    If you are looking for an alternative Tesco mobile have the Moto E for €100. Great phone for the money.

    Ah ok.

    For any network under €100 I'd recommend the Vodafone smart 4 turbo - I think its the cheapest 1gb ram phone you'll get.

    I'd go for a cheap Huawei over HTC on Meteor - they're easier to unlock and root etc and again wont be too expensive to get that crucial 1gb ram (its about the only requirement I tell people is essential to look for in an android phone now).

    Hell, if you're willing to go online I'd suggest the Moto g. Funny, I remember someone recently saying Xtravision had the old 8gb ones for sale around that price.

    Stay away from the Sonys.

    They're plagued by hardware & software issues, are horrible to try to unlock if not sim-free and are abandoned by Sony too soon after for a newer upgraded model. There's a reason Sony are not happy with their sales numbers.

    The Ace 3 was 89 for a while on meteor and I think the LTE version has 1GB RAM. Smaller screen than the 510 though.
