Very cheap android - under £100
Discussion
I need a very cheap and basic android phone as we develop mobile web apps for work and have to check if they look ok on the most basic phones.
I'm thinking either a Xiaomi 9AT

Or a refurbed Samsung S6/S7

Any others I should consider, or places to look?

The 9at has a pretty poor camera. I have this as my current phone. Other than that, works well enough, but I'm not staring at it all day.I'm thinking either a Xiaomi 9AT

The Motorola E20 is available at Argos SIM free for £79.99. I've got a previous version (about a couple of years old) and it fits the "cheap and cheerful" description. I only use it for calls, texts, Whatsapp and some web browsing and it does it all. It's only 4G if that makes a difference.

Another vote here for whatever Motorola is selling for 80 notes or less at ArgosI have a Motorola "something" in the man drawer from last year when I needed a burner Android for a couple of weeks. It was £80 and perfectly decent.
Yes the camera was cr4p, battery life non existent, memory feeble and it has a snail for a processor but it ran the stuff I use the most without quibble which was a nice surprise
Have to admit to not buying a case and dropping it from a height of about 50cm which produced a crack across half the screen but guess what - you get what you pay for and its still useable with a PAYG SIM for visitors from overseas
