Hey all,
My awesome daughter has just come out as the top student in her final year of primary school, and so I'd like to reward her with a decent smartphone for High School next year (well, Christmas really).
I was initially looking at the Moto E for around $200. But I have since decided that minimum specs are 2Gb RAM and 16Gb storage, and HD screen, so have upped the budget to up to $300. She also wants a white flip-cover, so accessories would need to be available.
Any thoughts on what fits the bill, that I can get in my hand before Christmas?
Theres someone selling new sealed Galaxy S4's on Gumtree for $279, which seems a good deal,but advise on whether this is a known con or similar would be good!
Dick Smith also has the Oppo Mirror 5s which looks good for around $250 - anyone have experiences with it?
Cheers!
The S4 is a very old phone now, I wouldn't pay that much money for it.
The Lenovo K3 Note, and the Redmi Note are popular Chinese phones in that price range. The problem is that you may not get one to Australia in time for Christmas unless you pay for an express courier. Most of the cheap places will send the cheapest post.
I have had an Asus Zenfone 6 for 18 months now and it's been ok. The biggest problems were related to the Intel processor, but those are getting resolved. Lenovo are sneaking more and more ads into their stock apps now as well - which is annoying. Overall it's been pretty good considering it was ~$250 when I bought it.
