gjesse: used 5x? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nexus-5X-H790-16GB-Carbon-Unlocked-Smartphone-w-Bundle-/222519737353?hash=item33cf35bc09:g:FVUAAOSws5pZIjsB

depends on how cheap you’re talking

[gjesse]

i was hoping for cheaper than that, dunno if it's possible to get something decent for $20 - $30

[fitzoh]

that price point is gonna be a little rough

[fitzoh]

could probably find a used prepaid phone

cool.. thanks

[fitzoh]

could potentially find a free one on facebook, most of the nerds I know tend to have a graveyard of old technology

[fitzoh]

just ask around

it's worth noting too.. emulators are pretty good for most android dev, and free 😉 either the emulators bundled with android studio, or a 3rd party like genymotion

[damien5314]

you can at least spoof the gps

👍 thanks!
