Best Android Phone under $500 for a Snapchat Lover?

Its for my sister, she wanted to get an iphone but its too expensive. She is now conviced that android is the one that she should get but I am having a tought time deciding which one. I have been looking at Xperia X, Oppo F1s and Xiaomi mi5 and mi5s. I along with my dad and sis went to jb hifi to see Xperia X on display but they were in stock but in display :\

Spec wise, xiaomi is a class above but I dont want to be the tech guy for the lifetime of the phone. Xperia X and Oppo F1s' rear camera are decent but not totally sure if their front camera is really better than Mi5s' front camera. F1s is the cheapest but Xiaomi's and Xperia's price are not that high and both are similarly priced in different stores. I am looking at eglobaldigital and aliexpress's dreami and hong kong goldway

Full Comparison: http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3?&idPhone2=7260&idPhone3…

Front camera comparison:

Xiaomi Mi5s: 4 MP, f/2.0, 1/3" sensor size, 2µm pixel size, 1080p

Xperia X: 13 MP, f/2.0, 22mm, 1/3" sensor size, 1080p

Oppo F1s: 16 MP, f/2.0, 1/3.1" sensor size, 1080p

Which one is the best for snapchat?

      P9 is not available in australian stores anymore, I got it in January for myself, absolutely loving it. its currently on eglobaldigitalcameras for $519 i think.

      Xperia XA ultra is not good at all even if its going for $299.

      Iphone SE is just a bit over $500 budget.

    xperia.

    wife has a C4 and it has a great camera at the front, even has a flash. phones a few years old now but still great and has a 5.5 inch screen.
    I think theres a newer model now (not sure) but the C4 wass only around $250 from mobileciti

    Try the LG g5. Excellent camera and the rear has dual camera with one wide angle

    Snapchat is all about Cameras. Go for Oppo

    The Oppo F1 is good and has the best camera of the lot (Not sure if that matters for snapchat?). I'd also consider the Nexus 5X too which can be had for about $350 these days.

    I recommended the oppo f1s to my sister-in-law and she was massively impressed with the camera on it. When it was time for an upgrade for me and wife I bought us one each also. Camera front and back are good and there's some type of beauty filter the girls love to use.

    Who is your Snapchat Lover? Have you ever met them outside of Snapchat? That's very generous of you to buy them a $500 phone.
