          AnonD-66956, 07 Aug 2017there is no point of arguing with you as our requirement is... moreStock android or not, apps work on most android versions. Many even managed to work on forks like Nokia X.
          SD200 might be old, but thats an example. There are plenty of crappy mediateks sold and none can run Android properly.
          Whatever the requirements, stock android is garbage filled with googles bloatware. Custom ROMS, skins and forks are better.
          There are crappy skins out there, but that doesnt mean we should blame all of them

              that should be enough.

              And your xiaomi is fast not because its android, but because its customised, skinned rootd android on sd650.
              Try android on sd200 and then see what happens.

              My point stands: Googles plain half baked android is garbage. You need to optimise it and remove googles bloatware (play books, live and yes even maps) to have a proper user experience.
              In my home country, Sygic maps has better maps than ether google or here. Where Im living now, I dont get my home countries apps on play store.
              So I disable play store as well as gmaps and use apk pure store instead: m.apkpure.com

I have rooted and installed that eu rom it has 4k recording and hdr video recording. Plus there is no bloat. The best part is that it is still in warranty even after rooting. Beling android it does not lag cz miui and sd650 processor. That is why it is worth of every penny.

                    As for Windows, I bought a couple only because they were made by Nokia. And the software as a whole is worse than Android. Its so bad that it makes me angry just thinking about it.
                    Its as if they tried on purpose to make the worse OS possible.

                    But thats only due to the product planning and UI design. If you ignore the idiots in Microsofts Marketing and Management department, then Windows is an excellent OS.

                    I bought a Lumia 535 at 120 USD with free accessories and vouchers worth at least 40 USD and a another Lumia 640 XL at 85 USD.
                    Both are Buttery smooth most of the time although loading takes time due to the weak processor.
                    Of course prices are determined by demand and supply but the processors are the same regardless of the OS, and windows in terms of efficient use of resources is leagues ahead of Android.
                    I have yet to mention the quality of hardware features at this price point.

                    As for apps, I never bought a W7 phone, W8-10 had less apps than Android but it didnt matter at this price point. But now, MS themselves have ditched WP.
                    Its not longer usable. I sold the L 640 and the L535 is gathering dust. I'll use it as an emergency phone

                      But heres the thing: a good low price android phone doesnt have googles android on it.

                      Just wondering, does it come with Googles garbage like play books, movies store and the lot? Because the first thing I do is disable the REAL bloatware: Googles non-removable bloatware.

                              Does make a difference if an app is there or not since 99% of androids at this price point ar horrible. They hang so much with these apps, its better to bang your head on a wall.

                                        Anonym, 06 Aug 2017"Better" is a relative term, that isn't even universal, but... moreSince we were talking about an optimized OS with as little lag and resource hog as possible, 'better' is Sony's Xperia since its efficient while at the same time sacrifices limited features.

                                        A 70 usd tizen device doesnt need to have as many apps, and android is useless at that price range since its by its nature heavy and bloated and cant even use all its apps.
                                        Thats like a car with no engine. No matter what your definition of better is, that simply wont cut it.
