Nexus 5x, a very good choice but you said your budget was £200


Did you get one for that money?

I said around the £200 mark. A Topcashback payout helped too.
£224 for 32 GB on Amazon and a Life Mobile SIM only deal through Uswitch (found on this site).

I'm not a fan of Samsung phones either, am staying clear of them

Yes I don't like the Samsung bloatware pre-installed. The Nexus is pure Android and the Moto G4 has very little, easily disabled

My last Samsung phone was the S5 and there was so much bloatware on it. I had a 32GB card in it and not all of the apps can be moved on the card to make room on the internal memory and because you can't delete any of the pre-installed stuff.

I got to the point when I bought a fitbit I couldn't install the stuff for it as the internal memory was full and couldn't delete anything else. It had to go and I upgraded to the iPhone 6S 64GB, no issues at all.

I've eeked a couple of extra years out of my S4 Mini by installing Android 6.0 on it and buying a new 'official' battery.

Let me know what you're thinking of getting, as I may pick up something new in a few months, as it's starting to fail (eg headphone jack no longer works)

The problem is, all the phones have 5"+ screens and are far too large. Even the dozens and dozens of cheap Chinese ones from Xiaomi, Doogee and the like - all too big.

That's why I moved to Nexus 5, I'll never go back to a Samsung or any other phone that isn't pure Android.
