Looking for an Android phone...

[ElNono]

Any thoughts where I can get a decent Android phone for real cheap (thinking $30-$40 bucks)

- Won't be activated, so carrier doesn't matter
- Would like at least a 4.5" screen, resolution no smaller than 800x600 or so
- Must be able to run Android 4.1 or better
- Don't care if it's used

Doing some Android dev at the moment and I'd like to have at least one device to test on, but I'm going the extremely cheap route if possible. Wasn't able to find much on Amazon nor ebay.

4"3 though

you're best bet is finding a cheap one and rooting it. Probably gonna have to do homework

It can run 4.04 but not sure about 4.1

why not just buy some phone and write it off as a tax expense?

then write off a further expense deduction for research and development for programming that thing?

[Wild Cobra]

Well, I think your 800 wide will be 800 x 480. As for a price, good like finding your criteria that cheap.

oi op

have u notice with that sony psp, now with the sony smartphones gettin bigger x>5inch screens, seems like t hey trying to push those who were on the psp to those gadgets instead...i see the psp will be end of the line now

[ElNono]

Thanks for the suggestions. I know it's a long shot, that's why I was asking.

Walmart had a $120 prepaid for $35 during Black Friday but there was no more stock 15 mins later. I figured there might be some either old or Chinese that might have something like that. Prices on these devices are seriously sinking. If I gotta pay over $100, I might just get a 7" Nexus tablet.

I can sell you my HTC One S for 700000 dollars

Canadian Dollars, so it's gonna be like 20 dollars U.S

Won't even touch the cellular network. This is just to plug into a computer and test our apps. Do need some 'middle of the road' specs since that's what we're targeting as minimum requirements.

Galaxy S2 would be your closest bet for those specs and size.

The HTC One S or X is probably also around the same price as S2 ($150), with 4.3-4.7" screen and 720p resolution.

EDIT: Maybe Galaxy Nexus can be had cheap:

Gnex is a good idea

After all, Nexus are developer phones

Don't you have to be at least 64 years old to buy from HSN?

[anakha]

If you're willing to plunk down $150+ for a secondhand phone, why not just add a little extra and get a Moto G?

You're getting a lot of phone for that price.

Heh, I just got that Moto G phone from HSN for $120 yesterday. An unlocked, quad-core phone for that price? Yep.

hey guys

does resolution matter to you guys whether its still 800x480 on a 4.7 screen?

or you prefer hd resolution?

since u can buy like a nokia 625 for around 220 that has a 4.7 screen non HD resolutions, win8 phone btw...has a expandable slot all for under 200...
can u really spot the difference in resolutions?

Yes, 800x480 is very noticeable on a 4.7 inch screen. It was noticeable on a 4.2 inch. Thou won't die, but it doesn't compare to 720p or 1080p

even anything b4 the iphone4 was bs resolutions, if u can put up with those earlier phones, then the later models with shit resolutions will be no problem right? im not using it for anything else besides as portable video/mp3 player

It's not that bad if you want a cheap portable music video player and phone. I assume you want one with a microSD card.

[Drachen]

Can you get the Moto G? 720p and 180 bucks
