Hi all,

I need to buy a new "cheap" low/mid end android phone for developing. Target price under 150€.

My needs are: 64bit processor, Android 6.0. and 2Gb RAM minimum. The rest of specs can be about the average for that price

Surfing the web, I've found several candidates which I had never heard about. According to the reviews, I eliminated some of them, specially those regarding product reliability...:eek:

After making this cribe, a good choice for this price seems (to me) the Doogee T6 Pro.

Can anyone give advice on this model or any other which is worth considering?

Hi.
Last week my Moto G2 passed away, the battery dead.
I was with the idea of buying a Xiaomi RedMi 3, but I found an offer of a Huawei P6 II, 159€ on Mediamarkt and Worten.
After a week with the device... it works as expected, fast and fluid, so I recommend it.
Regards.

Huawei Y6 with 2 GB RAM for about 140€. My son has it for 1 year now. Runs fast (Facebook, WhatsAapp, Spotify, etc. parallel - no problem). Stable (no restarts for a year). Internet conenction is fast, too. Camera is (as expected) acceptable (if it gets dark, forget it).

Well, at the end I have found THIS offer. Will have to wait a couple of weeks, but I think it is a very very (did I already say very?) good deal for the price :)
