In 2014-2015 it was the ZTE Zinger that was the $10 phone
Well the Zinger is dead but long live the new Zinger: the ZTE Paragon aka Z753G
http://ift.tt/1Ot8Ezw
It's the new $5 / $10 phone
Direct descendant of the ZTE Zinger / Whirl2 / Prelude2 / Salem
same dual-core cpu, same OS (kitkat)
uses the exact same battery
can start and run without a battery exactly like the zinger
But the paragon has improved 1GB of ram instead of old 512MB
also the screen is improved to bare minimum acceptable for 2016, 800x480 on 4 inches, vs the Zinger 3.5 inch 320x480
The Paragon is GSM, but there is also a CDMA model, the Zephyr Z752C:

The Zinger was impossible to root - the old model Whirl2 with 4.3 could get partial root via ADB shell only. I suspect the Paragon and Zephyr will turn out the same.
