Necropost, lets not resurrect dead threads shall we?

OnePlus is a fantastic company. They make absolutely amazing phones worth any price they put them at.

Apple, no. Rubbish battery life, possibly the worst company I've ever bought a phone from. Not worth the money one bit. Although if you're a sheeple, you wouldn't care about what I just said and you'd get it anyway.

Motorola are okay. They were a lot better before Lenovo bought them off. I currently have the Moto G4 and I do advise you that you do NOT buy it. Since the Android 7.0 update, the battery life lasts about 4-5 hours on a good day. Also the phone spazzes out like someone is touching it constantly. Unusable on some days.

Sony are good. A couple years ago I had their awful Sony Xperia (Z something) and it was awful. It was slow at turning on, turning off, loading Google, everything. But since then they have grown and they have got a lot better, I do recommend some of their phones.

Samsung are great, although their 'TouchWiz' home screen thing makes the phone very slow. If you get a Samsung, I suggest either getting Google Now or Evie launcher. They make great phones though.

Those are the only companies I have bought phones from.

My conclusion :

Apple, awful. I don't like them one bit.
OnePlus : Amazing, fantastic, perfect. Definitely the best phone company out there right now. Only flaw is that when they release a new phone, their old one goes off sale.
Sony : Haven't owned a Sony device for a couple years but when I did, it was awful. Pretty sure they have got a lot better since then.
Motorola: Were absolutely fantastic, but have recently fell down into a huge pit they have to climb out of. Definitely not buying from them again, sadly.
Samsung : Decent, although some features slow the phone down and in my opinion their phones are quite ugly.

So if I had to decide between all the phones I said, I'd definitely go with OnePlus.

These are all my opinions, please do not quote me on stuff that you may think is incorrect, disrespectful or stupid. Everyone is allowed an opinion.

If you want quality, get an iPhone!
If you want a phone that won't break easily, use a Samsung galaxy.

I would agree with MattsOnMc , OnePlus does release good phone models in the low price category. Oce time, I have spent a lot of time too, trying to select a good and inexpensive phone, because the budget was limited and I wanted something worthwhile. As a result, I had to abandon the Apple series because the price did not suit, and Android, honestly, is more convenient to me. In general, Android can offer a lot of space for choosing the phone from the cheapest to the most expensive models. Oneplus is a good value for money. If interested, you can see the characteristics of one of the liked models in internet sources. It is a full review of the phone. By the way, if you don`t like oneplus you can find there another phone and сompare their characteristics.

HTC One series anyone?

Try Samsung

get the cheapest thing that can text and call, phones are overrated

HTC One M9 is nice phone with very good speakers for a phone.

Samsung Galaxy S6 is about 500 euros. And is all around great phone, it's like best phone you can buy right after S7. Has super good camera even in dark places.

If you have bad habit breaking your phones, Samsung Galaxy S5 Active is phone I have, very very durable, good performance, kinda poor camera in dark places, but if sunlight, it works perfectly.

I'd suggest you to stay away from iPhones, as they can break easily and the iOS has no good customization options. And Apple hates people who jailbreak (They have also sued teenager for it)

I would really suggest the iphone. In my opinion it has the best design, is simple and ios is probably the best thing you can have on your phone. In case you want something that looks good, the iphone is the best thing. The only downside is the price. I started with the iphone 4, 4 years ago and the only reason why it didnt survive was, that it fell down 3 meters screen first on a stone path (trampolines and phones don't work together). 2 years without damage. It was more or less unbreakable. I suggets the iphone se or whatever it is.

Jailbroken iPhone.
All the benefits of Android, with ease-of-use of an iPhone. You can have as much or little content as you want.

But when getting a new phone, remember that it's 99% preference. Some people will argue that specs matter, but as long as the phone is from this year, specs will not really make that much of a difference in the long run.

Don't believe anyone who says "Android is better" or "Apple is better" because the "best OS" is 100% opinion. There is no definite answer as to which is better.

one that goes ring ring

I personally don't like IPhones. So I would recommend a Microsoft Lumia for business or an Android for Games.

I'm not to big of an apple fan, but I do think the iphone GUI is really simple, compared to the mac, which no offence, but... i hate macs. So, I would go with the iphone. BTW, I have an iphone and I love it.

just don't get apple, they purposely program the phones to break

I would ignore all of those phones and get the Nexus 6P

One reason to get the Nexus over the Oneplus or other devices, its Google's baby. The Nexus has nice clean, stock, Android. Why is this important? These phones are very well supported, the Nexus devices are the first devices to get new versions of Android, and Nexus Devices are very well supported, expect to get software updates for a loooong time. Also, you dont have any of the bloatware that Samsung, LG, or a lot of companies add to try to make their phone different. This bloat usually isn't removable, you dont get any bloat with the Nexus, except for some of Google's apps that every phone has anyway. Plus it has a fingerprint sensor, an excellent camera. I think this phone should be what you get, front facing speakers, another big one, once you have a phone with front facing speakers, it is difficult to go back to bottom to back facing speakers. A whole lot better, if you like to consume music, video or play some games, this phone has some very excellent DUAL front facing STEREO speakers. if you decide not to get this amazingness of a phone, if you get a OnePlus device, get the OnePlus 3.

GET THE FRICKING LADYBUG 2.0: PRESCHOOL EDITION!
THAT VERSION ACTUALLY HAS BUTTONS!

Oneplus 3.
Or iphoneSE

Choose Apple if you want:
- Easy Navigation and functionality
- Nice design
- Texting and calling with ease
- Basic customization
- Basic apps

Choose Samsung if you want:
- Easy Navigation and functionality
- Decent design
- Texting and calling with ease, with the choice of an app customization
- Large variety of choices for customization
- Ability to go underwater
- More apps

Apple is more for professionalism, and Samsung is more for development IMO.
I suggest you don't get a Windows phone because nothing supports the modern day Nokias.

I'd suggest an iPhone, they work with the most providers, have the most apps, and are the easiest to navigate.
You can get a brand new 5S on amazon for ~$300. The 5S was always the best version anyway, idk what you'd need a 6 for.

Get something from the Galaxy S series, or just something Samsung.

Get Minecraft Pocket Edition.

Maybe an LG G4 or G5. I had a G3 and it was a good phone. Decent battery life but i got the G4 when it came out the battery life improved and i just got the G5 the battery life improved a lot compared to my G3.

I'm here with an $80 Nexus 5 xD
Does me good though and I like it

I got a Z3 compact once it came out, great phone! My friend has the Z5 and it works really nice, so I would suggest the "Sony Xperia Z5"

EDIT:

Another reason to take a Sony over Apple/Samsung, you don't pay for the brand... Apple/Samsung phones are getting more and more expensive, not because of their hardware or quality but mainly because of the brand... So I would suggest avoiding those 2 brands at all times.

bump.
so far I like the
-OnePlus
-Samsung
-Apple
Any other suggest are good too!

If you want a smart phone, Samsungs are like Uber Apples. If you wanna go cheaper, I am a very satisfied with the LG phone I have. I wouldn't suggest any specific version of phone to anybody, because people vary, and phone companies are always updating their models. Don't get an Apple, especially if you want to keep some of that $500 and be able to use it. Samsungs are expensive too, but whatever. Depends on what you like.
