OK, my dad has decided he wants a Smartphone for his 70th birthday
I'm looking at 5" models becuase he likes my sisters S5,- but I don't have that sort of budget . What can I get with a 5" screen for £150-200 maximum?
The new Moto G I already know about. Anything else?

Several reasons.
1 720p on a 6" phablet screen, He should be better able to read the text on it.
2 Battery. If a light user he might get a week out of it.
3 Its bent so if a tiny bit deaf, the mouthpiece and earpiece sit in the right place.
Wins hands down for price/performance. Even the battery life is OK.
It is aimed at the top end, though as we know that can be meaningless

One of our staff loves it because "I just do this" (he pinches to zoom) "and I can see my messages in big text!"
The bugger screen is worth a tenner.
Only if you are into that sort of thing ;-).
I have to agree with you on that one, the 3C is a terrific phone, even the Honor 6 is as well.
The Emotion UI may grate on some, however v3 is much nicer and flat, in keeping with the eventual lollipop update. Huawei are only just starting up their European operation relative to flagship level devices.
If you buy with Amazon they also do the warranty (I think) so any problems you would go back to them.
I got the Honor 6 a couple of weeks back, and its actually becoming my main phone in place of the beast that is the Galaxy Note 4
Huawei are definitely a brand to consider.
