  • Can't get better value if you want 4G, Decent performance, Has a flash and front camera, not guaranteed on a budget
  • Uninspired hardware, Some interface lag, We prefer stock Android to Emotion UI
  • Open Gallery 4G for this price is incredible value. It's not just the SIM only price that we're impressed with either. At £14 a month, 4G is no longer a luxury - in the UK at least. The good battery life, expandable storage and front camera/fla...

  • Low price for 4G, Quad, core power, microSD slot
  • Low build quality, Childish Emotion UI, Lacks media apps
  • When it comes to finding a super cheap handset that is actually worth the money, it is all too easy just to opt for an older handset or a handset from an unknown manufacturer. With the budget market being one of the most hotly contested handset markets, ...

  • Goodsized screen, okay camera, fast processor, 4G, good battery life
  • Lowres screen, awkward headphone jack placement
  • The battle for the quality end of the budget market is hotting up. The Kestrel may not have the Moto G's style or specs (processor excepted) but it delivers 4G for more than £30 less. Depending on your priorities, it's certainly a contender for the late...

  • Superb value, Good battery life, Cheapest 4G phone around
  • Sub Moto G screen, Interface takes time to optimise, Drab design in parts
  • It lacks a few finishing touches of phones twice the price but the EE Kestrel is an accomplished 4G phone that offers superb value for money without too many compromises.Next, read our best cheap mobile phones round-up or our Android 4.4 tips, tricks and ...

  • Superb performance, Expandable storage, Cat 4 LTE, Good value for money
  • Uninspiring design, Camera lacks versatility, qHD display resolution may put some off
  • EE has achieved with the Kestrel exactly what it wanted to. It offers good value for the money, warts and all. The camera isn't great; the display resolution may leave some wanting; and there's nothing special about its design apart from the poorly placed...
