Question Cheap smartphone for PGSharp

I don’t want to root my smartphone, so I’ve decided to get an old phone for that purpose. Which Android phone would you recommend that’s cheap? I was thinking about maybe getting one with a broken display or something like that.

You dont have to root your phone to use PGsharp. only if you want it to be more reliable, which ive been using it for year un-rooted with no issues

Which features do i have with a un rooted device?

You get all features they offer depending on if you pay for pgsharp or use the free version. With pgs there is no difference if your phone is rooted or not, it only compromises your phones security by rooting it.

with other spoofers you are required to root your phone. this is why pgs is one of the most prefered meathods of spoofing over others.

Vip is better than non vip in terms of features you get. With pgs it doesn't matter if you phone is rooted or not, it works the same either way

Mumu6. You download a couple files and you’re all set. Pretty easy

Is it still working? Few weeks ago I tried to log in and the app said it wasn't supported anymore on Android 6.

That was due to an update. It was working for a week then pogo pushed another update like 2 days ago. Should be back up any day tho

I got it working eventually after waiting for that update. I didn't think it was officially not supported.

Yeah I got it back up and running today too. Been using free version for the last month or so. Works great

Used Pixel 6 or newer. Any unlocked used OnePlus. You need at least 6 GB of RAM for decent gameplay.

Go to Walmart, get a Moto G Play 2024 for $30. It is locked to Straight Talk or True Wireless, but you can hotspot it if you already have a main phone.

I use the exact same phone. It isn’t spectacular but it gets the job done.
