I was really surprised to find an Android Smartphone for £20. Usually you pay that much to get a case or screen protector. You would never expect to get a smartphone rocking a quad core processor for that price. Is it any good? Check out the review and website below for a video and written review.
Share the video with your friends and family so more people will be aware that a phone like this exists! If this gets enough buzz and attention then they just might make a better version for the same price! If not then this will be the last we EVER see of ultra cheap smartphones.

Good enough for an XBMC/Chromecast/etc. remote, FTP transfer tool for 3DS, etc. I have backup phones for those reasons already but I'm not in the UK anyway.
 
$20 quad-core phones are common enough in the US, although you usually have to wait for clearance pricing to get a decent one at the price. For $20 each I picked up a handful of ZTE Maven phones over the holiday season - 1GB of RAM and a Snapdragon 410 is definitely entry-level, but they're cheap enough I can beat them up without worrying about it. Was disappointed to find out weeks too late that the local Walmart had been clearing out Zmax 2 models at $25 a pop, though.

Really? I know someone found something about a NAND writelock removal but it seems like it didn't work on most of the prepaid/GoPhone models; certainly didn't seem to work on mine.

Got a Kyocera Hydro and a Motorola E 2015 for $10 each (at separate times).

Much better then that Pixi Glitz or whatever but it's still worth it.
