For 2013, this doesn't seem too bad! My main phone stopped working last year, couldn't repair it, and for a while I had to go back to using my Galaxy Ace, which I originally got as a hand-me-down from my cousin and used up until 2014. It was my first Android phone, so I had held onto it for some reason. I ended up installing a custom ROM released last year, still Gingerbread, but much more minimalist. I also dug up an old Winamp APK from APKmirror I think, so I could at least listen to music on it. I'm weirdly nostalgic for old Android versions. I also had a tablet from Big W my dad bought me that ran KitKat. God knows where that is now though. After going back to the Ace for a little while I got an Xperia Z1 Compact (released 2015), running Lineage Oreo. Actually pretty decent for a five year old phone, I was using it until I finally bought a new phone a few weeks back. It's incredible how some of these old phones hold up.

This device reminds me alot of my mother's old Samsung Galaxy Discover she had back around 2012. This looks quite similar to it except larger. Also had some fairly similar specs: 800Mhz Snapdragon S1, Same GPU, 512MB RAM, 4GB Storage, Stock Android 4.0.4 (and yes, it was a samsung device without the touchwiz UI, since it was apparently too demanding for the phone) and a 3.5 Inch 480x320 display. To be honest, a device with these kinds of specs (which represented the ultra budget sector, would estimate it was purchased between $100-$150 CAD) It wasn't all that usable back in 2013. The bare OS was fine to use but loading any sort of app on it would be a nightmare. The RU-vid app (back when I used in in 2013) constantly crashed and with her facebook and crap running in the background navigating the UI was painful. In 2014 it was replaced with a Galaxy S3 that my mother used all the way until June 2019.

Micromax actually rebranded the phone and sold it as Bolt a58 or something like that and sold it in India for 3k rs or 45 USD approx. I owned this phone and it was a struggle just to install a couple of apps since the ROM was that small. Even having an SD card didn't solve the problem since some amount of storage was still required for an app to occupy in the internal storage. So, I had to root it and then install link2sd. I bricked the phone a couple of times trying to install a custom ROM. It functioned quite good apart from some minor issues. For the price, it was a pretty good device especially for a student like me. Quick update on Micromax, they had to close their services as they couldn't really deliver on their promises and companies like Xiaomi completely obliterated them.

I lost it at 'never disassemble the device by yourself' :3 This looks like one of the many Xiaomi Redmi 1 clones. It's from the good old days of Chinese manufacturers getting at the android version numbers and putting fake information there, and other manufacturers releasing 1-off Android devices that are then never updated (Looking at you, Acer!). Looks like you got a genuine 4.0.4 device tho, but having no manufacturer means you're unlikely to be able to extend life via a custom ROM. This sort of thing is indeed worth 2 bucks, considering that it looks like a GSM/3G device and it really depends if your region still has a 2G network.

This looks like a ZTE Blade C, mix and match of several of the variants of that, but also neither exactly. But it's also seemingly not made by ZTE, because they don't extend the PCB under the battery. It looks like the PCB is structural here like in some Motorolas, and i've never seen ZTE do that. By structural i mean, the tensile strength of PCB, being anchored north and south into the chassis along the whole length, actually provides structural integrity to the phone. Sweet ancient device anyway! And so mysterious. Can't find any evidence of a phone OEM named "EMS".

Don't worry you are doing great. Your Channel is a bit different from the others and you are doing it your way and its entertaining and intressting. In 2013 I used a ZTE skate 4.3. Had a 800mhz single core 250mb internal storage left and 500mb RAM, 5 Megapixel Autofokus Camera on the rear and no Frontcamera. It was running Android 2.3 so it was very usable back in the day. The 4.3 inch screen was HUGE for that time. Considering the Samsung Galaxy Note 1 was the biggest phone back than with its 5 inch screen. When I saw people using the Samsung Note 1 it was like they were holding a public Phonebox in their hands :D And nowadays you barely get a Phone under 6 inch screen. But due to its bad built quality that ZTE died from a digitizer fail because the glass didn't stick to the shell properly anymore and it lost contact to the digitizer. This Phone reminds me of the good old days, I still got a Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S laying around. You should probably try to get your hands on one of these because its still astonishingly good for nowadays phones. Especially the camera.

As southamerican, I quickly recognized this is one of the "unnamed" phones sold by big electrodomestic brands in their stores. Usually there is a need for low budget phones and this companies (like philco, tcl, philips) just imported (or ensamblated locally) cheap chinese unnamed phones to cell in the big electrodomestic stores. The good thing was they mostly were stock android and without a carrier/mobile plan, and also, they were cheap and accesible through 6/12 monthly payments. Most users ended up being small childs or grandparents as their first phone

From the specs it should have a Snapdragon S1 MSM7225A, since it only has an Adreno 200, not a 200 Enhanced. S1 MSM7627A would have a 200 Enhanced, but it doesn't really say anywhere. Edit: Or wait... It has the right frequency to be the Enhanced one. It might actually be an S1 MSM7627A, which would be even cooler. Edit: Uh... It has a MSM7227A inside? Wow. That's confusing. 😂 And yeah, it has the Adreno 200 Enhanced. Quite a pleasant surprise. Pretty rare to find a device like that. I don't think i've ever seen a no-brand Snapdragon phone, ever. That's, imo, quite amazing. Edit: I did some digging and found a few other EMS models: EL020 UF2021, UN020. UN020 even has Android 4.4.2, surprisingly, and has MT6572. I dunno why it's so fasicnating to me to look at those obscure devices.

@@SMOOREZ Yeah, i should have commented after watching the whole video, not throughout it. Anyway, really cool video. Also the EMS UN020 has some "Be" branding under the battery. Look it up on Google Images. It also looks like that phone actually received some updates from Android 4.2 to 4.4. I can't find anything more than that. Would be pretty cool if you could to find one of those to review. 😂😂

Looks pretty much exactly like my first smart phone that I bought from tracfone. What I had was something from their ZTE or LTE line made by LG I think.

For 2 dollars, this is a killer deal. I'd get it just to remember the golden days I had with a 4 inch phone.

What a pretty good durable little phone, kind of reminds me of the Samsung S3 from around the same period.

But in 2013, getting this would've been alright for everyday usage. Nowadays, not so much. Considering the SoC in it, it wasn't a terrible device - some of the clones I have looked at from Wish put this device higher above them!

That design reminds me of old Sony Xperia phones from 2012. For example Xperia Tipo has similar plastic lip etc.

It looks very similar to a Samsung Galaxy Player which was simply a minimal Android cell phone without the cell phone parts so it would function mostly as a media player and not much else.

A dirty kernel is one that includes some closed source proprietory binary blobs - closed source kernel modules, probably the Qualcomm dual SIM device drivers.

It looks a lot like the Vodafone smart series phones, which back in the day costed around 20€ to most 60€ and where almost functional in terms of speed. Those type of series where basically Alcatel rebranded by Vodafone

Back then cheap mobile phones were garbage and flagships were a decent deal for the price, nowadays the cheap mobile phones are a decent deal for the price and flagships are too expensive and have a ton of useless crap tacked onto it like a flexible display to hike the price up.
