Looking for a new mid-range android smartphone

[GoBwah]

Hello everybody.
I'm on the hunt for a new smartphone to replace my old S2. I don't want to spend too much, so I've decided to go for something "mid-rangy".

At the moment I have my eyes on the following:
Samsung Galaxy S3 4G (I9305) - 1700 DKK (~290 USD)
Samsung Galaxy S4 4G (I9506) - 2400 DKK (~410 USD)

But I find it hard to navigate the smartphone world, so hopefully you can help me out. What are the best options for a budget around 400 USD? Keep in mind I have to buy it in Denmark, so it's a bit more expensive than in the US. Also there probably less of a selection, but we do have brands like Sony, HTC, LG and Nokia.
Or maybe I shouldn't even bother at the moment, and instead wait for better phones to drop in price?

I hope you can help me out!

I would go for either one of the nexus line if you want a pure android series. Go for the moto series if you want a near android which does not impact performance. The gs3 is good for basic things but tends to slow down when it has to do lots of multi task. I don't know about the s4 but there shouldn't be that much of a performance gap. l

I would go with the Nexus 5, it's around $400 and it's well worth it IMO. Specs are great, and the feel of the phone is great, not to mention it's getting the 5.0 Lollipop update soon.

if u want a budget one then go for motorola moto g (2014).Its quite good too and it will get latest android updates too.

If they sell this in your country go for the Samsung Galaxy A series. A-5 or A-7 great phone reliable, durable, and great battery life.Stay away from Sony pure junk now.

What is wrong with the A series Samsung makes. HTC a mediocre phone. reliability not good.

I am not a fanboy or Something. I just share my experience.
Besides it seems like you never use any other smartphone [Motorola,Huawei,Xiaomi] besides Samsung & HTC [may be you got a crappy model of HTC]
