The little Galaxy Europa only has a 2.8″ screen running at 240×320 resolution, but it is one of the few super-budget Android phones that features capacitive display technology. Which makes O2′s GIVEAWAY price tag of £39.99 all the more impressive.
In return for your £40, you also get Android 2.1, a 600MHz processor and a 2megapixel camera. Not great, but damn cheap for a workable Android phone.
Spotted by reader Hecatae, who also sent us that Pulse Mini deal yesterday. He must be in the market for something cheap. He also says there’s an official Android 2.2 ROM for the Galaxy Europa available over at XDA, if you fancy buying one cheap and doing a bit of OS DIY.
The Panasonic Eluga marks the company’s return to the European mobile phone scene years after several years of absence, and it’s come back to us with a moderately high-spec Android model that features a rather stylish, slim case.
The HTC One V is HTC’s third entry in its high-profile new HTC One range, offering a smaller 3.7″ display running on a single-core 1GHz processor. It is is very much the “affordable” option in HTC’s newest Android series, but…
The HTC One S is the piggy in the middle of HTC’s 2012 line-up, offering a 4.3″ AMOLED display inside a very slim and stylish aluminium chassis. The end result is a phone that’s very, very slim and stylish.
HTC’s new quad-core monster, the 4.7″ flagship for 2012 that introduces the Tegra 3 processor to mobile phones, updates HTC’s range to Android 4.0 and brings us the supposedly streamlined version 4.0 of HTC’s Sense user interface.
Sony returns with an all-new mobile design for 2012, pairing a dual-core processor with a 720p display. It’s a lovely phone, but is it enough to end our Samsung and HTC obsession?
LG’s updated Prada phone comes with an absolutely crazy black & white theme, but is it just for fashionable suit wearers who want to make themselves look a bit more interesting?

/ June 25, 2011Be wary of the repeated text issues – http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-europa-5/247377-samsung-galaxy-europa-text-problems.html . I had to send mine back for a refund, though it looks like they might have fixed it since then. Otherwise it’s a nice little phone for the money
