6 Best Phones That Aren't Samsung or iPhone

Good phones, great prices.

You've been holding off on buying a new phone for a while.

"Just a few more months," you tell yourself. "Besides, my current phone still works." You're right, but only technically. The screen is cracked, the audio jack is busted, and the battery drains three times faster than it used to. It's finally time to bite the bullet. A Samsung Galaxy or the newest iPhone are the obvious options, but they're also pricey and don't necessarily fit your mobile needs. Here are some alternatives:
