As with any purchase, what matters most is how you intend to use the technology. If you like taking pictures, then the most important things will be the camera features on the phone. All three phones have eight megapixel cameras, front-facing cameras, and LED flash, but only the LG G2 Mini has an autofocus feature built in. If you would rather watch movies and other content, the OPPO Find 7 Mini has the best pixel density of the three, so when you are watching content the colors will appear to be more vivid. People who like to run multiple apps would enjoy the processing power of the HTC Desire 616.
Final Thoughts
I like to run apps on my phone for just about everything from playing games to finding directions. I would go with the LG G2 Mini. It has the latest Android software installed, so it should be able to run any application on the market. It also has 8 gigabytes of internal storage to save all my apps so I will not have to choose between them. You can also add another 32 gigabytes of external storage via micro SD. That is why I think it is the best phone for the price.
