Not going to bother checking the links, but I would suggest looking at how popular it is on XDA if you want a decent ROM for it. Ideally, get one with official LineageOS support.

Mate, for those extremely low prices ($35 -$50) I wouldn't be worried about advanced features!
It all depends, (as in everything), what you want to USE it for!!  If it has 2-gb & a slot for a micro
card add-on, (can download what ever apps you like, (sort of!)), has a half reasonable camera,
(no professional shots!), can make phone-calls, Text, & MMS, what more do you want?!!
Obviously you do not want it 'locked' into a particular 'provider'!!  Review each 'option' yourself.
But at that price, most of us wouldn't even worry about quality, if we just wanted a cheap device
as an emergency backup.   It's like having to drive to the shops. You don't need a Lamborghini to do
that!! The 'latest' 'smart-phones' from $600-$1400 are NOT needed for those that want/need basics!

Sorry mate. I thought I did??  It's up to YOU to 'review' the various options for what you want/need ??
You have a computer/laptop/internet as you are on this 'Forum', so you can use Google like everyone else!?

That looks like a nice phone but I would be more concerned about the safety of the battery and the accountability if something was to happen.

Get a nokia instead... their "5.x" series is pretty cheap. I bought Nokia 8.1 as soon as it was available (wasn't waiting for it to be released or anything, it happened to be the newest phone when I was in the market for one). It's been great for me.

I have a "dumb phone" & it was even cheaper, at around $A19!

As far as I can see, the only advantage of a smartphone is being able to download "apps".
I have an iPad if I need to do that!----my fingers are too "sausage like" for that, so an even smaller set of keys without any tactlie feedback are a huge disincentive to use such a device.

Meantime, the "dumbie" has a normal phone keyboard instead of a "pretend" one, can take "poorish quality" photos, can send & receive texts.
As it is "dumb" it can't use the Covid 19 contact tracing app----------bummer!

You should try one of those 8 inch phones

What's funny....my first touch screen phone was 3.5 inch and as I grew older. They've increased the sizes of screen as if they were doing it for me. When I take my old phones out just for nostalgia, I find those GUI buttons to small for me to use. I have a 6.1 inch phone now.

Ha!!... I know what you are saying, generally. However, even a most basic/cheap "smart" phone does not have
to be used like the kids do, with a myriad of useless games/apps that just want 'money' to proceed...
The main 'power' could be to simply use them as a 'Sat-Nav' with visual/voice directions on the road.

Modern smartphones are much more.
Most of the paid apps that I have were paid through google rewards money. And I don't have any game installed right now...

I have a dedicated electronics resource app called electrodroid and I have steam remote play (originally meant for gaming but I use it to control my PC in and around my house). Plus multitasking experience is unmatched by any other generation of phone. I could be listening to music while having a datasheet and schematic opened as two separate window while I work on my stuff.
