I don't think this will run it. It requires 2GB RAM, and this only has 1GB. Slow processor too, 1.2GHz 400 Quad core - doesn't cut it these days.

Do you have Amazon Prime? You can score a BLU R1 that will run it decently for $60

If those Verizon phones are locked, then no, they won't work. That LG Shine should be put out to pasture. You wouldn't want to use that as a daily in 2017.

You can always grab a Blu phone from Amazon. That $50 unlocked phone with the ads on it is a good backup phone if you have Prime. You can probably get it same day if you live in some larger areas.

you can get a Blu r1 hd for $49 if you are amazon prime user. which is a decent performing phone for that price.

Did you get it from Amazon? I noticed many of their phones come with an ad "feature"

>Offers and ads, including personalized deals and recommendations, display on the phone's lockscreen

https://www.amazon.com/BLU-R1-HD-Exclusive-Lockscreen/dp/B01F9N5QXI

If you don't want/use the AR mode and have Amazon Prime then I highly recommend Blu R1 HD for $49 (assuming it has the antenna you need).

For reference, if you are on Project Fi you can get a data-only Sim for free and this phone for under $50. I did this to give to my kid so we could go out together and it works great. Since the data-only sim can only use T-Mobile's network there was one time we went out to a state park and I had a signal and they didn't so I had to setup a hotspot. But otherwise haven't had any issues.

Do what the others are saying and buy an unlocked phone. I did this for my mom who cannot get broadband in her rural town. She actually cannot even get LTE with Cricket but the 4G speeds are good enough for her. I bought her the Amazon Prime version of the Blu R1 HD (about $50) which has hotspot automatically enabled. Not a bad phone at all but she only uses it for hotspot (always on and plugged in) as she has her own iPhone through US Cellular with limited data. I put her in my Cricket group and she only pays $40/month for unlimited (slowish) internet now.

you can get a BLU phone subsidized by Amazon, basically its a BLU phone but Amazon puts adds on your phone and knocks about $50 off the sale price. Its speculated you can put a custom rom on there to kill the adds, anyway the cheap one is $50: https://www.amazon.com/BLU-R1-HD-Exclusive-Lockscreen/dp/B01F9N5QXI/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1468341683&sr=8-4&keywords=amazon+phone
edit: your probably better off getting the 2 Gig of ram for $59

Are you a member of Amazon prime? I just got this phone for my wife because she cracked her iphone and we needed something cheap in the interim and it's worked really well so far. You might even be able to throw in a Thai sim when you get there and use it in country (although that's total speculation on my part).

I agree looking at www.Willmyphonework.net looks like most of the operators work on the 900/1800 for Edge and Hspda is 1900/2100. So I agree pick up a local sim, and would pick a cheap Blu R1 HD if your a amazon prime member for 49.99. That phone supports all of the bands available by Vietnam Providers and is a nice\cheap little device.

By tying the voice chat to the smart phone application instead, the Switch console becomes family friendly (compared to XBox voice chat) and it enables any adult to use voice chat on the phone they already own. The very very small minority of adults that don't own a smart phone already can easily buy an unlocked phone for $50 on Amazon. This is a good solution because many parents will not be aware of the parental controls application. They can buy a Nintendo console and know their kids won't be subjected to voice chat harassment.

