I've read a few sites which rank the best budget phones but obviously prices can move quite a bit, so an article a few months ago may not suggest a phone which is now sub £200, with that in mind looking for some advice really.

So my Samsung S5 is finally dead, looking for a budget upgrade max around £200.

So far it seems like the three best contenders are..

Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite
Honor 9 lite
Honor 8X

The latter is at the £200 mark where as the other two are sub £150, depends if specs wise its worth it, though it's not a huge amount more so I'm guessing it might be the best choice?
 
Consider paying another £20-30 for Pocophone F1.

What do you tend to use your phone for mostly and what features do you need the most?
 
If you don't mind the size it sounds like the Poco is the one to get. However I didn't want a phone that big so I went for the A2 Lite. I love it. Copied from my other reply;

I'm loving my A2 Lite. Honestly Android One is great, the sound from headphone jack is pretty good (maybe not as good as my OnePlus One that I came from, but ok once I played with the equaliser. I'm getting like 2.5-3 days from the battery. I'd highly recommend it.

I got the 64gb version for the extra ram (4gb) and with a 128gb SD card I'm laughing for storage. I also wanted the A2 Lite for the headphone jack, btw.

I vote for an Honor 8X. Somehow like how its display to body ratio is the highest.
