Uswitch comments on launch of The Rook, The UK’s cheapest 4G smartphone from EE

Commenting on the EE launch of the cheapest 4G smartphone in UK, Rob Kerr, mobiles expert at Uswitch.com, says: “4G phones under £50 aren’t exactly littering the ground, so this is a compelling offer for those of us on tight budgets.

“If you’re only planning to spend £50 on a smartphone, it’s unlikely 4G is high on your priority list, but there will be people who want fast mobile internet on a shoestring, and The Rook certainly fits the bill.

“In terms of specs, The Rook has solid, entry-level features including a fast processor, the latest Android 5.1 and all-important 4G, so this is a good bet for EE pay as you go customers who want the 4G experience for less.

“But beware that the handset will be locked to the EE network, so you’ll need to fork out an unlocking fee if you want to use it on other networks.”
