It’s finally time: Cheap smartphones for everyone
My husband long refused to buy a new smartphone, but last week, he surprised me by picking up a Huawei Y6, which set him back just over €100.

My husband has held out for a long time against acquiring a new smartphone. He had an old iPhone a few years back, but he switched it out for a revamped, cheap ($40) Nokia 3310 and refused to budge. Phones, he argued, have become fancier than he needs them to be, and too expensive. But last week, he surprised me by picking up an affordable smartphone, a Huawei Y6, which set him back just over €100.
It turns out he's right on trend – cheap smartphones are finally becoming a thing. From Samsung to Xiaomi to Huawei, companies are starting to turn out low-cost, fully loaded smartphone options.
