Cheap/medium price Android Smartphone recommendations

googler

I want a cheap or medium-priced Android Smartphone. I've never owned a smartphone before, but do have an iPad.

All I want it to do is function as a phone, have a web browser, and be able to install the app for my home security system (Arlo), which appears to be readily available for iOS and Android. Any other functionality is a bonus. Don't want an iPhone.

I'm off to google for reviews whilst I await replies here, but - any recommendations?

The cheapest ones I see on eBay are by Doogee. Anyone used these?

My recommendation is the LG Leon. I had it and it was great. Still do but barely use it nowadays due to getting a new phone

Vodafone smart ultra 6 (or 7), easily unlocked to all networks by getting a code from ebay for a couple of .

Depends, what medium, you'd call?

From £46 onwards to £500 some people end up chasing specs etc, but in reality, they well cheap and decent at the very lowest end.
