Nexus 4 or Optimus 4x hd
I currently have a Galaxy S3 with a broken screen and LCD. To fix it will cost £160 - £170. If I trade it in I can get £80 - £100. I can't afford a replacement S3 so I am looking at either Nexus 4 or Optimus 4x hd. I am buying a used phone and these are both a lot cheaper than S3,
Does anyone know which is best of the two? I only use it for browsing internet, a little gaming and watching Youtube. (also the occasional phone call) |

160 quid is like the official price. Most third party phone shops can do it for around 50. You can buy the glass for around a tenner on eBay. There are videos on YouTube how to do it.

So these are the two phones you've been offered with the trade-in of £80 or so? How much real cash are you paying or is it a contract? Sorry, I'm confused - what I'm getting at is if you have a set budget and get the trade-in independent of buying a new phone you may have other options? For example, a new 16GB Moto G is £160 which if you can get £80 for your S3 is an outlay of £80 for a capable new phone.
Given the choice of the two, though, Nexus 4. |

I will have about £160 to spend. I have looked at Moto G but think the other two seem to have better specs although I am not great on technical stuff

But at least the Moto G will be brand new. And Tesco are selling the 16GB version for £129 (less £10 new customer discount). |