Amazon already saved me. Let me get a $60 phone to play on

Edit: Seems to run

• Comprar teléfonos en Amazon y revenderlos aquí. El que recomendaría es el BLU R1 HD de 2gb de RAM que está como en $60 con Amazon Prime. En Mercado Libre está en más de 2 millones y medio y subiendo, y sobre todo se venden super fácil y rápido porque su precio más que lo vale, en mi opinión. Lo único malo es que viene con publicidad integrada de Amazon pero a nadie de aquí le importa eso, la verdad. Podrías pedir la prueba gratis de Prime y comprar varios de esos y si te sale bien pagar Prime y seguir haciéndolo. El chamo que me vendió el R1 que tengo hace eso y le va bien. Aquí está el enlace de Amazon para los flojos: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F9N5QXI/ref=twister_B01G7TG6SW?_encoding=UTF8&th=1 (aunque por lo que estoy viendo la versión de 16gb ya no tiene descuento de Prime, ni idea) Y el enlace de Mercado Libre: https://celulares.mercadolibre.com.ve/blu/blu-r1-hd.
• Si no quieres hacer nada simplemente guárdalos; sin pena ni gloria. No hay nada de malo ya que nunca se te van a devaluar.
• Si eres de mente abierta y quieres hacer más que tener los dólares y menos que hacer lo del teléfono puedes canjear esos $ (o una parte) en BTC, ya que éste generalmente tiende a subir de precio. Estarías haciendo una ganancia un poco mayor a la que harías si sólo tuvieras tu dinero en $. Otra cosa más avanzada que puedes hacer es conseguir capital igual a 0.2 btc (Creo que es poco más de $1000. Como $1150 o algo así en relación con el precio actual del btc que es $5700 y algo.), éste lo puedes comprar por Localbitcoins y manejar desde ese sitio, para poder comprar, vender y revender a un precio elevado tus bitcoins y así poco a poco sacarle ganancia. Te digo 0.2 btc por que es lo mínimo que te pide la página para que tus anuncios se muestren, de otra forma no lo hacen y tienes que venderlos 'manualmente', es decir, pásandole el enlace a alguien que te quiere vender/comprar.
• Alcohol. Podrías comprar ron y demás al mayor y revenderlo a licorerías o clubes a un precio un poco menor al de sus proveedores. No sé mucho de este tema pero conocidos me han dicho que es una opción.
• Apuestas. Aunque es alto riesgo/mediana-alta ganancia, claro.

BestBuy.com is selling a newly released Moto G4 for $200, with a free $50 gift card. If you can afford it, it is pretty much the best phone at technically $150.

Amazon is selling a smartphone to Prime members at $100 with a free $50 gift card too. It is severely underpowered and has ads on the lock screen, but it is technically a $50 smart phone that lets you play Pokemon Go, although I think it lacks AR capabilities.

well, you can do a lot more with the Win, since it does run windows. after it gets old, grab a couple of USB ethernet adapter and turn it into a server or PF sense router. plus it will probably hold up over the long run than a JXD.

I had an S7800 and the firmware on it was horrible, the HDMI out had tons of issues relating to refresh rates. here's an example of the refresh rate being incorrect and causing the game to run at half speed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mkN_Us9sBlk

the S5800 was a good phone kinda beside the fact to hear anything id have to put it on speaker phone, but then the volume up failed, then the volume down failed, then the SDCard would just stop reading requiring a reboot EVERY DAY, and there was no way to get it to restore mode or wipe it because there was no way to press the volume buttons, plus the gamepad button would press in and get stuck. plus there's no vibration, so no force feedback in games, and no vibrating when calls come in.

The S5110b, firmware problems again, but then the nand failed on it so it's now a brick.

so I guess it was only 3 devices, either way, all of them failed and it's obvious from the 3rd party roms you'll find that JXD just doesn't give a shit. not only that but they're ALL running outdated versions of Android.

if you do want a cheap android device to play games on, go and grab a BLU R1 HD 8GB , 16GB, its $59 for the amazon one with AD's but that won't be an issue, since the first thing you do is root it, and it will remove the ad's and crapware. then grab a clip to attach it to a controller or a controller that can hold it. I have one of these and I love it with both your still going to spend less money than a JXD product, get a newer version of Android, a really nice screen that has a glass front (none of the JXD products have glass it's all plastic that scratches easily as fuck) not only that but 8GB isn't going to be limiting as it is in an older Android JXD product since in Android 6, you can easily move apps to the SD card without jumping through hoops. plus since it's rooted and there's a lot of people that have these TWRP works so you can completely back up your phone to an SD card and if you have a problem you can restore EVERYTHING back to how it was and get back up and running in under an hour.

