For less than a large pie of pizza, you can buy an Android smartphone instead.

Yes, throwaway smartphones have arrived, and Walmart's selling them for $10 ($9.82 if you're really counting the pennies). As spotted by Motherboard, TracFone's Lucky LG16, an LG-made smartphone, has better specs than the original iPhone.

You're not getting the latest and greatest, but for a burner phone, a phone for your kid, or even the elderly, this $10 smartphone could be enough.

The phone has a 3.8-inch display, a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, a 3-megapixel rear camera and a 4GB of storage from its included microSD card. It also runs Android 4.4 KitKat; sure, it's not the Lollipop or the new Marshmallow, but it's a stable OS. It's 3G-only — no 4G LTE — but come on, the phone's $10.

At the time of this writing, the Lucky is sold out, but it looks like Walmart also sells the TracFone Sunrise L15G, which appears to be identical to the Lucky and costs $9.82, too.

As Mashable's Product Analyst, I would advise most people to stay away from such low-end phones. Though I haven't tried these $10 phones out myself, the specs tell you you'll get what you pay for. There are plenty of other budget phones — while nowhere near as cheap — that will serve you better in the long run, including Motorola's $180 Moto G, $150 Moto E or even the new $250 One Plus X.

Or, you know, you could buy a couple of football teams' worth of these phones instead of buying a single 16GB iPhone 6S.
