What's a good phone to get?

[ZLion]

I think it is about time I upgraded. I am still using my Galaxy s5. lol

I was debating on getting the s8 but I really don't want to spend THAT much on a dang phone. Anyone know something for under $250 that is a solid phone?

I'm still using my S4 (the S2 was one of my favourites).

I do have a Huawei P9 Lite though (got it with a fantastic data package that I couldn't pass up on) that is pretty decent except for the fact that it refuses to notify me of any new Whatsapp messages when it has had the screen turned off for more than a few minutes. Good phone though overall (if the P10 wasn't so expensive I'd have considered that as an upgrade for my main phone).

Would also love the S8 myself but that price just makes me want to wait it out even longer especially while the battery still holds out on my S4...plus at least I can replace it fairly easily if it does cave.

Have you considered just getting a new-ish phone? You can get the s6 fro around $180 used and $300 new with some digging. I mean heck, I know a few people who still have the s3! If you take care of the phones they will last. I think the s5 was the only one with notable issues though.

Any of the newer HTC phones are pretty top notch. I would say look into ones from 2015/2016. Can probably find one in your price range.

The HTC M9 is the one I have and I love it. I am not sure what the price is going for these days but check that one out.

What carrier are you with or is it prepaid? I mean if I know your options I could make some solid recommendations. My buddy knows a lot about phones.

The price makes me not want a newer phone either. I recently did go from the s4 to the s5. Not much of a difference. Someone told me I should have went for the 6 to see a better improvement over all but those were still $300+. I paid $180 for the s5.
