You shouldn't have invested in a windows phone. If you want a good budget phone, get the third gen Moto G, or Apple's pseudo budget iPhone, the SE.

Even MS isn't wasting more time on Windows mobile, it was completely missing from their 2016 build keynotes.

Not trying to dis the platform, but you can get MS best apps on either Android or iOS. For now, avoid WMP. In the future, the situation may change, and I personally think it will change for the better.

For good budget android phones, check the following smartphones:

Nexus 5x

Moto G third generation, Moto X pure edition.

From what I have seen, lag is the definition of cheap androind phones,  I won't sacrifice the smooth running windows phone due to the lack of some mainstream apps, for a cheap android phone ...

As for iphone SE, 399 euros, essentially, isn't a price of a  budget phone, its a low price for the iphone's own self...

You may wanna brush up on cheap android phones then.

Windows 8.1 mobile is smooth, if we are only or mostly talking about the operating system. Lots of third party apps run like shit. Most windows phone users here stated they don't care about apps, which is probably why they had no complaints. 

Windows 10 mobile shipped in a sorry state, I actually think the Lumia 950, which is NOT a budget phone, did more damage than good to the windows phone platform. Android has its problems, WM have double the problems.
