If you aren't worried about dropping your phone or damaging it, buy an iphone but not the newest model, if you want to get performance for value buy a samsung or something else, you can shop around for different brands and a lot of the lesser known ones are actually really well designed, I have a samsung galaxy S4 and have been using it for years, i don't play games or anything with it as its a phone, i use it for calls, contacts, pictures and occasionally maps.
