Samsung Galaxy J3, J5, A5 or Zenfone ZB500KL ?

help :(

edit 1: I see a lot of people picking ZenFone ZB500KL, despite the fact it has camera problems and a few minor glitches. I'd love to know why picking it over the others :D, but when you ask for too much in life, you usually get nothing D:

edit2: I made a huge hassle out of it because im a perfectionist... making the wrong choice would leave me very hollow inside and would probably make me very upset as well.

edit3: I might go for zenfone after all.

edit4: that pool makes it so hard for me :-/. I appreciate your help though <3

edit5: I've been thinking more. The Zenfone ZB500KL have won. Thank you everyone for helping me choosing it :)

Whats your budget?

The good old motorola is out of budget\not available ?

Reading from comp.specs I would go for Zenphone - replaceble battery.

Compare

I'm currently using a Xiaomi Redmi 3S, it's a beast, and it was about 110$.
Specs:

Resolution 720 x 1280 pixels
Octa-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53
IPS LCD
DUAL SIM
32 GB ROM
3 GB RAM
13M camera
Battery 4100mh

Pretty much worth at least twice of those phones, while costing between your budget

Asus Zenfones are good, I have a Zenfone 2 Laser, it works fine, has awesome camera (makes better pics than my digital camera lol), and its ultra fast.

i am presently using an a5 2016 and its fine so far. good battery, cpu good enough, good screen. a bit heavy and unconfortable for me at handling on the bad side.

I have an iPhone 5s which is really cheap now (your budget, you can get it new I think) and he do pretty well the job but I start desgusting the screen size :/ If it doesn't affect you . Also the A5 is good I think

You can't order phones straight from China?
There's plenty of cheap phones with decent hardware that you can order online from places like dealextreme etc.

Also, how much would you have to pay for a used Honor 7?
I bought mine new a few months ago for 199€ and it's pretty damn good for the price.

Well, I have J3 (2016), and I don't have any problems with it.

cheap =/= bad

If I had one advice to you it would be stay away from ASUS. Had a sad experience with Zenfone 2. I'm buying only Motorola/Lenovo now, despite them messing up with Moto G4+.

There is no clear win in this price range. Every smartphone at this price will either lack in build quality or internal hardware and most of them will probably have a shitty camera. I personally wouldn't spend less than 200$ on a smartphone.

I know I am not helping here, but those are mine 2 cents. I think I'd go with the one that has the best build quality.

I have Samsung J5 and I am pretty satisfied with it's performance. I don't know about your demand, but such stuff like Hearthstone flies fine on it, and for internet browsing or some software it is more than enough. I like late Samsung screens and options to save power Charges on my phone and tablet last for very long times (Like.. 2 weeks I guess. Useful for me because I forget to charge.) but they are often on power saving and I don't play much.
But I have no idea what "used" may imply. If battery is worn it may not be nice, otherwise would go for it.

Pump-a-Rum! Pickle-Pee!

bump is real

I personally would advise against zenfones...have bad experience with them myself. They have this kinda weird construction (their front panels aren't solid but instead made of two parts glued together) so the larger part of the front panel sometimes comes off and starts to stick out by 1 mm or so. Nothing critical but it makes further use somewhat uncomfortable.
