Hi HN,<p>I&#x27;m looking for a cheap allround smartphone. No specific requirements. I&#x27;d like to spend less than 60 dollars.<p>Any recommendations?

There aren&#x27;t really any <i>good</i> choices in that price range, your options are basically rubbish or old. Out of the two, I&#x27;d probably pick old and recommend something like an iPhone 4s or a Nexus 4 (used - check <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;swappa.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;swappa.com</a>)<p>If new is important, check out <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tracfone.com" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;tracfone.com</a> - they have Android&#x27;s as cheap as $20 (and worth every penny!)
