Seems like I may go with this one.

Thanks to all you guys that helped out and dropped in :salute:

I handled it at bestbuy and I wasn't too high on it. It has a metal build but felt cheap. Screen was just decent. I'm sure it performs well but there's other phones that have more bang for the buck. It's crushing the reviews though. If you don't need a lot of features it'll hold you down.

I just want the phone fast and apps fast. I want good quality videos and good reception. Able to maintain battery life when on BT. Also needs Lotta memory. Don't need more than that

Stay away from the G3. It held me down but it gets blazing hot (had to take it apart and install thermal tape), battery life is weak, and the screen is dim.

The G4 had boot loop issues.

I copped an Axon 7 mini for $199 and it's a steal. AMOLED screen so the colors pop. Dual front facing speakers that sound incredible and they're loud. If you watch a lot of video or play music it's perfect. Battery gets me through a day with moderately heavy use. The camera is only decent but I never take pictures. If you're gaming you might want to get the bigger Axon 7 but that's 399. The mini is currently 299 but bestbuy and Newegg always drop the price.

The thing with Android phones is there are new flagship level phones in the 399 range but if you're looking to spend 350 it's better to buy something 199-250 and keeping the extra money.

Other phones you should check for around 250:
Honor 8
Honor 6x
Moto G5
Moto X 2015


I also got the 7 mini for 200
Phone is ok
The camera sucks
And I hate how messages look
Especially group texts

Lenovo zuk z2 and z2 pro (best value for money on the market. Read the specs and reviews. Enuff said)
Vernee Apollo (stock android, great specs)
Vernee mars (another stock android)
Leeco le pro 3
Xiaomi mi 5s
Xiaomi mi 5
One plus 3
Leeco le max 2
Lg g5 Can be had for 350ish on swappa or eBay
Meizu mx6
Lenovo p2
Asus zenfone 3

The days of needing to spend 600 plus for a great smartphone are long gone.

After the bullshyt from the last Note (only phone I have ever had since the Note 3) I copped a ZTE Max Pro and been rocking with it for over a year now. shyt is exactly like the Note (minus the stylus) and I love it. Waiting to see if they drop another one.

Lenovo, xiaomi,lg,oneplus and asus are legit and well known brands. Le eco and Vernee are relatively new and meizu is legit as well to an extent but not as popular as the other brands.
