New Smartphone Suggestions

It is about time I replace my iPhone4 with a cracked screen; seeing that the repairs may just go straight to a new phone, I decided to be on the lookout for a new phone that will not break the bank.

I was looking into the Asus Zenfone 5, because the price for around about 150 bucks, the looks, the fact that it is an Android os, make me salivate all over it.

I am not one for the brand names anyway, so I need not care if it's not a Samsung or Apple product, so long as the price is good, looks clean and simple, and is an Android phone.

What do you guys think of the Zenfone 5?

Do you guys have another phone around the same price ($150-200) that you'd recommend?

Thanks!!

Galaxy S5.

Aren't the Galaxy S5 over the $150 price point?

I paid $97 for my s5 at Target. That is with a new 2 yr contract though.

Nexus 5 you can hack and mod the crap out that phone.

You don't even have to run android. Sailfish, Ubuntu touch an Firefox OS can be installed and dual booted.

Really? I will have a look at that! hehehe thanks!

Slightly out of my current price point me thinks, but anyways, I am not in too much of a hurry to get a new phone, I might be able to save up for this.

Thanks for the option!

Actually the S5 would actually be more expensive; to figure out the price of a phone on contract you usually want to add at least $480 to the initial contract payment, depending on the carrier. So the S5 would cost about $580 whereas a Nexus 5 is about $350.

A lot of times if you hit a Sale you can get a N5 free with contract.

Somehow I am still leaning towards the Zenfone 5. Price is good.

Just need more feedback on it or more options on that price point lol

the amazon smart phone is 99cents.

 

+1 to a nexus 5. Expect prices to keep dropping. Its already a monster phone for the price. A nexus 5 plus a cheap sim only plan and you are sorted!

I would recommend the Moto G or the LTE if your into that high speed data thing. The 2nd gens are getting an upgraded 8 MP shooter with front speakers and microsd card support.

The moto X 1st Gen is getting down to about that price. Great phone with incredibly useful features.

the new Moto G is awesome for the price
