What size screen do you need / want? Camera specs? any other thing you would like it to have?
Bang for the buck the Huawei G526 is hard to beat, finding one these days may be difficult?
around 4.5", basic camera. I really only need it to do what my Velocity did, but maybe a quad core so its not as sluggish
Specifications of this Y550.
Quad core, 1200 MHz, ARM Cortex-A53, 64-bit
Adreno 306
1024 MB RAMBetter than your Velocity? Definitely. Build quality remains to be seen but it is a quad core device for $99 dollars. It even gives you data and Spotify for a few months, so it's a pretty sweet deal.

Grey import? Then probably the Zenfone 5
I'm in similar situation, deciding between refurbished Nexus 4 from Kogan or Xiaomi Red Mi/Mi 3.
Any comment on those phones?
The Nexus 4 was a good phone for it's time but nowadays there are far better devices packing better build quality, battery runtime, CPU and expandable storage.
Have a look at Xiaomi Note LTE as well
https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/172349The Mi3 is using Snapdragon 800, much faster than the Nexus and using a better GPU, and far better battery life.
Thanks for the link
Hi,
I can't really be of much help, but from what I've heard the Moto G is the best budget Android phone. Unfortunately, it is not under $200 but is at the high $200s, it should last you a while though.
