Looking for a cheap Android phone.

[DevanArianne]

My wife needs a new phone and we want to get her an android one. Out budget is around 80 dollars for a no contract phone. We've done a little research but it's been so long since I've investigated phones that I don't know what is good in this price range. Any suggestions y'all could give would be great.

 

IT doesn't need to be super powerful or the highest res screen. Just something sturdy and dependable.

there isn't really anything very sturdy or dependable for $80 TBH

if you can muster up a little bit more dollars.. the only budget phone that i can recommend is the Moto G.

 

but if that is too expensive try to find a used galaxy S3 or a Sony Xperia T. these used to be very high end phones a while ago.

 

the reasoning is that at $80 you are really not getting your moneys worth. just save up or spend a little bit more for a Moto G. that is one of the best android phones around.

 

also to take note is that motorola is set to release a new version of the moto g. that means the old one will probably drop in price soon. (next month or so)

this? You not going get anything good around 80 dollars or less. I suggest save up more money to get one.

Location? In my locality, you can get a decent phone for around that price, but as everyone else said, it won't be dependable, and there will be compromises everywhere on the thing...

 

An LG L3 would be the lowest costing one that I can recommend you (since I use one personally)...

there is nothing that is worth the time and money at 80 let alone sturdy and dependable

Get $20 more, and get a Moto G from Boost mobile for $100. I got it, and I absolutely love it. Best $100 i've ever spent.

that is the only budget phone that i can recommend. i have used it for over 5 months and my mom is using it now(her first smart phone and she loves it) and i was blow away buy how good it was. and how good it stacked up to the $700 phones. i mean that display man.... even some high end phones does not have that good of a screen.

Thank you everyone. Think we're gonna go with the moto G, seems the best option for our price range. Able to find it for 75$

Save up a bit more and get the Moto E, G is a bit more expensive than E but E is still reliable.

If you can settle for a windows phone, it'll be fast, dependable, sturdy, and cheap. http://www.amazon.com/Nokia-Lumia-T-Mobile-Cell-Phone/dp/B00HALU3FE/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=undefined&sr=1-2&keywords=nokia
