    I definitely rate Samsung phones, very reasonably priced, good spec for the cost and fantastic quality. Usually comes with a 2 year warranty and 1-2 Android upgrades as well.
    Easy and simple to use.

    Whichever one suits your needs best.

    Huawei may present a problem in that most models now don't have access to the Google playstore.

    Exactly.  Have been on Motorola for some time, proved excellent phones, and minimal bloatware.   Samsung have a lot of bloatware usually, Sony seem to be out of favour nowadays, and think they're slow with updates.

    Budget?
    We are happy with our Honor phones. 
    Been looking at the xiaomi and some decent options


    Across the manufacturers(most) 
    There are plenty of decent choices in the £100-£150 price range.

    A few all rounders a little weaker under £100, upto ~£200 you can look for specific higher end features like memory, storage, camera set...
