Would this be any good as a back up phone? My Kazam Thunder keeps glitching out, I think it's on it's way out ;)!

I respect that this is 30 quid, but the specs aren't great, don't expect too much!

Not bad, but 1GB memory is always a killer for Android - really restricts the number of apps you can install (even with an external SD card). Not sure it Android 7.0 has addressed this yet (I know version 6 didn't!!)

Even then, it's £30...not sure what you expect for that money. You have to double that to get 2gb of ram

It has 8GB of built in storage. The 1GB is the RAM.

Amazing how people comment on the 1GB assuming it's storage - I doubt the OS itself could fit into that space!!

1gb Ram is still Negative unless using as feature phone only not smartphone. It will keep on giving memory errors .

What do you want for £30?

This shouldn't be a main phone for anybody under the age of 70. It's a phone to buy and then stick in the drawer in case yours ever breaks/becomes lost and you need to use a spare for a few days.

And back in the real world... Most people of any age would be perfectly fine using this phone.

How much life do u get on average ? A day is enough with heavy use.. don't need more tbh..

Honestly, this phone has the best standby of any phone I have ever had (first iPhone I have had, usually an android or blackberry user). You can leave it overnight and it'll only drop 1-2%.
It all goes downhill unfortunately when you're using it, soon as that screen is on you can almost watch the battery drain.
I'd say around 140% gets me through a day with a top up around 15:00 for half an hour. Charging is really fast though, I just wouldn't expect it to last a full day with heavy use.
If you're a sporadic user you could probably get two days out of this easy, if you're using safari, YouTube, hukd etc (I don't have Facebook or Instagram) and you're using them for more than a few hours - expect a top up midday.
I'm going to be selling soon and going for the Sony XZ1 Compact based purely on battery-life. iOS is simplistic but it just works, I don't think this phone has crashed once since I bought in March... the battery life though is disappointing.
If iOS or an iPhone is a must for you though I'd look at the SE or Plus variety, both have better screen on time than the 7.
