Luigme I am actually using one of them now. I just wanted to note its biggest downside for those who are considering the purchases. they are fully functional and economic phones but with low quality camera.
Fun Fact: the phone only has 4 GB of storage data. Let me also add that about 1 GB is used to run the phone, and 2 GB for all the apps permanently on there, like all the google apps, so _it's rocking a smooth 1 GB of in-storage data. Hi I'm Austin Evans_
Bhavesh Bharambe Think about his job ... why would he use anything other than a flagship as his daily? That's like saying if you work in video editing and are impressed by a £500 PC, why not use that over your £2000 rig.... You can like something and recommend it for average users, but if you are not one of said average users, it is unrealistic to expect it to work for you. This should not need explaining, just FYI
I used the Desire for a couple months before upgrading to a Samsung Galaxy A5 for the price i'd say it's a quality phone and had little to no complaints especially seeming it was on Android 6.0.
After having spent my life with shitty budget phones like the Galaxy Ace2 or Galaxy Star or Cubot Zorro (lol) i can confidently say the 700 bucks for my S7 are TOTALLY worth it, period.
True, but everyone at school is going to think you're poor if you don't have an iPhone, I mean, personally I don't give a shit about that, it's just society
Nabish It's sad. It seems like poeple are just brainwashed with Apple and it's unfair to other phone companies who come out with revolutionary products and they don't get the spotlight like Apple. The iPhone 6S is an amazing phone, don't get me wrong, but I'd prefer a Pixel as my next upgrade... Although, I don't have a choice, really. I don't want to neglect and waste my $350 Apple Watch when it's time for a new phone.
Dont get me wrong I know the iphone is a better experience, but removable storage, removable battery, and support for emulators like snes to play super mario all stars on the go is technically more functionality. Not to mention widgets and customization android offers are all technically functionality that the Iphone 7 doesnt have.
Yea, but to void your warranty just to get features other phones already have seems a little ridiculous to me. Also jail breaking undoubtedly makes your phone less stable.
Fals3Agent Lol sorry i didn't think before speaking. Besides, what do you mean we have better phones in India?? Other than it being unlocked, what is better??
AG Cuber I dunno, doesn't Micromax do a decent job in India? I was happy using a Micromax when I was there. You guys get Xiaomi and Motorola too, both of which are much better than these phones here.
Removable batteries weren't a big deal the day I replaced the battery off my 2 year old note 4 and said... By the power of rejuvenation. My phone has been rejuvenated
kanishq ruhil www.change.org/p/samsung-new-s-note-by-samsung-with-removable-battery-microsd-and-ir-blaster This is a petition I've made to bring back removable battery and IR Blaster and Keep micro SD card. Can you sign it If interested and spread the word ? Thanks a lot!!!!
I agree Austin, I've had a Note 5, S5, S6 edge, etc. and I keep selling my premium phones and returning to a budget phone because of how much I save $$100s and how they do everything I need them to do.
Yes, he WANTS money to pay his bills. Thats why I have a job, because I want money to pay my bills. Without a job, PPsssshh, im fine, I grow money on trees.
Esaul44 eBay, make sure the seller has a good rating but the Moto X is wonderful at least thus far. The battery life is impressive I get 4+ hours screen on time, and that includes 3 hours of UA-cam. It charges quite quick as well.
I know this is a promotional video, but I'm not sure why a tech enthusiast would go with them. They seem to charge $30 for 1GB of LTE, while T-mobile's prepaid deal on their website bags you a full 5GB for that amount.
Mark Smith no it doesn't I have both T-Mobile and metro PCs phone both have 3gig LTE network but my metro has unlimited text and call while my T-Mobile is limited plus my metro costs 45$ and my T-Mobile 55$
lol corporation I'm saying this out of personal experience. My family has two 100 min calls / unlim sms / 5GB $30 prepaid plans from T-mobile. I didn't realise about the unlimited calls on Metro PCS, but who really cares about that nowadays?!
RandomLegos Why do you respond to a comment 7 months ago? Are you fucking stupid? The iPhone 4 is just around 100€ now, It's the smallest phone in history. You live in the 90s dude.
