    HI, new to smartphones and looking for a decent low end android that takes ok pics and is just, in general, ok! Any suggestions of little known Chinese etc brands that might be good? Looking at keeping the spend somewhere between 50-100 E. Am on a meteor simonly plan and want to keep that, so unlocking would be important probably. Any tips/knowledge grrrrreeeeatly appreciated!

    If you can go up to €175 getting the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 and unlocking it is a apparently a fantastic deal. (I heard about it after in retrospect overpaying for an Xperia Z2, so I can't personally comment on it.)

    The only good phone I know of under €100 is the Moto E.

    Xiaomi Redmi or Xiaomi Mi2 shouldn't be much above your budget.

    At €100 most things are going to be pure dirt, a €20-30 jump will make a big difference

    thanks all for your advice, went for a jiayu in the end as one of the lads who works with me has one and reckons it's grand.
    120 euro total including shipping and customs, we'll see how it goes!
