Best Android Phone For £200?

[Spartacus]

My mother is after a new phone and fancies an Android phone, so my question is Whats the best Android phone you can buy for around £200 unlocked/sim free?

I can get a refurbished HTC Sensation for just under £200, but is there anything you can buy brand new thats as good or better for around that price?

Cheers

Second hand SGS2 for best bang for buck.

I did look at the SGS2, but the auctions seem to go way over 200pound, especially after you add on postage.

Perhaps spend £100 and get a Huawei Ascend G300?

There aren't really any new Android phones in the £200 price bracket, and the G300 is very good value for money.

just did a quick research on ebay, the SGS2 can be found for max £50 over your budget.
have a look to 160856836569, £230
doesn't look too bad

The ZTE Grand X was meant to be ~£200. But a second hand SGS2 would probably be a better phone.

SGS2 second hand for the win. The G300 whilst well priced still stutters and lags badly imho.

If you want a new phone, get a MTK6577 device. Only cost me £150 and it outperforms Tegra 2 and the Galaxy Nexus.

But for <150 I think its pretty good.

 

[kmetek]

you sure? does it have JB?

I would take a look at the ZTE Grand X, qHD screen, decent build, tegra 2.

 

[Spartacus]

Ok, thanks for the advice guys.

I think its going to be a second hand SGS2 for under £250 from the auction site

Cheers
