Moving on from the Huawei Ascend G300. Which phone?

[Guest Dave1000]

Hi,

 

I've read that development for the Huawei G300 is now effectively dead.

The Huawei G300 was the successor to the Orange San Francisco (ZTE Blade) for a lot of budget hackers.

So if the Huawei G300 is effectively dead, which phone or phones should the budget hacker now be looking at?

Thanks.

This is a good place to start:

A few people including myself have bought Coolpad F1s.

Moto G is available in China at slightly lower price than Huawei Honor 3C or Coolpad F1.

Motorola is a bigger name in China than Huawei and Coolpad.

Yet it sells many times less than those two phones. Guess why...

Some help please. I'm done with G300 and I have no idea what phone to buy next.

I haves some general requirements. Phone should be faster, I hate lags. It should be scratch and drop resistant (i am not very careful). And I don't want much bigger phone than G300. Some new phones are hard to fit into pocket.

 

I would like to spend around 100-150$ (75-110 EUR). I am not sure if i should try to buy something used but with warranty OR maybe i should try my luck with china phones. Thank you for any suggestions.
