I get asked this question a lot. And the range appears to always be the same. Between $250 and $300. Honestly, this is good money for a solid phone. But the truth is you shouldn't expect just too much for that amount. If you're a very adventurous person, then I would suggest Vivo V9. Beautiful smart snappy phone. But the problem is the customer service. Of course, this completely depends on the country you are in.
