Really Want a New Phone

Hi,I am currently using a Samsung Galaxy S3, with MetroPcs as a carrier, and the phone is a T-mobile phone.I think that the phone isn't very bad for such an older model of the Galaxy series, but I know for a fact that I am stuck with KitKat 4.3 with no hope of an upgrade and I would love to get a newer model , but have some things that are preventing me from being able to right now ,and I am very frustrated by this .I don't have very good credit at the moment , so buying one that way is out of the question ,and my only income is from SSD, and I don't make enough to cover all my bills and expenses every month ,and also purchase a pretty expensive phone .I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way that I could get a newer model Galaxy, or maybe a different , but decent other type of phone , that isn't as expensive as a brand new one , like maybe a refurbished one from a reputable place, or if I could work out a payment plan with a place that doesn't require you to have excellent credit. Thanks .

Probably wouldn't be able to afford more than $200 US. And I really would like to have more than 2 G of Ram, and 16 G of Rom. But I don't think there's anything available with that type of thing that wouldn't cost a lot more than $200.I also really like Samsung Galaxy phones , but I don't want one that doesn't have an SdCard option , or a non-removable battery.

Thanks for replying. But I'm not sure about switching to Boost, because I already have unlimited talk, text, and data with MetroPcs for $60 per month, most of which I probably don't even need. I have said before that I already have the S3, but I have a lot of apps, which I know take up a lot of space and can really use up the battery, so I'm constantly trying to get rid of the ones that are absolutely unnecessary, but can't do much about the bloatware unless I root the phone. I also have way too many pictures, wallpapers,quotes,memes,screenshots,etc.,and I know that all of these are using up my RAM.But the thought of just how long it will take to get rid of the things I do not really need is appalling to me.. I have started to get rid of some stuff, but have only scratched the surface and I don't know how to delete picasa pictures. Anyway, this is why I really would like a phone with more memory and storage capacity. Oh,and the Boost mobile plans where I live barely give you any data for a good price.

OK, so the first reply to clarify was to Doug's suggestion. This one is to Russlee. Thank you also for the suggestion to my dilemma. It sounds like the Huawei Honor 5 X would be nice if it has a 64 bit processer, as well as the other things you mentioned. Just to make sure though, that means that it's capable of holding more memory than the S3, right? I admit that I am still learning the differences between RAM, ROM, and other technical things related to computing. And I know that of course 64 bits will handle more than 32.For example, my phone says in the settings that I supposedly have a lot of room for storage, but hardly any RAM left, and I am not really sure what the difference is between the two. Anyway, even though I have grown kind of attached to my Samsung Galaxy, I will look at the Huawei, and see what I think. Oh, and I forgot to thank the first person to respond to my comment, so thanks to you too for your suggestions ,Mr. "Deactivated. "LMAO. Love your name, BTW.

I looked up the Huawei Honor 5 X on their website and it shows that there is only one device called "Honor, " and that was a laptop. Some of their phone names for example were: Mate 7 and 8,G 8,Mate S, and Nexus P, which all seemed like great phones but I'm guessing from the tech. specs and features are pretty expensive. Anyway, thank you for clearing up the difference between ram and rom.

I have both Dropbox and Google Drive, but I already have my stuff backed up to my laptop BTW. What I know I have to do is delete a lot of my pics, vids, quotes, memes, wallpapers, etc. But I have so many that it will take forever to get done. I have started to, but have barely scratched the surface. And I am pretty sure I have two entire discographies on my phone, but I think they're on the SdCard, which shouldn't affect the storage capacity of the phone, right?

Oh, and I have CCleaner as a task manager, because I was told that CM cleaner was a virus by my friend who works at the phone store. And I used to have it on a different phone, and it screwed up that phone really badly. I also have ES file explorer already, but have no idea what some of the things even are that are stored on the sdCard. So, I am afraid to get rid of them in case they are important.

I thank you for replying, but I would like a phone with more than 2GB of ram.

Thanks for replying but I already have a good data plan. I just wanted to see if I could get a decent phone that didn't cost a fortune.
