What’s the best cheap smartphone for a reluctant user?

FULL STORY by Jack Schofield: The GUARDIAN

~~QUOTE~~ The Vodafone E8 (£49) and N8 (£79) and the Alcatel Pixi 4 (£99.99) are well known in the pay-as-you-go smartphone market, and have been quite well reviewed. They often come with drawbacks. For example, you may be obliged to buy a £10 “bundle” – which you cancel then drop after 30 days – and get them unlocked.

On balance, I reckon your best bet is the 4.5in second-generation Moto E for £89.99. It’s a 4G smartphone running Lollipop. It’s sim-free and unlocked, so there are no hidden charges. If you shop around, you can sometimes get a new one for around £70. (In passing, the first-gen Moto E was reviewed here by Samuel Gibbs.)
