Dual 1.2GHz ARM + LCD Display + Wifi + BT + SD + Camera for $10
« on: November 16, 2015, 05:14:19 pm »
Walmart is selling this LG phone for 10$

http://www.walmart.com/ip/TracFone-LG-L15G-Sunrise-Prepaid-Smartphone/44751495

I don't know if it is subsidized but they sell it no strings attached. Shouldn't be too difficult to hack it and use as a controller, for example for a DYI reflow oven.

For an even larger screen and Lollipop, the $50 Amazon Fire 7" tablet is a good deal. I got two for $35 on the Black Friday sale. It is actually a pretty decent cheap tablet. Has cameras, WiFi, Bluetooth and USB OTG. Missing GPS and a light sensor.

Look on the XDA forums for root, mods and custom ROMs http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire. I have both of mine flashed with CM 12. The stock Fire OS is also based on Lollipop, but it is highly Amazonized. CM 12 is much nicer. Someone did a teardown over on XDA.

I don't have any particular project in mind right now, but I figured for the price, I could dedicate the tablets to some task. Maybe interface to a microcontroller or something. If I blow them up, I won't feel too bad about it.

I got two ZTEs for $5 each on Black Friday. Not very good smartphones but still very amazing what you can get for $5 nowadays.
Cryptocurrency has taught me to love math and at the same time be baffled by it.

Cryptocurrency lesson 0: Altcoins and Bitcoin are not the same thing.
