  Are you sure? I think the one sold for 19.75 was Vodafone smart mini 4?

  Pretty similar to the good ole Pixi 3 4.5 sold for $35 a year or so ago. But no Band 28 / 5" IPS screen/ newer Android on the U5. I'd give it a miss.

  Still looking for an 'all bands' budget phone to replace my Pixi 4.5… still looking. Sony Xperia is out with no accelerometer (HJ Shake&Win doesn't work)… the humanity!

    Yeah, same (low) resolution, just a little bigger.
    Last xmas, the VF Y6 elite (5" 720p) got down to $89, $99, with $50 gift card and $40 starter-pack (i.e. -1$, 9$).
    Maybe something similar, somewhere, this year too? (unless exchange rates)

  The real killer is 1Gb ram, 8Gb storage (about 3.8Gb usable). I have found with several phones now that once a few updates for the standard Google apps and the pre-installed apps are installed that the 8GB phones run out of storage and/or become very slow just before running out.

    Agreed. With Marshmallow being able to use microsd as part of its internal storage, does that help?

      hmmm, the phones it has happened to were earlier than Marshmallow.

      It would be interesting to hear what the performance is like with these phones then. I would still be worried about 1GB of RAM.
