On many occasions we talk about flagships, the high-end smartphones of companies that have a price that exceeds 600 euros. However, the truth is that sometimes what we need to buy is a low-cost smartphone. Therefore, we review the best Android smartphones that we can buy with only 100 euros.
Of course, first of all it must be clarified that these are smartphones that could slightly exceed 100 euros, although not too much.
1.- Samsung Galaxy Y (82,50 euros)
This Samsung smartphone is one of the cheapest we can get and it has a good quality / price ratio. It's simple, it has a three-inch capacitive screen, and a two-megapixel camera. The processor is single core, clocked at 830 MHz, with 290 MB RAM. The internal memory can be expanded by means of a microSD card. In addition, it has Android 2.3.5 as the operating system. It is not too advanced, but it costs only 82,49 euros at Amazon.com, and it is used for the basics, calling, receiving email, and installing some applications such as WhatsApp or Facebook.
2.- Sony Xperia Type (100 euros)
The second one that we are going to talk about today is the Sony Xperia Type. This smartphone from the Japanese company is quite balanced. It is priced somewhat higher, but its specifications are too. It has a 3,2-inch screen and a 3,2-megapixel camera. The internal memory is 2,9 GB. The processor is also single core, reaching a clock frequency of 800 MHz. The RAM is 512 MB, which is also better than the Galaxy Y. And it has Android 4.0.4 as its operating system. Its price is 100 euros in Amazon.com and it is an option to consider.
3.- Acer Liquid Z2 Duo (115 euros)
We do not usually talk about Acer smartphones, but if what we are looking for is a smartphone with a good price and that also has good technical specifications, this is an option to consider. To begin with, it is a Dual phone, which means that we can have several SIM cards in the smartphone so that at all times we have a network from a different company. The screen is somewhat better, 3,5 inches, and the processor is also single core with a clock frequency of 1 GHz. The RAM in this case is also 512 MB and the camera is three megapixels. Its price is 115 euros on Amazon.com, and it should be taken into account. In addition, it has Android 4.1 Jelly Bean as its operating system.
4.- Huawei Ascend Y300 (121 euros)
Another of the smartphones that we are going to discuss in this brief review is the Huawei Ascend Y300. Again, it is no longer 100 euros, but something else, 121 euros is its price in Amazon.com. However, we are obliged to mention it, because it has a four-inch screen, and a five-megapixel camera. If we compare it with the others, it seems clear that it pays to buy this smartphone instead of the others. On the other hand, it has a 1 GHz dual-core processor, something that is also very remarkable and must be taken into account. The RAM, in this case, is 512 MB.
5.-LG Optimus L3 (93 euros)
LG's smartphone is a far cry from the flagships, obviously, but it can still be taken into account. If we are not going to reach 120 euros, then it may be a good choice, with a 3,2-inch touchscreen, and a 3,15-megapixel camera. The processor is a single core, capable of reaching a clock frequency of 800 MHz. The RAM is 382 MB. Its price is 93 euros in Amazon.com.
6.- Samsung Galaxy Pocket (87 euros)
And the last of all is the Samsung Galaxy Pocket. The South Korean company launched a smartphone as cheap as possible, with the worst specifications. Or in other words, a smartphone as simple as possible, something that could also be an advantage. It does not have a camera, and the screen is only 2,8 inches. The processor is single-core, and reaches a clock frequency of 832 MHz. Its price in Amazon.com is 87 euros.
And the Samsung Galaxy Mini and Mini 2 are for those prices too.
