Anyone run any off brand android phones?

Looking to get a phone for my personal stuff. I just have a work phone now so don't even need a plan (wifi is fine) but would like to load all my personal apps on it and keep the work phone just for work stuff.

I was looking at some android phones on amazon and they have some by Blu and UMIDIGI. They have some for around $100-150 that seem to boast great specs but not sure how they stand up to real life.

Not looking to spend over $200 on this it's just for kicking around some social media apps and check email etc

I'm on Asus for years, I've got a more premium one but my father-in-law has a basic one and he's been happy

If you have a costco membership, look at the moto or the samsung phone. They're fairly cheap and I *think* it comes with an extra year warranty ontop of it.

i'm running huawei p10 and i like it. my friend has the xiaomi a2 and likes it as well. he actually got it for free because they refunded him after it didn't show up after a month. probably because of the bullshit that was going on with canada post. regardless the phone came shortly after the refund. lol

OnePlus 6T for me. Runs well, fast, lots of updates and battery life is amazing, can finish the day with well over 50% left with decent amount of use.

I have a Oneplus 5t that I've had over 1yr now and it's good. Before this I had a ZTE Axon that was pretty decent. I just got tired of budget phones so I went with a more premium budget phone which is my oneplus lol. Before the ZTE I had a zenphone. That was complete trash. I hated that thing.
