Here you are asking about performance so you can hit reviews on the models that frankly I've yet to see in any shop or store here. I guess you are shopping for models in the lowest price range we see today.
That said my wife has a Kyocera Hydro Vibe that was 228USD. It seems nice enough and the wireless charging feature is great.
