I picked up a ZTE Axon 7 for $400 about a year ago. It has been great. Not perfect. But for the money, hard to beat. My HTC One M7 kept needing new charging ports. After the 3rd failure, I gave up on it and did not want to spend $600+ on a new phone. It has a 2 year factory warranty also should I need it.

I will not touch anything that says Samsung on it. I do not want to jump into Apple land. I just do not see much value in a $800 device that you will replace again 2 years or less. I wish Google would have priced the Pixel in the same range as they had the Nexus branded devices. I would have picked one up. Bummer.
