What does /g/ think is the best budget smartphone?
Personally I think the Moto /g/ (3rd gen) and ZTE Warp Elite are very good choices. The ZTE is cheaper but the Moto /g/ (3rd gen) will work with most GSM carriers and you can install a custom ROM. I can't decide which one is better.
Anyway, let's have a poll.
http://strawpoll.me/6861430
Moto G (3rd gen) has 6.0
Zenfone 2 you plebs
>zte not making a shitty phone
Is it opposite day?
Xiaomi redmi 3 blows moto /g/ out of the water
If only it had an active xda following
A moto e is all you need desu
Just get an iphone 5 you poorfags.
oneplus x
>>53064641
I said best budget smartphone, not shittiest budget smartphone.
>bosst mobile
>>53064731
lol whoops, meant to say Boost Mobile
Moto G 3rd Gen is the best between these two. Other good options in this price category are Xperia Aqua, Xiaomi Mi4, OneplusX
The zte phone has pretty decent specs for the price but I'm gonna have to side with the moto g for rom support. sorry vomit chan
The zte looks like a better option. Better battery life and bigger screen for a cheaper price. I like that.
***NOT¨*** your personal consumer review site
I like the boost mobile plans but I still think the moto g is better.
i got this (http://amzn.com/B0189RMNTG) for $100 and it's been pretty gud so far

I know, this is a poll. I'm not buying anything atm. I just wanted to know what /g/ considers the best budget smartphone to be.
>>53064418
For real though this. I'm surprised an x86 atom is providing all that juice.
Which budget smartphone has the best camera/video capabilities?
>>53065132
Your literally looking at them. not sure if the zte is worth being locked with nigger mobile for life though.
Depends on what your limit is. I've seen the Xiaomi Mi4 for around $240, which is amazing for a flagship phone from just last year.
The moto g has been and always will be the best budget smartphone.
>>53065155
Huawei P8 Lite destroys them with camera capability though, plus its an 8 core with 2GB RAM
>>53065503
>Huawei
I don't trust them anymore. The zte is still cheaper anyway.
>>53065293
Moto
What about a Nexus 6? They are regularly $250 new.
>>53065622
Why would anyone want the Nexus 6?
>>53065622
no microsd slot
>>53065655
Because it's a hell of a lot of phone for cheap?
>>53065622
$250 isn't even close to being considered 'budget'.
>>53065736
>$250 isn't even close to being considered 'budget'
$250 is 'budget' to me
>>53065761
Good for you. Most of us can barely afford a $100 smartphone and get cucked to death by contracts instead.
The best budget smartphone is a used Nexus 4.
Why buy some cheap crap when I can get flagship quality for even less?
>>53065807
>2,100 mAh battery
>8MP camera
>no micro sd slot
Can't really beat Xiaomi for budget phones. I got a Redmi 1s a year and a half ago and it still works perfectly. Beautiful screen, good camera, very responsive with zero lag, removable battery and microsd slot etc.
Sure it doesn't have any fancy features like finger print scanner and I won't be able to go for a swim and take selfies underwater with it, but it does everything I need it to and for 100 quid i really did get the best bang for my buck.

>megapixels say how good a camera is

I feel so proud right now.

What's the catch?
>>53064405
On my moto g 3rd, how did you get 6.0?
>>53066154
I don't think there's any
Maybe the lack of backlight in capacitive buttons if I had to name one. Except that it's a pretty good phone for the price
>>53064361
Moto /g/ of course
>>53065807
Nexus 4 is basically unusable with its battery
>>53066073
Have you never even used a Nexus 4? The battery life is one of the worst ever, it's seriously horrible.
>choose the moto g and you're stuck with a smaller screen and battery
>choose the zte warp elite and you're stuck with boost mobile
FUCK
>new budget phone
stop being good goyims
Just buy a refurbished flagship from 2014-2015, better specs for the price and no 720p bullshit.
>>53066226
>>53066251
All my previous phones had horrible battery life. I'm used to it. Are there even smartphones with good battery life?
>>53066498
I've had bad experiences with refurbished products. No thank you.
>>53064418
>there's still Zenfone shills around
>yfw boost mobile has enhanced lte
Never thought a prepaid carrier could ever become this good.
>>53067043
It's 2016, of course they would have that. metropcs has something similar I think
zenfone 2
>>53065010
So what is this board then, a platform for corporate advertiser spammers? Don't ask about phones, just read the ads?
Can you upgrade a camera. For example take a spare camera from an htc one m8 and put it in an m7?
>>53065043
howd you get it for $100?
>>53068930
no get over it
Moto g/moto e
I got a brand new Moto e from my carrier store for 39.99 last month
>>53068958

>>53066522
yes, anything over 3Ah is good
fuck it, the warp elite is obviously better. Fucking motorola cucking us to death with their tiny batteries.

Lg G Stylo. Virgin/T-Mobile variant.
>2gb ram
>16gb internal storage, up to 64gb added
>3k mah removable battery
>5.7" 720p screen
>snapdragon 410 quad core
>android 5.1.1
>13mp camera rear/5mp front
Cost me $200 at the door.
>>53065563
>Huawei
>I don't trust them anymore
Why?
Ive heard the Stylo is pretty sluggishly slow, so-so build quality, and the big screen drains the that battery fairly quickly. I also think that its too big.
>>53070951
Virgin is a CDMA provider that gets their network access courtesy of Sprint, the T-Mobile Stylo has no CDMA support so no, what you meant to say was you go the T-Mobile/MetroPCS version of the Stylo which has 2GB of RAM - all other variants only have 1GB of RAM.
>>53071058
It's not sluggish at all if you get the T-Mobile/MetroPCS variant I just mentioned above which has 2GB of RAM - the 1GB models do get a bit sluggish depending on what you're doing at times. The 5.5" display is 1280x720 and it does not hog battery life at all. Last time I owned a Stylo (the 2GB model) I was getting a solid 8+ hours of SOT with regular usage between charges (like once every 36 hours at most, typically went 48 hours or more before a recharge).
The tiny bezels because of LG putting the control buttons on the back ensure that it doesn't feel like a 5.5" display model in the hand but it is.
It's a great device, with a sensitive stylus unlike any other ever made for any other device really (capacitive displays), fucking crazy sensitive.
The 2GB model is a rock solid device overall.
>>53071122
Whoops sorry yea. Get those confused. Metro or T-Mobile
After a love-hate relationship, I love my OnePlus X. I need to get one of those dbrand skins tho
Glass back is slippery and gets dirty as fuck
>>53071192
All of this and then some. I love my stylo. Root and TWRP recovery is available for both MetroPCS/T-Mobile versions on XDA forums.
>>53071261
So after all this crap how is the battery?
>>53064361
for anyone who has the warp elite, how is the camera?
I have a zte phone and the camera is kinda laggy while moving around and recording video.
