Hey guys, I have been looking towards Android for a long time and I really want to buy a Verizon Android device. I need it to be off contract and be $200 and under. What are some good phones that would fit me? The phone can be used. I saw the Droid Charge or the Samsung Fascinate. Any others? Thanks
The Incredible 2 is a pretty decent phone, and you can find a used one on Craigslist for around the $200 mark [maybe lower, but check if it's the 1 or the 2 first]
It's going to be really hard to get a good 2012 - 2013/14 phone for $200 on contract. So I'll complete disregard your price ranger and say; HTC Rezound. Verizon's best phone, hands down. I can't recommend anything else. Galaxy Nexus isn't great spec wise, but it sure as hell will be on top of updates and one way or another you are always guarunteed updates. HTC Rezound for the powerhouse (be aware updates wont be until a couple months after the sources are released for OEMs) Samsung Galaxy Nexus for the updates (be aware this phone isn't exactly the most powerful thing around... Also the camera is awful).
The Rezound's processor is based off of the Cortex A8 architecture whereas the G-Nexus's uses the Cortex A9 architecture, making the Rezound's processor inferior. And you'd be crazy to say the camera is terrible, or do you not know what terrible is? It takes stunning photos, my friend was showing me some crazy ones he took.
I'm gonna agree with you on the processor on the rezound being a little slower, but the rezounds camera blows the gnex out of the water, hands down.
