I recently had a phone with those specs and android 4.1
The worst thing really is the 512mb of ram.
Barely could use apps and calls dropped a lot. It was barely usable and had to purchase a better phone.
I do not recommend anything less than 1gb of ram for Android Jelly bean even if the cpu is not that good.

But since Ubuntu is still months away and mobile technology is getting cheaper am sure most budget phones will come with at least 1GB ram soon.
As you can see is just a matter of time:

However, not saying someone can't try what you suggested.

Subject: [Ubuntu-phone] Possible Budget Ubuntu phone

Hi,I was wondering if Ubuntu will have / support *Budget Phones* (Being £100 or less),
The main budget phones I have seen before are the Samsung Galaxy Ace & Galaxy Mini along with the Europa being the cheapest out of all of them.

Today Vodafone in the UK released a new budget phone (Details @ http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/mobile-phone/vodafone-smart-mini-black#/specifications) . It seems to have a 1Ghz Arm chip with 512MB of RAM. But it runs 4.1,

So my question is will it be possible for any budget phones? When first announced I think I saw the recommended being a quad core with a minimum of a dual core both with 1GB of RAM.

Unfortunately I can't buy the Vodafone Smart Mini as I don't have the money but possibly someone else may want to buy it to try and port Ubuntu Phone to it?

Thanks -