Here is tip used phones I bought a motorolla droid turbo for 140$ its basically new trust me you cannot get that level of power any where in a new phone we are talking snapdragon 805 3 gig ram 1440p amoled 21 back 2 front front facing speaker
no it's not luck I bought it 2 months ago recently the price dropped now it's available for under a 100$ easily if you bargain you could probably get it for 70$
I had the HTC Desire 530 back in the day haha. Was just watching nostalgia videos on old phones I had. This was actually the last like cheaper/ midrange phone I had. Got it for like $120 or something in 2016 from Verizon, had it till like March 2017 and got the original MotoZ which was Moto's flagship of the time, then after that an s10+ and now I've had my s22u since last year. What is blowing my mind is that, fr the HTC was a pretty usable phone for basically $100 and it's just crazy that back then $100 could do that. I had come from an iPhone 5c which was like the cheap iPhone of the time, think it was like $400 or something back then, but in all reality aside from camera I remember the HTC basically doing everything the iPhone could do for again $100. My MotoZ was $799, my s10+ was $1100, and my s22u was a whopping $1,599 for the 512gb version, although Verizon did let me get it for the price of the 256gb version for the preorder, and then they gave me $1,000 for my s10+ as a trade in. I also have an iPhone 14 Pro I use for my work phone and that mf was $1100. Now a days midrange Android phones are like $500 minimum, but they literally perform at the same level a flagship did 2-3 years ago it's crazy. But theres not really any $100 options anymore that are usable which sucks for people low on money, but for $400-$500 you can get a reeeeally decent option, honestly some options better than base modle iPhones for price to features 🤷🏻♂️
You get one gig of high speed data, but after you finish that 1 gig, they will take down your speed and give you dial up speed. Your phone essentially becomes useless once you have the dial up speed.
I got my zte blade spark for 99$ and it's amazing. It has a finger print sensor, 16 gigs upgradable to 128, quad-core processor, 1080 display, 5.5" display, 3100 mAh battery, etc... So glad I chose Android over IOS
Some Person I wanted a cheap phone because I assumed it would be good enough, and the Note7 was out of stock, and thanks to the recall, I waited a long while until I finally got the Note5 after this POS shattered after being dropped off a table.
the real use I find for a lanyard, is to be able to pull stuff out of my pocket without putting my whole hand or fingers into my pocket. It's just easier and honestly kind of fun
IGDGaming You can always bring expensive or better smartphones to metro PCs too. just letting you know because most of these phones aren't actually as good as they seem in his glowing sponsored reviews.
The K10 feeling snappier, eh? Makes PERFECT sense... The HTC is rocking a Snapdragon 210 with a PATHETIC Cortex-A7 32-Bit... Galaxy On5, which has a custom Exynos SoC... Exynos are fast, right? In this case, WRONG... The 3475 is the same as Snapdragon 210 albeit with a stronger GPU than SD210... The K7 is no comparison... It has 64-Bit Cortex-A53s which are roughly 30% more powerful than A7s... And lets not forget the fact that its a 64-Bit SoC so it'll be overall smoother than 32-Bit...
R. Antonio M.S. I Agree With You On 64 Bit Part Bit Represent That How Many Type Of "Numbers" could be read or write, however it's ACTUALL purpose Is Supporting More Tam, Since 32 bit Supports only4 GB ram (I think) while 64 bit Supports A LOT MORE RAM (I don't remember specifically). So it DOES NOT have a good use unless the mobile have more than 4 gb of RAM. Sooooo it actually IS GIMMICKY
Adam Kane it has a few kinks over time, the normal temperature sensitivity. I recommend getting a good case. But for the price it is awesome. I recommend buying a newer HTC phone for a slightly better camera. I have no real complaints. ( the screen is also sensitive on the 530, if your head phones touch it may select something at random. But that's it.)
I’ve definitely purchased a couple phones in this price range for my mother and the LG’s have been way easier to deal with. Not all apps can go on an SD card so Samsung always run out of space really quick.
I have the HTC phone. Let me tell you, it is SO sturdy and durable. I can through it across the room, and no damage done. I have abused this phone, and since I've gotten it, all I've done in damage is scratching the corners.( I got it from my mother, and it was already cracked, but hasn't spread, and honestly I don't know what she had to do to crack it.) So if you have a problem with breaking phones, this HTC is definitely the phone for you! The only problems I have with it are that the camera is not so good, and it can get slow sometimes, but that's about it. Hope this helps anyone on the edge about getting one of these new phones. 😊
Clous von or by locally used if you know what to look for. ive so far bought an s7 edge with minor cracks and it was google locked( i bypassed it) for 120 and recently got an s7 for 90 and google locked as well. you just have to be patient.
