<div>Just a quick note. I don't know if it
works, haven't tried yet, but WiFi calling seems to be baked into
Marshmallow on the 5x. The 5x has been great so far. The only
real complaint I have is the speaker pop on powering on/wake up.
I know, nit-picky... I was tempted by blu, one+, and UMI. But
couldn't pull the trigger on those just yet. Perhaps in a next
two to three years. :)<div><div class="h5"><br>

cracked and the digitizer hosed and I'm still learning about new
brands I've never heard of, like the UMI mentioned above. From
my quest, I have learned that there a quite a number of tier 2
manufacturers that offer quite a lot of bang for the buck. There
are several quite impressive offerings in the ~$300-400 range
including the likes of One+ 3, but the UMI Super is quite close
in specs to the One+ for only $200, pretty amazing!

<div>We're with T-Mobile, but don't get good reception at home,
so rely on their WiFi calling feature. I am not confident
enough to try a custom ROM install plus, I suspect we would
lose the WiFi calling feature if I did a CM or such. We just
ordered a 32GB Nexus 5X on Friday (which I assume will not
come with WiFi calling) from Amazon for $279 with the thought
of taking it to Google Fi, if the T-Mobile Extended coverage
doesn't work for home calling. It was ordered Prime, but
delivery is not till 9/2, presumably because it will be
shipping with Nougat installed.</div>

<div>In summary, I find that one can get tons more performance
and features on an Android phone for WAY less money than on
iPhone. With performance going up and prices coming down
continually, [at a $200 price point] it seems to me that they
are pretty much becoming throw away devices after the expected
2-3 year useful life. When you think of the thousands of $ we
have all spent on computers over the years that are no longer
supported, $100-200 per year in today's dollars for such
impressive technology isn't so bad.</div>

I'd recommend the onePlus3 if you are looking in the
$300 rang phone with pretty much flagship features and
a vanillish Android OS.<br>
If you want to spend even less, with higher specs and
a 5.5" diagonal screen, the UMI Super or Umi Max is an
excellent value.<br>
I bought a super for my daughter at a promo price of
$189, and it has 4gb ram, 32GB of storage, expandable
to 128GB. Marshamallow (Androd 6) and no bloat.<br>
If you want a good deal on a new, in the box T-Mobile
HTC10, I have an extra that I found I didn't need, and
is looking for a home.<br>

Without knowing what features you prioritize and
your carrier, It's hard<br>
to offer meaningful suggestions. Personally, I'm
pretty happy [1] with<br>
the Sony Z3 Compact I picked up a couple of months
ago. It's small but<br>
not low-end, Sony is still supporting it, and plays
nicely with<br>
Cyanogen.<br>
<br>
[1] As happy as I can be without having a physical
keyboard. Sigh...<br>

Sorry about that. I'm on T-Mobile. It needs only to
make calls,<br>
tether, navigation and most importantly as close to
vanilla android as<br>
possible. I have a work phone from sprint that is
just embarrassingly<br>
stuffed with bloat-ware, a lot of which cannot be
uninstalled. I have<br>
maybe 2 other apps over stock installed. I'm usually
around a full<br>
computer, so browsing on a 4.7" screen isn't very
palatable.<br>
<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
