Looking for a Cheap Android Phone under $200

I Need a new phone, and I was thinking when this https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/270891 click and collect deal goes live on ebay it might be a good time to buy something. I would like something with a warranty, a 5 inch screen would be nice, OS android (don't care what version to much).

I have a pop 4 5" that I'm using for now, but it's just too slow and I feel like throwing it whenever I try and use it. Maybe if this phone had an earlier version of android it would be ok, but it's just really not nice to use.

Thinking about getting a Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro but don't think I would get any sort of warranty ? I'm also confused about networks, ie is there different versions of the same phone ? Currently using the Optus network (vaya).

    I'm pretty sure you do get a year warranty with the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro. I have one and its definitely the best value for money.

      You get sellers warranty. Xiaomi won't do anything.

      • Damn, you beat me by seconds….

    Get the Xiaomi, have one and for $200 you wont get anywhere close in terms of bang for your back. I think it is covvered by warranty but you have to send it back at your expense - for $200 it is worth taking a chance

  • Xiaomi Mi4c - cheaper $150ish, better camera and better display

    or

    Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 - $230ish, better specs and expandable storage.

    or

    If you can stretch the budget a bit more then get a Nexus 5X for around $300. Display, camera and performance trumps the other 2.
