You don't need to go nearly that high. Right now, Tracfone has a sale for a SIM-locked refurb Android 8.1 phone for literally $5, and even outside of sales the low end is only about $20.
- swiley 6y agoI bought one as a balloon tracker the other year (I didn’t realize this was illegal). As soon as you connect it to a network (including WiFi) it will automatically download gigabytes of malware from the play store which will keep launching in the background and crashing things by using up all the ram. It was pretty eye opening to realize what people actually deal with if they can’t afford nicer phones and don’t know how to (or can’t) replace the firmware. Cheap android phones make cheap PCs look nice. Also an emulator or container is $0.
