What phone should I get for Under 200$?

I've been looking to buy a new phone for myself for the past few days and have been researching on the ones that fit the bill. My budget and requirements are pretty much the same as yours. After having to look into the positives and negatives of a lot of new/old devices, I've finally shortlisted the following two devices:

1. Lenovo K4 Note
2. LeEco 1S.

They both are under the $200 limit, fit your requirements too and come with excellent features. I'm more inclined towards the Lenovo K4 Note as it takes better photographs in low light conditions when compared with the 1S. Moreover, I've also heard cases of sync issues on WiFi and heating troubles for the LeEco 1S. I think I'll give them a few months to rectify these issues with software updates before plunging into using them.

OP here, The Lenovo phones look very good with their specs, however it so happens that it does not support the HSPA/LTE bands in USA for T-mobile( which i link here http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4986). Currently the MX4 Pro seems to be the best option as it supports 1900Mhz, which T-Mobile is focusing on, and it has very good specs.

I would suggest you to buy Smartphone under 200$ are as follows;

Coolpad Note 3
Honor 5X Smartphone
Xiaomi Mi5 (latest one and 26MP camera)
Obi SF1
Lenovo P70

That's it.

Based on your requirement here are some of the phones that I can recommend -

1. Xiaomi Redmi Note Prime - The reason i selected this because of the screen size and looks. So on these both counts the phone fits your requirement.

2. Lenovo Vibe K4 Note - This model has 5.5'' screen and latest android version. Other features include 13MP camera. So this definitely something worth taking a look at.

3. Honor Holly2 Plus - Holly has 5 inch screen, latest android version and 4G support. The camera is 13MP rear end side. So pretty much a good spec at price within your budget.

All of the above models are priced under 200$ if you shop on Amazon India. You may see slightly higher price on snapdeal and flipkart.

These are the smartphones which will satisfy your requirements. These are available at the price below your requested one and has some good reviews.
