There are cheaper phones, it's not hard to find pretty good phones that are around 70 euros.

  Why don't you use those ones, out of curiosity?

    Because they're often full of malware or bloated with other stuff.

      > Because they're often full of malware or bloated with other stuff. I wonder why they're able to be sold more cheaply?

        One thing of note is that many of the cheapo Android phones that are also high-spec don't necessarily come with malware from the factory - that $79 price is the real price, running AOSP. They will happily sell you it for the real price! But if you live in a different country, your only choice might be through reshippers/resellers, who will root the phone and install their own malware onto the system partition for $1 in profit, seal it back in its box, without the factory's knowledge. This happens somewhat-frequently.
