Best $200'ish Android phone for T-mobile - Black Friday

[AFurryReptile]

Moto X is $349 right now, for black friday. No, that's not $200. But it's a hell of a phone and a good price for what you get.

I think it's a sale for Cyber Monday not Black Friday

Moto G is the best sub $200 new, off-contract phone period.
The HTC One is an excellent phone and for $179 on-contract, it isn't a bad deal.

You could also purchase any used GSM-based phone for a decent price and pop in the T-Mobile SIM.

I think LTE is sort of overrated. I use LTE a lot, and for most tasks, 3G can handle everything short of streaming Netflix and videos quickly.

For $350, the Moto X is a great off-contract phone. But the Nexus 5 is also the same price and has a superior SoC and display.

If its your first smartphone, I would get the Moto G. It will be off-contract so a lot of upgrade pressure is instantly removed.

If you've already had a smartphone and want a significant upgrade, I would look at the Nexus 5, or used Nexus 4's. The HTC One is also a good choice, but being on contract is a rather crappy outlook for many technology enthusiasts on this site.

My wife and I are both going to be getting a Moto G. I'll be moving up from an iPhone 4S, she from a Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G. We're both pretty excited to be honest.

No Nexus 5 for Verizon peeps.
