Cheapest New and used smart phones in phnom penh

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I have a Xiaomi Redmi 3 that I'll sell for $40. Original box, charger, etc. Paid $135 2.5 years ago. Works perfectly, except the battery lasts 2 days instead of 3. No dents or scratches. Look up the specs. Wife really only used it for Facebook and Whatsapp. PM me
I am sooooo very sorry if you can't understand or appreciate my sarcastic facetiousness.

Don't bother with crappy 2nd tier brands or mid-range models, just get used flagships

I would recommend you go to the SMART mobile phone shops. Depending what you want from them they have all sorts of different phones that work well in the $80-$150 range, all come with a 1 year warranty and also usually come with 3 months of data plan (1GB per week)

Just make sure they're not locked for the SMART network. It might be the best provider in Phnom Penh, but has no nationwide coverage.

Has anyone ever come across phones locked to networks in Cambodia. All the phones I have known about have been unlocked.

Oops. It's a 3s. Everything else is correct. @Pedroviera PM me when you're in town. Cheers.
