New cheap mobile required

When I read "which mobile should I buy?", I cringe, but I am doing just that. After much delay, I entered the world of smart phone's and bought a second hand Lenovo A816, (£80) which now I've got used to being "on the net", using a Life Mobile Sim only contract, feel I would like a better slightly more modern device.
Would anyone care to suggest a model preferably reliable but as cheap as chips.

Bit? yes, couldn't agree more. I bought it in a hurry when staying with family elsewhere. It came from one of those "phone shops" where they do trade in's.

and... do you really "NEED BETTER" phone?0 -
Another vote for smart Ultra 6, camera could be better but other wise good. Only way to get better value is import from China, but then there is no real warranty.0

To be honest i would stay well clear of that ebayer with all the Negs he/she has.
The ultra 6 has a octacore processor and for under £100 its a really good budget phone.Nobody is Perfect. I am Nobody, therefore I am Perfect.0 -
Also Ultra has Android 5 not 40
