£54.99 for TIMMY E86 ,is it worth?

[AdanClinton]

Hey,guys

I wanna get a smartphone before Black Friday because My moms' birthday is coming soon(November 25th) and I’d like to buy her a smartphone as a birthday gift ,she is an economist so I don’t want to buy some luxury smartphone such as Samsung or Iphone etc .

I searched from Ebay and added many android smartphones to my basket these days.But I found the TIMMY E86 5.5"Super Large Screen Android smartphone is £54.99 just now,original was £64.99 (only for November 12-14th)

Is it worth to buy ?I have to make a decision before November 15th . Is there anyone who has experience with the smartphone , please give me some advice ,any suggestions will be appreciated.Thank you !

It's probably rubbish. I doubt it will ever get any updates which will be a serious security issue. (It's running 4.4 so it already is an issue.)

Stick to well-known brands if at all possible. ASUS and Huawei seem to do some cheaper models that sound fairly well-specified and will probably be supported for longer. I think Sony and LG also have some cheaper models that are fairly good too.

Hi ,Stephen
I wanna buy this smartphone because it has dual SIM card dual standby and 5.5 inch screen (my mom has poor eyesight ).Android 4.4 is enough for her(if over 4.4 is better ) ,she usually use it to make a call or message,take a photo ,watch video etc .Could you let me know there is any smartphone which has android system over 4.4 but has similar price ?Thank you
