What WP phone to buy for up to $200?

[Windows Central Question]

I want to buy new phone for up to $200. The only thing I need for my new phone is to be better than or as good as Lumia 925. Any tips?

What carrier, and where?

A used 930 or a very good 830. Also, you can get a used 1520. I would advice you to wait for the 640 though that will be one of the best midrange devices. Check the marketplace and eBay

The funny thing is... Any carrier or Play and location is Poland. I just want to grab a phone for up to $200, ?130 or my local equivalent.

The other funny thing is that I don't like used technology. I love to unwrap the box and tear plastic protector off my screen. 640 is currently availble for 670 PLN (180 USD) in local Microsoft Store. Shoud I get it?

If you can find a 735 or 830 new for $200 then I would definitely say get that over the 640...They are better/higher quality for several reasons... But if you can't then the 640 is indeed the next best thing

Ok. I think I will go with 735 then. It's for $185 in local currency here. And I bet this is the best offer I can get. And the great thing about Europe is that the tax is already included in all prices

735 is a great phone... A lot of people say they like the 735 more than the 830, since the 830 barely offers much more than the 735 but costs a lot more ..and in plus the 735 is amoled which looks better on windows phones than LCD in my opinion,and the 735 has a higher PPI than the 830 while still being modernly large sized
