How Raiken said already, Asus Zenfone 2 is a must buy at this moment. It's a budget phone with 2GB-4GB ram (depends on the model) and procesors from 1.8GHz to 2.3GHz from intel and it's under 300 bucks. The only problem with the phone is that the Android OS is very buggy and one of the most knows problem with it not only on Asus phones is that the battery drains fast because of the Android OS Lolipop 5.0, but after the 5.1 update it will be OK.
I own this phone and i can say i'm in love with it, the only problem how i said is the buggy android that drains my battery very fast.
