No Contract Phones 2014

There are several people here (me included) on the look out for an inexpensive no-contract phone to be used as a pocket-sized media player. BF is a great time to get one, because prices get really low. The key thing is to avoid getting an underpowered device. This post will list the phones and key specs. Prices and stores will be listed on the front page.


Key --> OS--CPU--GHz--RAM--storage--mSD--display--ppi

Recommended
  • LG Volt ----> 4.4--quad--1.2--1GB--8GB--64G--4.7"--234
  • Kyo Vibe --> 4.3--quad--1.2--1.5G--8GB--32G--4.5"--245
  • Gal S III --> 4.4--dual--1.5--2GB--16G--64G--4.8"--306

Conditional (because of low storage)
  • HTC Desire --> 4.4--quad--1.2--1GB--4GB--128--4.7"--208
  • LG Tribute --> 4.4--quad--1.2--1GB--4GB--32G--4.5"--207

Questionable (because of low RAM or low storage and older CPU)
  • Lumia 635 --> 8.1--quad--1.2--0.5GB--8GB--128--4.5"--220
  • Moto E -----> 4.4--dual--1.2--1GB--4GB--32G--4.3"--256
  • LG Realm --> 4.4--dual--1.2--1GB--4GB--32G--4.5"--207
  • LG Ult 2 ----> 4.4--dual--1.2--1GB--4GB--32G--4.5"--199

Not Recommended (because of low RAM, low storage, and older CPU)
Key --> OS--CPU--GHz--RAM--storage--mSD--display--ppi

Warning --> if at all possible, avoid phones with less than 1GB RAM

Caution --> beware of phones with more than one of these low end specs
