  • Wanted: cheap second hand phone with good battery life, solely to be used for playing mp3s through built-in speaker

    I want to gift somebody a phone they can use to play music.
    They want a little "radio" that they carry around in their pocket.
    I use iPhones myself but they are a bit older and not very tech-savvy so I thought android would be better, to have the ability to just copy music from the desktop via usb, without syncing / libraries, etc.

    Ideally:

    • with good battery life (even when already a bit older..)
    • with good built-in speaker (it will not be used with headphones)
    • readily available for cheap on the used market
    • all other functions (apart from playing music) are not relevant

    Thank you in advance for some recommendations!

  • You mean an mp3 player with a built-in speaker? I wasn't even aware things like that existed..

    ..also I guess I was somewhat set on using an old phone for this as, while it's not needed to make calls / use the internet etc. they could also have a couple useful apps on there like a tea-timer etc.

    Whatever kind of device it is - sound quality should be somewhat decent at low volumes.
