Looking for Budget Phone on MetroPCS <$200 OoP

[gener21839]

What phones should I consider buying (<$200 out of pocket)?

I currently have an Optimus F6 and I'm sick of dealing with Link2SD; it gets buggy and I have to reset the phone every few months so that it properly registers available memory.

I'm willing to buy used unlocked phones, but I fancy the metro app (that tells me how much data I've used) and the visual voicemail, so what I'm saying is that I'll consider the phones available both on/off their website.

My main concern is the internal memory, really--a pretty low standard, I hope. I figure that 8GB is enough to hold out another year or so.

Bonus points for a good audio amp and 4G LTE availability. I thought about getting an iPhone 4S, but I'd prefer to stick to Android.

Any suggestions?

I've owned a lot of good phones - Note 2, Note 4, Moto X, and currently an HTC 10 - but the LG G Stylo that I bought from Metro PCS is the best phone I've had for the price. I don't think 8GB is enough internal memory; you need at least 16GB. Also, you don't have to buy a phone from Metro in order to use Visual Voicemail and My Data. I'm using a factory unlocked HTC 10 on Metro and both apps work fine.

In using the Nexus 5X. And the Metro app to view data usage is available on the Play Store. I have it on my phone.

I ended up going with the LG G3 (LG D851) for $146.13 thanks to "Woot!"

I checked out the phones and did google searches--(phone vs phone) searches.

Seeing as how I can cancel the order for the next day or so, I'm open to ideas if anyone has any alarming info.

I'm seeing LG G3's for $99 and G4's for $179. I am resisting the urge to make an unnecessary purchase lol
