Best Android for WigleWifi
For a low-cost Android phone with good GPS performance, I'd recommend looking at older models like the Moto G series or Samsung Galaxy S5. They usually have reliable GPS and decent battery life, and you can find them for a good price on eBay. As for the CDMA/GSM world phones, yes, they should be able to detect both types of towers, which could enhance your Wigle experience. Just make sure GPS performance is solid on the model you choose!I have a Motorola Droid 2 that I was using just for Wigle (no cell service), but lately it won't get a GPS lock. Are there any recommendations for low cost Android phones that could be picked up on eBay that work great with Wigle. I'm looking for something that doesn't take a year to get GPS lock and has serious battery life. Also if you had one of the CDMA/GSM world phones would that detect both towers?
According to this user the Samsung Galaxy S7 is the best bang for the buck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ibg0tg ... x=9&t=163s
That was talready wo years ago and next year this model will celebrate it's 10th anniversary. But the specs are pretty awesome for a phone launched in 2016. It will do trick and you'll only lack Wi-Fi 6 support. Ebay has still a lot to offer, mainly from sellers in the USA or China.
I can vouch also for the oneplus 6/6T from 2018 running Android 11. The only downside to it is that you won't have an external SD card slot.

the S7 is nice (i run 2 on lineageos) but against a S10 its lame. and the S10 you can get for cheap with a broken but working screen.
But naming a "best bang for buck" is hard, it all depends on how cheap you are willing to go with the defects

Go to Walmart and buy a prepaid device (Straight talk/at&t/etc.) for under $50. I bought a Moto G 5g for $40. No need to buy a plan or pay for activation. Battery life is crazy long when you only have 1 or 2 apps installed (besides the oem bloat that I uninstall or disable).
