought a s4 for 100. It is pretty nice.

Get a last gen Nexus or the Note 4. Should be cheap enough to justify it by now and itll fit all your needs without going overboard.

i recently purchased a refurbished LG G3.. just under 300.

K3 note, just flash a clean rom onto it.

$150

I really don't want to spend that much on a phone.

>>50767948
They both seem a bit on the large side tbh.

>>50768028
That sounds pretty reasonable. I'll look into it.

>>50768074
Wow, so cheap. Will check it out as well.

Thanks, all.

Nexus 5 is 4.9" i believe it would suit your needs perfectly. My last two cents. Good luck to you, anon.

Oh, what a cool and trendy hipster you are, OP.

>>50769201
Just checked it out. Looks pretty solid. It's only 80-90 bucks more expensive than the G3 and they both are very similar stats wise.

If anything I would probably go with the Nexus 5, because "muh stock android". Reviews for the G3 do complain about bloat/lag.

Thanks again.

>>50769455
What can I say, I just don't like their products, nor do I want to be stuck using itunes etc.

>>50769723
also check out the Moto X Play. Its battery is so fucking godlike, and you also get nearly pure Android (only one Moto app installed, and trust me, you want this installed) with fast updates. It's also much newer product than the Nexus 5, so you won't see it unsupported in 1-2 years.
