Has anybody tried the $32 SOYES XS11 or $70 or UNIWA XS11

It's a 2.5 inch 3G Android phone. http://www.cwell-hk.com/products/SOYES_XS11.aspx

Lots of small Android phones are in the recommended section on cwell-hk in the $40 range.

I wouldn't recommend them. Almost every single one is using a very old version of android.

Which is surprisingly usable, but there are some apps that don't work.

I also wouldn't actually log into anything unless you're ok being pwned. No security patches, plus sketchy cheap as dirt chips running it.

You can also not type on it. Maybe a sentence, but it'll take you 3x as long if not more trying to correct typos. If you do any text based communication, you're going to have a bad time.

Overall, not worth it.

Right, but can they be hacked to run vanilla upgraded software?

Never tried, not knowledgeable enough in the area. But I wouldn't hold my breath on it. And I still wouldn't trust the chips on the board.

There's definitely been cases of spyware locked onto chips in clever ways. Not good for 2FA.
