I don't know about Alcatel and Huawei P8, but 5x is good. If you don't care about stock android, you can go for 5x or Mi note3, otherwise moto g4 plus will be good option. It is already on marshmallow and motorola has been good with updates. Don't go for oneplus x, too many broken promises from OEM.

I cant ser where to buy a mi note 3 in US. And moto G 4 and plus i cant see it buy on amazon or motorola website. All in US
I thought It would be available everywhere as it is launched and already available here in India. See if they have any future release date set in your country.

Looking to buy a new phone.
I'm struggling between:
Moto G(8GB)-found it at 130$
Lg l90 dual- around 180$
Xiaomi Redmi 1s- 160$
Few advices.
Which one would you choose.

Well the specs are all kinda similar.
I don't find anything great about LG L90, compared to these two it dosen't even have an HD screen.
Xiaomi makes some great devices, and i like MIUI they are shipping with. Also i think Xiaomi has a better front and rear cameras.
Moto G has a solid dev support. The 4G version got an official CM11. Not so sure about Xiaomi.
Did you consider Nexus 4 ?
Moto G is defintely the best of all. My brother got it and it's a great phone also as said by nightwalkerkg it has a solid dev support (3G variant) that you will be able to have a lot of future android updates.

I did find Nexus 4 at around the same price like Moto G so most probably i'll go with that.Aside for a slitghtly better screen and battery nexus 4 wins it.
But for the most part yes:Moto G or Nexus 4 cuz they will have a long like on xda.

I'd go with the nexus 4. But the choice is yours.
I'm thinking of buying the honor 5x... It is of 280$ in my country.... Should i go for it, or is there any other phone in this price range i should consider....
One of my main concerns would be if this phone will get custom roms..... I will most likely get the L21 ver.....

I don't know what country you're in and if the prices for other devices are inflated too. I would not pay $280USD for this device however, that's more than the retail price.
I think this phone will get custom roms, but whether it will get official CyanogenMod support is a different story.
Any OnePlus device will perform better and have better camera than the Honor 5X. I had the OnePlus X before this, which is generally better, but I bought the Honor 5X just to try something different, and it have better battery life, bigger screen, and the finger print reader.. I also had the OnePlus One which had a very nice camera and good battery life.
Other phone to consider is the Alcatel Idol 3, which is about the same specs as the Honor 5X but smaller screen. There is the new Idol 4 as well.
Also the Nexus 6 is a good consideration.

Thnx for the reply..... Not only prices are inflated in my country, many phones are not available at all.. One plus x and the idol 3 aren't available in my country, i can get a used one plus one for 250$.... But i really don't wanna go for a used option....
Also i know that the l24 model will get custom roms... I was talking specifically for the L21 model..
Will this model get roms apart from cm?? Like aokp etc??

if i see reviews about Hono 5x they say this phone have lag on all, so my question its, is this the better option for 200$? and how its the lag? its a 616 octacore the lag can't exist.... other question its... this have marshmallow officially? thanks
this phone lags. and i am using stock rom.
The phone does lag here and there but not too bad... its because of the stock rom... if you intend on flashing a custom rom then this is the best choice...
Also MM is under beta test and should be officially available in half a month or so

Hi I already ordered the Honor 8x but only later I realized that you cant put LineageOS on it.
I can still stop the order but what would be alternatives with good value for a cheap price (especially camera+dual sim).
Would the Poco f1 be the next best choice?

Well if you are from India your best options will be
Redmi note 5 pro
Asus Zenfone max pro m1 6gb
Or you can give this a try
Moto power one
Xiaomi mi A2 lite good bang for buck and good development going on, I'm selling my 8x no bootloader no development screw honor [emoji16]

Thank you guys for the suggestions. I'm located in Europe so the Redmi 5 Pro is sadly not an option.
The Xiaomi mi A2 Lite looks quite good, I'll have a closer look on that. Maybe the camera is a bit to weak for me.

I hope a lot of people don't buy it because of that. Like many others I contacted their support with no luck.
It's pretty unfortunate as the phone would be nice.
Welcome. It will be a great phone! better than one plus "one" at a time. I want to give REALME the same chance I gave oneplus when they started. One plus is just an emotion. Where is the 5% xioami margin and one plus. We know that the phone creates programmers with brands that open the source code and kernel source code. We work together and I know that one day this phone will be better than one plus EUR 919
Really impressed by the price of REalme x50 pro, but when i came to see how its doing in XDA with modders support, Realme is really disappointing me from buying this amazing phone.
Yeah, wanted to buy the phone, then I came here, and found Realme doesn't have a development team, I bought the Redmi K30 Pro instead. More expensive, doesn't charge as fast, but 3rd party ROM is what's more important to me than anything else.

I also was disappointed in Realme's development support. So much so, I abandoned the idea of buying this cool phone (sure the OS would be okay for about a year max, but I want to have 2+ years like my OnePlus 5T) and bought a OnePlus 7T instead.
This phone caused me frustration
I'm thinking hard to go back for one plus
Very impressed with the OnePlus 8 Pro...