Redmi note 3 is the best phone 200 dollars -3gb ram -32gb -snapdragon 650 -4000 mha -1080p -403p -finger print sensor -16 megapixel camera - and more..... I have it, is the best
I'm looking at that and leaning more to it than any other I can find without going past $300. How long have you had it for and do you recommend it entirely?
angel Calderón ZTE ZMAX PRO $100, 13 megapixel, 32Gb internal storage, 2Gb ram, 3500mhp battery, 6" screen, full hd 1080p resolution. half price if someone looking for cheaper alternative
ZTE Zmax pro! bargain of the decade! 124 dollars after tax, 6' inch 1080 screen, 2 gb of ram, 13 MP (phase detection and manual control options, slow mo) 5 MP front, solid speaker with Dolby Atmos digital built in, 3400mah battery, freaking finger print sensor that always works, plastic frame but with metal flakes paint that makes it feel like metal and solid feeling all around, gorilla glass 3 on front! Oh yeah and last but not least a 1.5 GHz octacore Snapdragon 617! Very snappy and great screen! It's not just great for the price ,it's a very capable and pretty powerful and easily competes with devices costing 4 times as much. It's a premium mid ranger or even slightly below only because of having 2 gb of ram but if manged properly that doesn't take away from the overall experience! I'm saying all this because it's went from my Note 5 that stopped working to this as my back up phone and i do the feel the need to fix and use the Samsung at all. In fact it doesn't really feel any different as far as speed and performance goes into real world usage and this has a much bigger screen but doesn't feel too big for me! It doesn't have NFC but u really never used it anyways. It even has a gyroscope and uses USB type C! I think that's about it but it really think this is the best option out there all things considered! There isn't another device out there at this price range that offers everything this does. There you go....
American phone companies can't compete with Chinese phone companies when it comes to providing more of a bang for your buck. I recommend doing some more research on xiaomi, umidigi, honor, and dogee which are are very big on budget phone's.
andrew barralaga More cores means multitasking would be a lot smoother, but yes, I agree. Maybe less cores, and more focused power would make performance in games a lot better.
I got super excited watching this video cause getting such good phones for $80, that's a steal. I opened up the amazon app, was about to order the HTC phone you showcased here. But then came the shocker, the HTC Desire 530 costs $188.47 in India :-/ For $80, we could get a Chinese clone from Indian companies like Micromax, Lava, Intex, etc.
Yes, they can. In HTC you can use SD card as internal memory. For example if you have 16gb SD card you can format it and have 32gb for apps, games and other stuff.
sevan grigoryan dont listen to sponsored vids. instead, try to find phones by specs, comments and research. these phones are complete crap. I bet if you Install 5 apps, they would already crash. so I have 3 things: -doogee x5(50$) or x5 pro(80$) 1gig ram. 2gigs ram. it is slow, bad graphics, poor battery life, but it is definitely better (I mean, maybe) than the phones the youtuber mentioned. I already had one. if you use it only for basic actions, such as calling, SMS, playing clash royale, its pretty worth it.DONT BUY IT TO YOUR SON(if you have one) -umi touch(140$ at aliexpress) fast, but the camera is awful. if you move a little bit, the photo becomes messy. but it can handle asphalt 8 at high settings.(if you don't install a lot of shit apps.) you can still install many games and apps, but every machine gets slower when storage and ram full. 3gigs of ram. Also, it has a day long battery life(4000 mAh). it charges slowly (3-6hours until 100% but definitely worth it.) it can MAYBE resist from a direct spray but I am NOT sure. -leeco max2(something like 200$) it got pretty high specs, but the battery is smaller than umi touch. and has no screen protection. apparently, it is hard to bend, but I didn't get much info of that phone. think twice before believing to reviews. tests may be fake, but so.e of them are informative.
T-Mobile and its subsidiary, MetroPCS, don't do overage fees for consuming more data than your data plan. Instead, they cap the data speeds after you hit your monthly cap to around 2G speeds which is around 128 kbps, making it unbearable to use but at least they don't charge overage fees.
The first gig is full speed and the rest they slow it down unbearably to the point where it's dial up speed. I think you still get charge for it but at least it won't be that bad
The Spark Nope, I use prepaid service through Verizon.. unlimited talk and text with 3gb data for $45. So the phone I ordered is through Verizon as a locked device. I saw some unlocked to slightly more but nothing over $100.
The phones storage sucks though. I paid 200 dollars for it and I got 16gb. The expandable memory is useless, it is not possible to move apps to the SD card in a LG k10. Other than that the phone is pretty decent.
The fact that you'd truly say and or believe that these phones are even relatively close to being anywhere near a flagship in comparison is utter mularky. It truly told me all I need to know to make a decision to continually watch your channel.
Which would you save more? 80 Dollar phone and replace it every 6 months or 800 dollar phone and replace it every 2 years? Still the cheaper phone lol.