If you've got Amazon Prime (paid, not the trial), the Blu R1 HD is $50, I tried it and it seemed like a pretty nice phone. It's compatible with T-Mobile, but I think it lacks some bands, so you might get just 3g in some areas.

If you don't have prime, you can get the Blu Advance 5.0, but that only has 3G.

No promises that they'll work great, but they're basic phones and there should be no problems with T-Mobile 3G and getting decent enough data.

I'm not sure about the SIM sizes, so you might need to get a microsim to full size sim adapter just in case.

For what carrier?

Let me know what you think.

Two suggestions, the Blu R1 HD and the Moto E4. Both can be got as "amazon prime" phones, where you just have picture ads on your lockscreen (which you can get rid of with a lockscreen app, should you want to), and you general save $30-50 off the overall price of the phone.

Blu R1 HD - Simple design, no "home" button, 5" screen. Released last year, very close to "stock" android. 2GB RAM / 16GB storage, $60 with amazon ads and $100 without (https://www.amazon.com/BLU-R1-HD-Exclusive-Lockscreen/dp/B01F9N5QXI)

Motorola Moto E4 - Only just released, the Moto E line is their budget-friendly line up and very capable for their price. Moto also tend to be more "up-to-date" on their phone OS's, so it's running the latest version of Android (Android 7.1, Nougat). 2GB RAM, 16 GB storage. Again, simple design, with a home button that also doubles as a fingerprint sensor, should your Dad want one. Also comes with a slightly larger battery, quick charging, and perhaps more peace of mind that you're getting the phone from a better-known brand. $99 with amazon ads, $130 without. (https://www.amazon.com/Moto-4th-Generation-Exclusive-Lockscreen/dp/B071YC3G5V)

I've got this 8GB, bit it's 5".

I bet you can find something on eBay (or Amazon for $53.20), functionality wise it should fit your needs, but it's 5" (not 4")

Yes, the Blu R1 is a new Amazon Fire phone that they are selling to Prime members for $50/$60. It's unlocked. Not shipping till the 12th though.

Here's it link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F9N5QXI

If you have Amazon Prime this'll do but it's backorderd. If you need it now, I would say one of the Moto Gs. Or the Alcatel OneTouch 3.

If you have Amazon Prime, maybe you could grab the Blu R1 HD for $60

Link here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F9N5QXI

It would help if you could be more specific than "base model." How much do you want to pay; is there anything in particular that you have to have besides dual sim?

Limiting it to phones with Android Marshmallow & LTE band 12 (not absolutely necessary but will improve coverage and connection speeds in some areas):

The BLU Studio Touch is the cheapest at $100. Itis almost identical to the well received BLU R1 HD ($50 Amazon Prime Exclusive). It just adds T-mobile band 12 & a fingerprint scanner, and removes the baked in Amazon ads.

Blu R1 HD from Amazon. $50 brand new.

just a tip, you can delete everything after the the /dp/[code] in amazon links: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F9N5QXI

I just put together this rough list on 10-15-16 of recommendations for anyone on a GSM network in the USA. I'll update it as I think of others.

The Axon 7 is awesome. But technically Lenovo owns Motorola so a new version of your phone is a Chinese phone.

I'm looking for a budget phone too - as cheap as possible, but not junk. It has to be unlocked. There's a Blu phone on Amazon for $50

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01F9N5QXI/ref=br_imp_ara-4?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=detail-ilm&pf_rd_r=KZX8GPWFJKKM5XQHQGR9&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=2946428822&pf_rd_i=B01KBH547A

and I wondered if I could get away with that, or if it would be better to get a Moto G 4

or Moto Play - all of these have Prime offers. Sorry if I'm hijacking this thread, maybe I should start a new thread with these questions. But all of these are $100 or less if you have Amazon Prime.

Do you have Amazon Prime by any chance? If so, you can buy the Blu R1 HD for $50:

https://www.amazon.com/BLU-R1-HD-Exclusive-Lockscreen/dp/B01F9N5QXI

It can't use the AR mode because it doesn't have a gyroscope, but it works well otherwise.
