I got a free coolpad smart phone when I signed up with Safelink this year. It's a free phone plan for being on food stamps. However, the phone supplied has something like 378mb of RAM. It is... Not enough. It's not even enough for the OS, much less anything else! Every time I try to use GPS or much of anything it locks up or crashes. It locks up and crashes so much that even something simple like making phone calls was easier on my flip top. I think I need a new phone.
I don't have a grand though to spend on one like most of you, I imagine. Scrounging together about $150 is about all I can do this year. The question is, what on BF could that get me? It would have to have Android and at least 2gb of ram minimum... and also more than 8 gigs of internal memory. The stock apps and OS use up 7.2gb on my coolpad phone and it has no expandable storage, so it's a little ridiculous trying to install or use anything on it. But other than the OS and memory I do not know much of anything about smart phones. Brands, features, carriers, support, etc. What would any of you suggest for one seeking solely performance and value instead of name brands and a status symbols?
