    I asked a similar question before, but this is a bit more general. My Note3 is slowly headed to old-phone hades. I'm looking for a "hold me over" phone until the Note5 is released. I'd like to keep it around $200 USD. Any recommendations?

    I don't think you'll find anything for that kind of money that will be an improvement over the N3

    Keeping in mind that I am a Motorola fan, how about the Moto G

    The Moto X is on sale but I believe that's $350.

    I'm not looking for high-end. I'm looking for something of a low-end smartphone. I'll even consider refurbs. My phone (or as I call it my "CLIP" Communications Life-Management Information Portal) is still functional but it is getting annoying. It is actually Google and the Loolipop update that messed up my phone. I've read articles on how to fix, but none work.

    I've been seeing LG G2 phones on sale for around that price lately. Even cheaper, the HTC One M7 could be had.

    Hmmm, I have the HTC One M8, and love it, the M9 was recently released. However, I'd say if I was just looking for a temporary phone I would just pull one out of my drawer of retired phones.
