Motorola back in 2013 gave world probably the best affordable mid range smartphone- Motorola Moto G. Costing just 179 USD Moto G brings a lot to the table, the phone is made of polycarbonate but dont let that fool you as the phone is very well built and doesn’t feel cheap at all. The phones has got two variants available, a 8gb and a more modest n forgiving 16gb.
There is a 4.5 inches 720P display that is very bright n color neutral and provides plenty of details. Having a compact screen helps in easy one use. There is 2070 mah battery to keep the lights on. A fairly capable 5.0 Megapixel camera for the price takes good pictures, but suffers in low lighting.The phone is running near stock 5.1 lollipop.
It is an old device but still can get the job done, currently available for only 99 USD on ebay is surely a steal.
