I would compare it to cheap iPhones instead. You can get a iPhone 5 for $100 or less, or a 5S for a little more, or a 6 for about 200, with no contract.

I bought a cheap Kyocera last year and it was a nightmare compared to the experience i would have had with even an iphone 4s. Outdated system software with no updates, a terrible camera and poor reception were my main issues.
