Best Android Under €100

TheCoolWay

Getting parent an android for xmas gift, need something that has a front facing camera, decent screen size (4.5) and 4g would be a bonus (not a priority). Any recommendations? (not ordering one of those chinese models, may try them for myself though at some point)

There is the Moto G 4G if you can stretch your budget a small bit. Great phone that's always being recommended round here.

landvo l200 but from reviews build quality not best and camera not great but gets good reviews for price

if you want 4g you get landvo l200g but 4gb less memory


what prepaid service has she got,look at companys website and buy 4g phone

unlocked nokia 520 would be ok but you need to buy microsd for more memory

moto g would be good but buy newest version

The Landvo is a Chinese Android phone though. Lots of people having SIM issues with it too, and you would be lucky to get it mid January if you ordered it now.

Can they do without the front camera? The Moto E is a great phone for the price.

I think the moto g at 99 is a good bet.

Not to mention the fact that 3 locked phones are near-impossible to unlock.

Motorola don't network lock their phones. It locks to the first sim put into the phone. And network locks do not variety from one network to another.

It is still €10 cheaper than 3, which was my main point.

Very easy to unlock any Android phone, all you got to do is root it, google it

Typo, should have been moto e.

That said, the moto g at 158 from meteor is a serious deal. And as I said before, it locks to the first sim you put into it so you can buy it in meteor, pop any sim in and you're good to go.

There's more than one version of the motog. 8/16 gb 3g or 4g 4.5" or 5"

There's the S3 mini or Ace 3 for about 80~99. They are older lesser phones though.
