Alcatel Pixi 4
Worth it if…Worth it, with caveats.
A very cheap phone with real compromises, but a viable option for about $30 if budget is tight; spending $50 more gets a clearly better phone.

In my words
Straight from the video. Tap a timestamp to hear me say it.
“If you can afford to spend an extra $50, it will definitely be worth it.”
“this phone offers most of the things that more expensive ones do at a serviceable level is quite impressive”
“you're still getting better value for money because it's easy to forget just how cheap this phone is”
