At $15, it's most likely subsidised (Tesco and ASDA carry them subsidised at exactly that pricepoint in the UK). Unlocked, it's twice that. Still cheap, but 3X

Still cheap, but 3X more expensive than the phone featured in the article. 3X is a lot.
- Aqwis 12y agoNo, I can buy the phone without any contract/subsidy for that price. Indeed, I don't think subsidised candybar-style phones are even sold here anymore. But even if it's $30 in the UK, are there really no (unlocked) phones available at a lower price-point?
- mseebach 12y agoFair enough. It's plausible - I have a few of the Samsung (unlocked) at roughly that price point, but they were cheap enough that I didn't bother to shop around.