~_MrYondaime705_~ $800 phone...bcoz it gives butter smooth performance for at least 2-2.5 yrs...and with flagship phones u get all round experience like performance,camera,screen quality etc...i will go with the flagship only...right now i'm using moto x style/pure since a year and it still performs like a charm....
Maybe you got a bad one? I have one, and it's great. Only problems are the bad-ish camera and sometimes it can get slow. It rarely gets warm or turns of randomly.
Austin is getting bigger and bigger. Lifting those gaming PCs are giving him some gains.
his shirts just get smaller and smaller
lol
S Lynch those bulging muscles and veins
Taylor Williams remember when he actually looked like a techie?
but is his dick strong?
The only downside of the cheap smartphone is its camera.
Diego H. Yeah true
One Plus 3t isnt like that tho
Luigme I am actually using one of them now. I just wanted to note its biggest downside for those who are considering the purchases. they are fully functional and economic phones but with low quality camera.
You really think that classifies as a "cheap phone"? The fcuk of a comparison is that?!
Dennis Premoli LOL what is up with this rage? The target comparison can be found in the video as well.

1 gb of data...... thats terrible. some apps use that in a matter of minutes
If you're so impressed why don't you use the Desire as your daily driver for a couple of months 😂

I second this.

they actually aren't that fun.

Yea, but to void your warranty just to get features other phones already have seems a little ridiculous to me. Also jail breaking undoubtedly makes your phone less stable.
In India these phones are not at all value for money.
AG Cuber what does Modi have to do with this? anyway you guys have better phones in India and they're unlocked unlike the US
Fals3Agent Lol sorry i didn't think before speaking. Besides, what do you mean we have better phones in India?? Other than it being unlocked, what is better??
Fals3Agent Yeah dude that's why I said that these phones are not value for money
The currency conversion sucks. the value is not there, meant as in value in localized currency.
AG Cuber I dunno, doesn't Micromax do a decent job in India? I was happy using a Micromax when I was there. You guys get Xiaomi and Motorola too, both of which are much better than these phones here.

RAYDi8OR if it u get Chinese brand phones for $100 you can get a beast of a phone!
Adam Goodyer Well I got a LG G4 but I feel cheap smartphones are not million miles away in terms of specs.
A $100 phone now is a $600 phone from 2011... Most of those remind me of my old Galaxy S2.

I got a refurbished Moto X (2013) for 60 bucks, extremely snappy and the perfect size screen.

Esaul44 eBay, make sure the seller has a good rating but the Moto X is wonderful at least thus far. The battery life is impressive I get 4+ hours screen on time, and that includes 3 hours of UA-cam. It charges quite quick as well.
It can easily make it though the day if you don't play hours and hours of UA-cam like I do.
Bryan G. the Moto G is great as well
Bryan G. What will you do about Android updates tho?

actually you are not just paying 1gb of LTE for $30 it comes along with unlimited calls and text. makes sense?
lol corporation I'm saying this out of personal experience. My family has two 100 min calls / unlim sms / 5GB $30 prepaid plans from T-mobile.

"phones these days are way too big"
has iPhone seven plus
I had the HTC Desire 530 back in the day haha. Was just watching nostalgia videos on old phones I had. This was actually the last like cheaper/ midrange phone I had. Got it for like $120 or something in 2016 from Verizon, had it till like March 2017 and got the original MotoZ which was Moto's flagship of the time, then after that an s10+ and now I've had my s22u since last year. What is blowing my mind is that, fr the HTC was a pretty usable phone for basically $100 and it's just crazy that back then $100 could do that. I had come from an iPhone 5c which was like the cheap iPhone of the time, think it was like $400 or something back then, but in all reality aside from camera I remember the HTC basically doing everything the iPhone could do for again $100. My MotoZ was $799, my s10+ was $1100, and my s22u was a whopping $1,599 for the 512gb version, although Verizon did let me get it for the price of the 256gb version for the preorder, and then they gave me $1,000 for my s10+ as a trade in. I also have an iPhone 14 Pro I use for my work phone and that mf was $1100.
Now a days midrange Android phones are like $500 minimum, but they literally perform at the same level a flagship did 2-3 years ago it's crazy. But theres not really any $100 options anymore that are usable which sucks for people low on money, but for $400-$500 you can get a reeeeally decent option, honestly some options better than base modle iPhones for price to features 🤷🏻♂️
I have an lg k10 and I gotta say its a beast considering the price. It legit runs asphalt xtreme with little to no stuttering.
