Question

Struggling with phone choice

by Nov 21, 2015 7:38AM PST

Ok, this is a stupid question, but I am curious what others think. I need to get a new phone. I only have around $300 for a phone right now. Right now I have it narrowed down to the zenfone 2, or a second hand - note 4, z3, s5, Lg g3, and a few other similar 1 year old phones. Any suggestions, or other recommendations out there?

An old HTC from 2010 and a BLU Life One that was 99 bucks. Both work fine.

Look at the Alcatel too. CNET reviewed it(!)

Amazon sells it at that general price point.

I would be tempted to look at it over the BLU models, which are generally a bit spartan/lacking in some areas beyond the net price paid Wink YMMV, of course.
