In the UK I found the "Moto G (2nd Gen) 4G with LTE" filled all these criteria for £150 (ca $220), though it is on the big side. This was way cheaper than any other phone with these features. Here is the link to the US version which at the time of writing is $100

what is the RAM and internal memory?

hope it has 3 gb and has 16gb?
It has 2Gb and and sd memory slot.

this page says it has only 1gb ram??

 please advise if it is 1gb or 2gb?

internal memory it says 4gb

I need ideally 3gb ram and 16 gb min internal memory.  I do not think this fit my requirement
Huawei have very nice phones at very attractive prices.

The P8 is my next phone if they don't bring out something else in the next 2 months..

Why do you need 3Gb internal memory?

To wit - my question at the beginning: Which is most important?   Best   OR  Cheap. They are not the same.
@John - Got you ;) Agreed that there is no such thing as a cheap and best phone....

Note that you will not find a 3Gb internal memory phone from Samsung or any prime brand out there for $200. What you are asking is not possible.

i can stretch till 300 if i get samsung ?
No. Cheapest is a Note 4 which is around $500.

Repeat: Why do you need 3Gb internal memory?

to put lot of applications on the phone may be around 50
I have a basic Android phone with 1Gb of internal memory that has about 100 applications. I don't see why you would require a 3Gb phone for 50 applications. As said, you would need to change some of your requirements or bite the bullet (spend more money). Any further thoughts are welcome, I'm thinking that you won't get different views than already offered above.
What you might consider doing is look for an upscale device on eBay. You might get what you want used at a price you are willing to spend.

my current samsugn galaxy mobile has 4gb internal memory and 1gb ram. surprisingly it wont take more than 5 applications and freezes up on me. even though it has 32gb external memory card i cannot use that to install apps. please advise
Freezing up means that something is probably wrong with it or the memory card. But that is a different question, your question about best and cheap smart phone has been answered, right?
