Someone I know recently bought a smartphone. Not a flagship, but a cheap, low-resolution, tiny storage, 512 MB RAM phone. Getting a phone like this seems to me to be almost pointless for the vast majority of people. This user was an exception, but others must be buying these phones too.
First, why get a smartphone that can't run the smart apps? Something with 512 MB of RAM will be horribly prone to lag. Also, a 3.8" screen is pretty much inexcusable on anything but an iPhone 4, which can look good despite the even tinier screen size of 3.5". (Don't forget these phones also have grainy, low-resolution screens.)
Besides the obvious aspects of power and screen, a budget phone like this has even more limited extra features. Don't expect to pay for your Happy Meal with this type of phone.
To me, the choice is clear. Spending the extra money for a powerful phone will save most people time, energy, and frustration.
