Most bang for buck smart phone at the moment which won't freeze/lag... (~$300)

Hi all,

Wanting to buy a mobile for my mum, was going to pick up the nexus 4 but found out that it's no longer on sale from the play store T_T so wondering what phone I should get for her?
On a side note: I'm picking up an Nexus 5 for myself (does google charge for shipping? If I buy 2 nexus 5 do I only get charged the single shipping or both of them?)and anything I should be weary of about the phone?

Thanks!

  • Is getting the latest version of Android the most important thing to you?

    • I'm open to suggestions, nope doesn't have to be the latest!

      • You should check out LG's G2; battery life and camera are pretty good. As for your mother maybe ask her if she prefers iOS or Android? Older people generally prefer simplicity over versatility.

        You can get a second hand iPhone 4/4S for about $200 if you look in the right places. If android, a 16GB Nexus 4 will go for that price too.

  • Guess you must have missed this one being on the front Page and all but should help:)

    • haha my bad.. thanks for that!

  • Moto G gets raving reviews… it's also on Kitkat which is a big plus!

    I've just ordered one for my dad, waiting for it to ship over…

    If you know anyone in the UK the moto G is crazy cheap! £89 + £2 unlock code = ~$169! (obviously need to factor in shipping)

    $20 for shipping for the Nexus 5 (just got mine 2 weeks ago :D), love the phone glad I finally made the move from iOS… but battery life is pretty bad :(

    • Where do you buy the unlock code?

      • Ebay £1.99 when I last looked
