Hello
I am looking for a phone that cost around 100 bucks (or more but less than 150) that has 1GB of RAM. Is there any phone like that? Please suggest me! As I did some research, Huawei Y300 seems pretty good but it has only 512mb Ram.
Many thanks.
Low cost Android phone

NOTABLY, it only has 512MB RAM though.This one has 1GB, and costs 115 smackers:

Another option is

or
http://www.geekbuying.com/item/NO-1-S7-PRO-I9600-5-0Inch-MTK…It's a 1:1 ratio Galaxy S5 clone so any S5 accessories (cases, etc) should also work with it.
Doesn't look too bad, but if you scroll to the bottom (under the pictures), it seems to be only 1GB of Ram, 4GB of rom, and 854*480 resolution screen.
Hmm.. the review says it is 1GB Ram and 4GB ROM also. The review also says that the display is clear but comments suggest the screen may not be what it says it is, neither is the camera. Some say battery is fine others say it is not but you just get a new one from Amazon, which they say works fine.
Lack of reviews on this thing though. Here is a more in depth one
Can we trust these brands guys? Since I would be willing to pay for longer lasting phone :-? Huawei seems to be the most trusty brand in China :-? I think the G526 would be perfect if the price goes down to 130 or less :(
I own a 'chinese' phone, and it hasn't broken yet. As long as you don't drop it on concrete, you should be fine.
A thing to note is the 3G frequency bands on most chinese phones (850/2100), which means 3G won't work very well with optus.
A chinese phone will offer best value but if you don't trust them, just keep looking on ozbargain for a special.
Lenovo is also another brand you should look into. They recently acquired Motorola from Google., however Lenovo has been making phones for quite some time now. I had one and thought the build quality to be on-par with Huawei's.
Try Lenovo A820

Dick Smith had the G526 for half-price ($99) several months ago.
www.ozbargain.com.au/node/122008You might get lucky. Maybe not that lucky, but you never know.
One very lucky OP, if he gets in quick. There'll be lots of brodenesque ebay reselling going on after that sale, I reckon.
Bad luck for me, I went to buy and its out of stock, however I may get xperia M with 25$ unlock code. Actually I buy this for a missy haha
Best bang for the buck smart phone on the market… Huawei G526 $89
