Looking for a good budget phone around $200

[tendoboy1984]

My Blu Life One X's screen shattered and I need a replacement device. I can't decide between the Zenfone 2 Laser or the Honor 5X. Both are $200 on Amazon. The Laser has 3GB RAM/32GB storage, the Honor 5X has 2GB RAM/16GB storage. Both support 128GB SD cards.

Which is the better buy? I don't care about the whole "plastic vs metal" debate, I just want a good budget phone that works well. Both Honor and Asus have been good with software updates and bug fixes.

Just looking at the specs I'd lean more towards the Laser but that's just going by numbers and words, kind of hard to make a real-world determination without messing with both side by side.
