Please Recommend an Android Phone to Use and Develop On

Hi there! After some time off, I'm finally going to be able to purchase an Android phone which I plan to make games on. The thing is, I'm very new when it comes to mobile phones. My knowledge about them is very outdated. What I need to know is what brand or model of Android phone I should be looking for that would go well with developing games using Unity 4.3.

I tried to research earlier but I was flooded with all sorts of Android models and brands and it just left me confused. I asked some people and someone recommended me this:

Code (csharp):

1. http://mashable.com/2014/01/31/moto-g-review/

A Moto G Android phone. Do you think that's good enough to develop games on? If I make a decently optimized simple game and it works on that, it should also work in every other brand or model of Android phones right?

Anyway in short:

1. I'm only planning to buy an Android phone for the purpose of developing games for it. I don't need contracts and other aesthetic things/extras that have no relation when it comes to playing games on the Android phone.

2. My budget is around the $200 mark, but I'd be willing to spend a little more if it means that the performance of the Android phone I'll be getting is similar to what a lot of Android phone owners have (because in the end, I want them to be playing my games).

Thanks in advance, and yes, when it comes to mobile phones, you can say I'm still stuck in the stone age

 

No. Don't expect that your game will work with ALL Android devices. That is not going to happen. It is just better to target the most common Android phones