Also it has an amazing feel in the hand. So if anyone was wondering if I recommend it. Yes if you dont want to spend more then $100.
better clean your face

"1gb of uncapped data" what does that mean?
You get one gig of high speed data, but after you finish that 1 gig, they will take down your speed and give you dial up speed. Your phone essentially becomes useless once you have the dial up speed.
oh right, thanks guys
Tanmay Mamodia To expand on this: 1GB of 4G LTE then 3G for the rest of the billing period.
TheEthan8or Wouldn't it be 3G? I haven't seen 2G used in years.
honestly, the tmobile one plan is better. unlimited everything for $35. im at about 84 gbs of lte data this month and i havent been capped yet
The sad moment when these 8 megapickles might be better than my 21 megapickle one.
Pixel* lol
megapickles hahahhaha
I'm not unique or creative so I copied Mr. Juan Carlos from PocketNow
Your phone has a lot of big pickles.
Chen Ming Liang do you have an Xperia phone?
I’m getting this phone in 2023 it brings back memories

>"It's the right size" to a 4 inch phone.
>Uses an iPhone 7+...
I got my zte blade spark for 99$ and it's amazing. It has a finger print sensor, 16 gigs upgradable to 128, quad-core processor, 1080 display, 5.5" display, 3100 mAh battery, etc... So glad I chose Android over IOS
I have the K10. It's alright, but i miss my Note 3.
Don't buy it though. The phone gets extremely hot. Though I've tested it. It will not explode.
ThatGTAFan720 i have it. it gets extremely hot right below the front facing camera. the entire top half of the screen also gets hot.
Sounds about right.
Why did buy a k10? That is a huge downgrade
Some Person I wanted a cheap phone because I assumed it would be good enough, and the Note7 was out of stock, and thanks to the recall, I waited a long while until I finally got the Note5 after this POS shattered after being dropped off a table.
"I feel like too many smart phones nowadays are too big" Yet you still have an iPhone 7 Plus
your the same dude who survived with a 20 dollar phone.. im so sorry ;-;

The Desire 530 is like the precursor to the design of the Pixel 2. I love it.
OnePlus 3 and you're done.
David Mannion True but these phones are for super low budget
elitemav OnePlus 5
Dr. Splash "Low Budget"
Oneplus 2
Is the one plus 3 good for snapchat?
*Totally not a biased review.*
has an iphone 7 PLUS...
complains about how phones are too big nowdays...
the real use I find for a lanyard, is to be able to pull stuff out of my pocket without putting my whole hand or fingers into my pocket. It's just easier and honestly kind of fun
This is actually really cool, considering I'm thinking about switching to MetroPCS. Thanks bro!
IGDGaming You can always bring expensive or better smartphones to metro PCs too. just letting you know because most of these phones aren't actually as good as they seem in his glowing sponsored reviews.
enjoy your 1gb of data lmao xD
ノワルツヌ///noiretune* I have it right now and I'm being tortured! It sucks so much having only 1gb
The K10 feeling snappier, eh? Makes PERFECT sense...
The HTC is rocking a Snapdragon 210 with a PATHETIC Cortex-A7 32-Bit... Galaxy On5, which has a custom Exynos SoC... Exynos are fast, right? In this case, WRONG... The 3475 is the same as Snapdragon 210 albeit with a stronger GPU than SD210...
The K7 is no comparison... It has 64-Bit Cortex-A53s which are roughly 30% more powerful than A7s... And lets not forget the fact that its a 64-Bit SoC so it'll be overall smoother than 32-Bit...
I don't like when he says: "I'll catch you in the next one" with an evil grin...
I don't know why... But this sound kinda "threatening" to me...
If you look at the specs of the MetroPCS LG K10, it runs a SD210 like the HTC.

Prince Xamim i dont understand a thing haha. what language is that
I Have Used This Particular HTC and Let Me tell You
ITS PETHETIC
LAGGY AND SLOW
edit: it sounds way bad than it sounded in my head, it's not THAT bad
R. Antonio M.S. I Agree With You On 64 Bit Part
Bit Represent That How Many Type Of "Numbers" could be read or write, however it's ACTUALL purpose Is Supporting More Tam, Since 32 bit Supports only4 GB ram (I think) while 64 bit Supports A LOT MORE RAM (I don't remember specifically).
So it DOES NOT have a good use unless the mobile have more than 4 gb of RAM. Sooooo it actually IS GIMMICKY
Watching this on an HTC desire530
Asahki Applewhite how is it?? Do u like it
Adam Kane it has a few kinks over time, the normal temperature sensitivity. I recommend getting a good case. But for the price it is awesome. I recommend buying a newer HTC phone for a slightly better camera. I have no real complaints. ( the screen is also sensitive on the 530, if your head phones touch it may select something at random. But that's it.)
