Purchasing a new phone soon-need help

[Wajeeh Maaz]

Hi everyone,
I'm a dedicated Windows fan (who keeps his eye on the android market as well)
I am in the UK and my contract on my Lumia 635 is about to run out (am I glad! This phone has been good but it's had a lot of downsides that destroyed the experience entirely)
I am in the market for a new budget phone (?10-16 a month on contract or ?150-200 PAYG) and I need some help deciding.
I don't see any of Microsoft's new devices like the 650 or 550 worth going for (nope no snapdragon 210 for me please).
So I was wondering, should I look at Microsoft's older range (830 etc) or should I just buy a Moto G Plus?
Thanks

Do not understimate the 650, it's a nice little fast and great with his real oled screen. SD212 doubles SD400 with the half of battery drain

Yeah, true but the thing is it is ?150 and in a little over that I can get a Nexus 5X with a much better processor, twice the RAM, 1080p screen and a fingerprint sensor so I feel kinda stuck. I like W10M a lot but I don't see an entry point.

You can either try the 830, 73X or 640XL if you want to stick with WM. If not then the Moto X Pure/Play are good options for more or less similar price.
