We're preparing for Apple Keynote week, where they'll likely announce the iPhone XI, complete with DNA-scan activation and eight brand new bespoke accessory ports.

Motorola Z2 Force Android Phone for AT&T
Store: Motorola
Price: $399 EXPIRED
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $145
Expiration: October 4

While sadly not a belated Devin Townsend Project tie-in, Motorola's Z2 Force phone was good enough for Engadget to call it the "most powerful modular phone out there". This is by far the best price you'll get if you want it on AT&T, saving you a cool $145. Features include a 5.5" 2960x1440 touchscreen AMOLED LCD, Qualcomm MSM8998 Snapdragon 835 8-core CPU (2.35GHz quad-core and 1.9GHz quad-core CPUs), 4GB RAM, 64GB internal storage, micro SD card slot, with support for up to 2TB, dual 12-megapixel rear-facing cameras and 8-megapixel front-facing camera, 4K video recording at 30fps, and Android 7.0 (Nougat).

Unlocked Blu R1 HD 16GB GSM Android Phone
Store: Amazon
Price: $79.99 EXPIRED
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $50
Expiration: September 20

Blu might not be the first brand that comes to mind when you think about a phone upgrade, but PCMag were very impressed with a slightly older model of the R1 HD as an extremely budget-friendly phone. For just $79.99, you're getting a 5.2" HD curved glass display with fingerprint scanner, Mediatek 6750 1.5GHz octa-core CPU with mali-t860 GPU, 16GB internal memory, 2GB RAM, micro SD card slot (up to 64GB), 13-megapixel rear camera and 5-megapixel front camera, Android 7.0 (Nougat).

LG Tribute Dynasty Boost Prepaid Phone
Store: Walmart
Price: $49
Shipping: Free shipping
Lowest By: $40

But wait – we can go even cheaper. This prepaid LG Tribute Dynasty drops to less than $50 at Walmart. (You can get it direct from Boost Mobile for a buck more, but you'll ruin the "under $50" pitch.) You'd pay at least $40 more elsewhere, so this is very nearly half price. Features include a 5" 1280x720 HD IPS TFT display, MediaTek MT6750 1.5GHz octa-core CPU, 16GB internal storage, 2GB RAM, micro SD card slot (support for up to 32GB), 8-megapixel rear camera with 5-megapixel front camera, and Android 7.1 (Nougat).
