So as far as my pokemon go needs go.... I'm set. I'm doing this for a family member as a potential gift.
Anyway pokemon go has a 4.4 android os (kitkat) or above & a 2gb ram requirement (also phone requires a gyro scope for optional AR mode... not needed tho). It's very easy to find a cheapo android phone that has the operating system requirement but lacks the ram requirement as most cheapo phones only come with 256mb, 512 mb of ram. I did read that once a phone is rooted that you can turn a micro sd card into partitions & format those partitions into part storage & part ram (I also know to look up the micro sd card size compatibility)
So I'm looking for an android 4.4 or above phone that I can guarantee a root will work. I will probably use kingoroot. I'll use the mobile app first then pc method if need be. Said android phone also needs a micro sd card slot that can handle at least an 8gb micro sd card. I want to format 2,3 gigs into ram... maybe even 4 then the rest for storage.
Any intel on a cheapo phone that I can guarantee a root from would be appreciated.
