The title explains all, please recommend a good phone under the $300 - 400 range
Thanks in advance
Moto G4 Plus
Moto G3
smartphones sold from China (e.g. Geekbuying, Everbuying)
smartphones sold from an online retailer besides a larger well-known store (e.g. Harvey Norman)
smartphone brands only sold online (like Xiaomi)
Your help is much appreciated
What's wrong with s5 you neggers?
nexus 5x $399 harvey norman
Tbh the phones you are looking at are perhaps the best options in that price range (considering if you're only after local stock), however I would advise the Moto G4 Plus over the Moto G3 as there isn't a large difference of price between the two when it comes to sales. I have owned the Moto G3 previously and it is a great phone, however the price is highly inflated for it in Aus, as compared to the States or India. The Moto G4 Plus 32Gb version is great for it's price (around $340-360 during sales). Good luck :)
Which is better?
Main problems I had with the Moto G3 (perhaps not much of concern for most people)
However the phone had many great features too for it's price
The Moto G4 Plus almost fixes all the problems I had with the Moto G3 and keeping the features I liked in the previous model for just a little extra. So yeah, G4 Plus is better!
Thank you very much!!!
Just to chip in: G4 Plus has no magnetometer to sense magnetic fields, so it's basically not able to tell you compass information (can't tell which direction you're facing)
Could be a downside if you heavily rely on it for on-foot nav directions or play PokeGo.
"We'd like to inform you that following sensors will be there in Moto G 4th generation or Moto G plus 4th generation:
Accelerometer
Gyroscope
Magnetometer (Compass)"

Xperia XA is another alternative in that price range, however it isn't exactly better regarding performance/features

Why?
Because they emit more non visible radiation in the cellular radio component than major name manufacturers. It's got to do with R&D spending vs safety of consumers.
I'm not very safe then…
There hasn't been any conclusive links to this and illeffects in humans though. But you never know..
It's more difficult for warranty, also some personal reasons
Only one device…
Nexus 5X (32GB).
The rest are junk, seriously.
(the oneplus3 and zte axon 7 are nice too, but don't meet your requirements)
Have to second that.
I had an LG G3 and gave up on waiting for security updates after over a year with no updates.
Partly LG, partly OPTUS.
Same for most other non Nexus/Pixel phones.
Only guaranteed to get frequent security updates is ti get a Nexus.
And its great phone for the price.
How do you feel about the difference in the cameras of the LG G3 and the Nexus 5x?
Got the Nexus 6p. Just do snapshots and have not had any issues with either camera (LG G3 or Nexus 6p).
Nexus 5x could not comment.
I was looking at that..
btw it's $600
Read the comments.
It was $500.22 @ mobileciti eBay - a local store.
But now out of stock, maybe you can ask them if anyway thing they can do like backorder.
The key word was…. was
but yeah they do backorder I think
You should ask when you are buying, the price will change from time to time and new models are coming out.
