Looking for a new smartphone that allows me to play PoGo smoothly

Hello everyone.
My old LG L70 has just died, and I was looking forward buying a new mid-range phone. After some scrolling and reading reviews, I'm indecisive among 3 phones with similar characteristics, so I wondered if any of you use them and could provide some info about their performance with the game.
Those phones are Huawei P8lite, Huawei Y6II(2016) and Samsung Galaxy J5 (compact?). All of them are about 200$, which is what I'm willing to spend (not very into phones)

Also, if you have experience with similar phones that are efficient at hunting and battling let me know.

Thanks and happy grass hunting!

Not sure how much you're willing to spend, but I have the one plus 3t and it runs it perfect. The one plus 3 is a bit cheaper and pretty much the same specs, so that's also a good option.

Thanks. I was thinking about 200$ as my ceiling. That's why I'm asking about these 2gb phones, since I guess the 4+gb ram ones will perform more than just fine. I will edit the post for making it clear.

Lg power x gives me minimal issues. Every once in a while I click on a mon and the game freezes but I think it's a connection issue more than a phone issue. About $215

I see s8 commercials running constantly, I'm sure the s7 line will drop significantly once or twice soon if they haven't already. Those are great phones. The "S7 active" especially. Don't even have to buy a case for it.

My gf has has dropped hers on the concrete many times with no scratches, turbo charging, big battery, good ram, etc.

DO not buy j5. My gf bought it as her first smart phone and it crashes like maniac, laggs lasts 5-40sec and its slow. She almost stopped playing pogo because of that.

I spent 330e on samsung s6 and game runs smoothly enough without crashes or freezes. What I mean is that 200e phone is not capable to run pogo more than few months.
Edit. + I found military grade case for s6. You cant broke your phone with it. https://griffintechnology.com/us/survivor-all-terrain-for-samsung-galaxy-s6

Thanks for the advice. What do you mean exactly by "200e phone is not capable of run pogo more than a few months"?

If you haven't been on swappa.com, I'd look into it. it's a reliable buy and sell site with verified sellers.
yeah they're used but most are in great condition and I've never had a problem.
I have a used samsung galaxy s5 and it works great. Never had a problem playing. You can get the s6 for right around 200 I believe. Check it out, they have a ton of options