Asahki Applewhite ok. Thanks so much
Adam Kane no problemo
Same
I’ve definitely purchased a couple phones in this price range for my mother and the LG’s have been way easier to deal with.
Not all apps can go on an SD card so Samsung always run out of space really quick.
what camera are you guys using to film this?
Sony FS5 and FS7
Austin Evans Nice Vid
me too thanks
Revenge of the Gamers click bait police arrest him. Then go arrest 80% of all the channels on UA-cam.
Sneeky Sniper Jack from unbox therapy
"some phones are to big now a days" (has a iPhone 7+)
He says the On5 is the perfect size but he uses an iPhone 7 PLUS instead of the regular iPhone 7
Gracious Anithanam he's been hitting the gym. gotta buy q big phone to match his big new gym muscles
He already said the only reason he got the 7+ was for the dual camera. Otherwise he wouldve gotten the regular 7.
I have the HTC phone. Let me tell you, it is SO sturdy and durable. I can through it across the room, and no damage done. I have abused this phone, and since I've gotten it, all I've done in damage is scratching the corners.( I got it from my mother, and it was already cracked, but hasn't spread, and honestly I don't know what she had to do to crack it.) So if you have a problem with breaking phones, this HTC is definitely the phone for you! The only problems I have with it are that the camera is not so good, and it can get slow sometimes, but that's about it. Hope this helps anyone on the edge about getting one of these new phones. 😊
I got a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge for $200, I'm so lucky I found this deal
WTF?!
Homur Sumpsen he's full of shit bruh
Ricky Carraway believe what you want, I'm just trying to say that if you look hard enough and have some friends, you can find good deals
KyleMCSG that said 200. I thought it said 20 heh
Ricky Carraway xD
metro budget phones aren't even good phones, they all have bottom shelf everything... Go to eBay and get something from a respected seller
Clous von eBay actually has higher ratings then Amazon I hate Amazon I love eBay
Clous von or by locally used if you know what to look for. ive so far bought an s7 edge with minor cracks and it was google locked( i bypassed it) for 120 and recently got an s7 for 90 and google locked as well. you just have to be patient.
Clous von Zte Zmax Pro and Stylo 3 Plus are both awesome phones for 100 and 149 respectively at MetroPCS.
Redmi note 3 is the best phone
200 dollars
-3gb ram
-32gb
-snapdragon 650
-4000 mha
-1080p -403p
-finger print sensor
-16 megapixel camera
- and more.....
I have it, is the best
I'm looking at that and leaning more to it than any other I can find without going past $300. How long have you had it for and do you recommend it entirely?
angel Calderón ZTE ZMAX PRO $100, 13 megapixel, 32Gb internal storage, 2Gb ram, 3500mhp battery, 6" screen, full hd 1080p resolution. half price if someone looking for cheaper alternative
Henry D Franck lol I have that too
Henry D Franck zte looks better but the redmi note 3 is faster
MrMoopBoop the bad thing about the redmi is that has a ugly launcher and is android 5.1.1 that's the latest upgrade
I have the LG K10. It's pretty good for the price! If you are on a budget you will not regret choosing this smartphone.
I'm shocked that no one did a she said joke.
That's what she said!
Tech Crater
There we go
ZTE Zmax pro! bargain of the decade! 124 dollars after tax, 6' inch 1080 screen, 2 gb of ram, 13 MP (phase detection and manual control options, slow mo) 5 MP front, solid speaker with Dolby Atmos digital built in, 3400mah battery, freaking finger print sensor that always works, plastic frame but with metal flakes paint that makes it feel like metal and solid feeling all around, gorilla glass 3 on front! Oh yeah and last but not least a 1.5 GHz octacore Snapdragon 617! Very snappy and great screen! It's not just great for the price ,it's a very capable and pretty powerful and easily competes with devices costing 4 times as much. It's a premium mid ranger or even slightly below only because of having 2 gb of ram but if manged properly that doesn't take away from the overall experience! I'm saying all this because it's went from my Note 5 that stopped working to this as my back up phone and i do the feel the need to fix and use the Samsung at all. In fact it doesn't really feel any different as far as speed and performance goes into real world usage and this has a much bigger screen but doesn't feel too big for me! It doesn't have NFC but u really never used it anyways. It even has a gyroscope and uses USB type C! I think that's about it but it really think this is the best option out there all things considered! There isn't another device out there at this price range that offers everything this does. There you go....
