All,
Looking to replace a beat to crap Galaxy S5. I'd like an Android--I need this thing to function as a phone, run google maps, have the internet work, and maybe take a few pics. I read reviews of newer smart phones and one may get a ding for "not playing 3D games well"---well, I don't need that nonsense, but I don't want to buy a turd, either.
I've looked at some articles on C/Net, looked at amazon reviews, and even some consumer advocate websites--there's no shortage of brands I've never heard of. But to me, unless I'm missing something, as long as its running Android, shouldn't I be OK for most non-teenager type usages?
Heck, for instance, a new screen on the S5 is $170. some of these phones are underneath that--if i find one i like and break one, it's nearly disposable as far as I'm concerned. several motorolas seem to be wafting to the top of the heap.
So, if you've got a smart phone that isn't a Galaxy S5, S6 or S8 that you're really liking, let me know.
