The Note 3 is probably the best phone on this list and it isn't even among the most expensive handsets there.

If you're on a tiny budget Moto G, on a median budget Nexus 5, on a high budget Note 3. If you like small phones maybe iPhone 5S, I just don't like iOS.

    Does anyone seriously think that any of the phones in the 200-300 bracket are better than the Moto G?

          For a tight budget, Optimus G is the best choice.

                Xperia L, Lumia 925, Galaxy Grand, Desire 600, One Mini should also be considered....

                      i think you should mention at least one Lenovo phones. as far as i know Lenovo phones have good price/performance, especially the low and mid-range ones.

                          Already have a 1020 but I am wondering why you didn't mention LG G2 in this user guide, gsmarena?

                              so far nexus 5 is the best for everything. i put iPhone 2nd , note 3 3rd and h&c one 4th respectively. if you consider all the perspectives.

                                Where's Blackberry Z10 in this list? Especially with the currently discounted price it should easily grab one of the positions on the lower end of the pricelist.
