$34 Smartphone Part II – Teardown

This particular phone was a poor choice.

It is very outdated from both a hardware and software perspective.

You can walk into any walmart or dollar store in the united states and buy a far more modern phone for $30

I suspect there were better choices in that market they bought it.

Is that actually $30 or subsidised $30?

How about a prepaid Android phone for $10? So, technically it is subsidized, but there is no contract to sign.

subsidised $30, but you can get it unlocked anyway usually
