Looking for help choosing a new sub-£200 phone.

Hey all,
As the topic says I'm looking for a new phone that's hopefully in the £100-£200 region (With cheaper being better in this case).

What I'm looking for is a phone that can support duel sim cards, has a decent low-light camera, and can actually run things like Shazaam and FF:Record Keeper without freezing, all of which my current phone can't do.

Now from looking online the Elephone P9000 seem like it would be perfect for what I need as it has the duel sim support and the camera is supposed to be pretty good (The Sony IMX214/IMX258 series seems to be decent as far as I can tell), plus it's (barely) within my budget. However I've seen a lot of hate for Elephones in general. Can anyone with first-hand experience with Elephones chime in about them?

Edit: Also, just looking at specs, something like the Huawei Honor 5X might also be a good choice. Plus it ships from Amazon in the UK, so that's a bonus.

So as I'm pretty much a smartphone noob (I brought my first one in 2013 ), can anyone give me advice on a good smartphone to buy?

I'd personally avoid elephone like the clap. while the hardware is very tempting, the software side leaves a lot to be desired. this is going by what i've read from other people experiences, and reviews on the internet of their general hardware/software


i was considering the huawei 5x as a backup phone (i got the smart ultra 6 instead) the 5x has a large battery, fingerprint scanner, mediocre chipset, standard amount of ram, 2 sim slots and an SD card slot. seems to be right up your alley. the only thing i've read that is a bit disappointing is that sometimes there is a bit of micro stutter while navigating menus. and apps can take a bit longer to load.

pretty much any chinese phone is going to be dual sim.

soo...

Xiaomi,
Meizu,
LeTV / LeEco
ZTE etc.

check out honorbuy.com, they usually have some good deals.

Been looking at jumping ship from Windows to Android myself. Where to go????

OnePlus X or either of the WileyFox's?

Huawei 5x is a good shout too

OnePlus X without doubt - premium phone for non premium price.

Xiaomi Mi4c from eBay. Done!

Official page for the similar Mi4i (there isn't one for the 4C for some reason!)

Check out the Chinese phones thread when buying a phone at this price.

£150 would be the sweet price for me. What is right at this price people? Needs to have a decent camera and Android now as sick of Windows. Plus, where to buy, unlocked.