American phone companies can't compete with Chinese phone companies when it comes to providing more of a bang for your buck. I recommend doing some more research on xiaomi, umidigi, honor, and dogee which are are very big on budget phone's.
'1GB of uncapped data', what does that even mean?
Pieter Rossouw Means that after hitting the cap, your signal/data slows down from 4G to 3G etc.
doesn't that make it 'unshaped' or 'unthrottled'?
It's throttled, it's just not capped at 1GB. You still get more, just lesser speed.
The opposite is true, it's an uncapped connection because your data isn't shut off, rather it throttles when you hit a "soft" cap.
Already 3 years gone so fast... My god
Who agrees that the samsung galaxy On5 looks just like galaxy grand prime
Jimin me
Me Too
Jimin I own a Grand Prime and my Mom has the On5. They look a lot alike. I guess it's good I bought a case for mine
YamiGekusu My friend also owns the grand prime but she dropped it and the screen shattered.
How do you do budget smart phones from MetroPCS but not the MetroPCS exclusive ZTE ZMAX PRO????
ikr I have it it's good for the price
Jonhy456 Yeah I have it. It's great
Jonhy456 I have the ZTE Zmax Pro n I love it! Great price 4 a good phone
andrew barralaga More cores means multitasking would be a lot smoother, but yes, I agree. Maybe less cores, and more focused power would make performance in games a lot better.
yeah me too I love my zte zmax pro
ITS THE RIGHT SIZE - AUSTIN EVANS
I got super excited watching this video cause getting such good phones for $80, that's a steal. I opened up the amazon app, was about to order the HTC phone you showcased here. But then came the shocker, the HTC Desire 530 costs $188.47 in India :-/ For $80, we could get a Chinese clone from Indian companies like Micromax, Lava, Intex, etc.
The lg and the htc ones look the best. But can they handle big mobile games that require 1.2 gb of memory?
Yes, they can. In HTC you can use SD card as internal memory. For example if you have 16gb SD card you can format it and have 32gb for apps, games and other stuff.
He said memory, not storage.
Twisted Prime Sarcasm? Please tell me you're being sarcastic
sevan grigoryan I have the LG k10 and pokemon runs fine
sevan grigoryan dont listen to sponsored vids. instead, try to find phones by specs, comments and research.
these phones are complete crap. I bet if you Install 5 apps, they would already crash.
so I have 3 things:
-doogee x5(50$) or x5 pro(80$)
1gig ram. 2gigs ram. it is slow, bad graphics, poor battery life, but it is definitely better (I mean, maybe) than the phones the youtuber mentioned. I already had one. if you use it only for basic actions, such as calling, SMS, playing clash royale, its pretty worth it.DONT BUY IT TO YOUR SON(if you have one)
-umi touch(140$ at aliexpress) fast, but the camera is awful. if you move a little bit, the photo becomes messy. but it can handle asphalt 8 at high settings.(if you don't install a lot of shit apps.) you can still install many games and apps, but every machine gets slower when storage and ram full. 3gigs of ram. Also, it has a day long battery life(4000 mAh). it charges slowly (3-6hours until 100% but definitely worth it.) it can MAYBE resist from a direct spray but I am NOT sure.
-leeco max2(something like 200$)
it got pretty high specs, but the battery is smaller than umi touch.
and has no screen protection. apparently, it is hard to bend, but I didn't get much info of that phone.
think twice before believing to reviews.
tests may be fake, but so.e of them are informative.
After the S20 released its so funny watching him complain about his 800+$ 7 plus. The s20 starts at 870$🤦♂️
Watching this on the K10.
I like how you pause before describing an aspect of the phones as if trying to not lie without saying that theyre shit.
watching this on my galaxy on5
Unlucky
Augustus what do you mean?
Allen Junious he’s just jealous
ANONYMOUS ! It's a horrible phone
It's amazing, even considering I use the Note 8.
was he sponserd by metro pcs
ravi kiran okay
Cookie That was like the first thing he said....
COOKIE YOU ARE TOO CUTE BUT TAKE THAT CHIP THAT'S OBVIOUSLY IN ONE OF YOUR EARS OUT AND MEET ME IN THE KITCHEN. BRING MILK.
Austin I have to ask WHAT ARE THOSEE BRO
Jeila Cisse what are those is dead bruh
Donald Dawg bruh is dead ask well
"When MetroPCS wanted to sponsor a video, the first thing I thought of was cheap smartphones"
SHOTS FIRED
1 gigabyte of uncapped data? What does that mean? Either 1 gb or uncapped
Probably speedwise...
