Secondhand Enthusiast imports and alternatives
$162 to $202
Y2KPHONES list it at GBP 119.99 in black and GBP 149.99 in green, roughly $162 to $202, refurbished with APKPure preinstalled. Both colors were sold out when I checked, so treat those as the going rate rather than a price you can pay today.

Connectivity
- Network
- 2G / 3G / 4GGSM, 3G and 4G LTE, with SoftBank's world roaming service. LTE runs on bands 1, 2, 3 and 8, so it roams far better in Europe than in the US, where band 2 is the only one it has.
- VoLTE
- Yes
- SIM
- Physical SIM + microSDOne SIM slot under the battery cover, sharing the compartment with a microSD/microSDHC slot that takes up to 32GB.
- Wi-Fi hotspot
- Yes
- Bands
- 2G GSM 900/1800/1900 abroad. 3G on bands 1, 2 and 8. 4G LTE on bands 1, 2, 3 and 8. Note what is missing: no band 4, 5, 12, 66 or 71, which is why US-compatibility guides write the AQUOS keitai off for American networks.
- Carriers
- Sold by SoftBank as the 805SH and by Y!mobile as the 806SH, and unlocked by exporters. LTE bands 1, 2, 3 and 8 mean band 2 is your only US option and there is no US low band at all, so the band list makes an American line impractical.

Notes
Micro USB rather than Type-C, and there is no headphone jack anywhere on the body. LTE bands 1, 2, 3 and 8 mean no band 4, 12, 66 or 71, so this is a phone for Japan, Europe or the look rather than a US line. Importers add APKPure and a pointer app to sideload past the fixed menu.
