Fitbit Supported New Phone VS Any New Phone

I need a new phone pronto. I thought I might as well get a new phone that would sync with my Fitbit which would be great since I use my Fitbit so much and can't always have my laptop around. However, a lot less phones are supported than I thought (fitbit.com/devices). I only use Android phones, and I generally stick with a $100-$300 range on new phones. I can be really indecisive, so the list is somewhat helpful, but I don't want to buy too old of a phone. I currently use an LG and I like it, but I'm open to other manufacturers if they're equally good or better. Are any of the phones on the Fitbit Android list a favorite of yours that fits my needs? If not, I'll settle for just a new phone. Would you please share a phone that works best for a health-conscious person? Thanks.

As long as the phone is running Android 4.3 or higher there shouldn't be an issue except with the Blaze not using all features. If you shop around a Samsung Galaxy S5 can be found in your price range and will work fine.0

I have the BlackBerry PRIV, which is running the Android OS. Found it works great with my fitbit. Even when other Androids are having problems.0

Thanks so much for the advice!
I forgot to say, I have the Charge HR.0 -

I have the Charge HR, also. I've had the Samsung Galaxy S4 and S6 with it (I assume S5 would work, too). Also, if you're keen on LG, my kids have the LG2 (it's an older model, so price would be good for you), and the Fitbit app is available for it, too, so I assume it's compatible.
Like others have said, just make sure it's 4.3 or higher OS.1 -