T-Mobile and its subsidiary, MetroPCS, don't do overage fees for consuming more data than your data plan. Instead, they cap the data speeds after you hit your monthly cap to around 2G speeds which is around 128 kbps, making it unbearable to use but at least they don't charge overage fees.
means you have the 1 gig, u go over you pay for that .
The first gig is full speed and the rest they slow it down unbearably to the point where it's dial up speed. I think you still get charge for it but at least it won't be that bad
but can it run dead trigger 2 ultra settings 60fps
Kenneth Loiz nah
Kenneth Loiz mobile gamers😷
Spiderman
There are some good real games.
Not like the shitty ass Candy Crush or Subway Surfers.
Too bad the controls usually are terrible. :(
Peace M8 ツ can you state them?
HTC Desire 530 for 80 dollars? .. where? In Denmark they cost at least 200 dollars.
The Spark Order online.. I just got it for $73 through Verizon from Amazon.
Hayley But isnt that through your provider with some benefits?
The Spark Nope, I use prepaid service through Verizon.. unlimited talk and text with 3gb data for $45. So the phone I ordered is through Verizon as a locked device. I saw some unlocked to slightly more but nothing over $100.
Yeah, in Australia they are $200_300 used
I agree with Austin. That HTC has a really fun-looking design. It looks like a nice phone.
I'm running the leeco max 2 it has a snapdragon 820 superamoled 5.7" 2k display 21mp camera 6gb ram and a USB type c all for 220$ lmao
lovingAcheerio Seems legit lol
Kawaii it's a pretty good phone I've had it 2 months now
hopefully it dosnt explode lmao
lovingAcheerio fuck le eco phones they r useless fuck I used them they feel cheap
Sunny Vegesna well this one dosnt feel cheap
Sunny Vegesna well this one dosnt feel cheap
I think its important to mention that the HTC Desire 530 is the only one that has a gyroscope, for anyone interested in virtual reality
i have a LG K20 Plus and it also has a gyroscope
Virtual reality on an 80$ smartphone. Are you ok?
No it doesn't
My dick. has a gyroscope ...I had to use htc 530 for some months and it sucks
DARKLIGHTBG it doesn't have a gyroscope
I will pick lg k10...Oh look Im using it right now...
Smash Bg Finnaly dropped mine from k7, now I can't go back to low end after my LG V20
Smash Bg Same
Smash Bg i have it too lol but the phone isint really bad for its price
The phones storage sucks though. I paid 200 dollars for it and I got 16gb. The expandable memory is useless, it is not possible to move apps to the SD card in a LG k10. Other than that the phone is pretty decent.
radotron999 i had k7, then k10, and i now have lg k20 plus
The fact that you'd truly say and or believe that these phones are even relatively close to being anywhere near a flagship in comparison is utter mularky. It truly told me all I need to know to make a decision to continually watch your channel.
when you have the on5 😭😭
He forgot about Lg Aristo
o_2lxzy im using it
Upgraded from it, still have all the original box contents... it's a "Meh Phone" - Okay Phone.
It is lg k8
cheap phones lasts for 6 months only... after 6mnths they tend to get very slow....even last year flagships are good to buy...
Kedaar Kulkarni i purchased moto g3 almost 2 years back...it still works perfectly!!!
Yeah if you never uninstall unused apps that run in background all the time...
Not true, I got the HTC 626s from Metro and its been almost 2 years its still decent with no signs of crapping out.
Which would you save more?
80 Dollar phone and replace it every 6 months
or
800 dollar phone and replace it every 2 years?
Still the cheaper phone lol.
~_MrYondaime705_~ $800 phone...bcoz it gives butter smooth performance for at least 2-2.5 yrs...and with flagship phones u get all round experience like performance,camera,screen quality etc...i will go with the flagship only...right now i'm using moto x style/pure since a year and it still performs like a charm....
That HTC back design is amazing, I want it just for that.
Same 😭
The HTC desire530 is only $80,00 because it turns off when ever it wants gets to hot to hold when charging and the camera never takes the pics
And it does not turn on all the time after turning it off
SuperFunGamer 88 I hate that,I had desire 728g...... I wanted to smash it
SuperFunGamer 88 I'm using an HTC desire 646
Maybe you got a bad one? I have one, and it's great. Only problems are the bad-ish camera and sometimes it can get slow. It rarely gets warm or turns of randomly.
I got lucky then, been using this sucker for like a year and a half.
HTC is really cool
How do we contact Ken? His Love Live! Shirt is marvelous.
