It is worth noting that some of the handsets are available on carrier plans for even cheaper — the Moto E4 is available for $70 on Verizon Prepaid.

The caveat though is that even though Amazon is offering this deal to Prime members, all such “Prime Exclusive Phones” will be preloaded with ads for products available on Amazon and will also have pre-loaded Amazon apps. These pre-loaded features might not be easy to get rid of. Also, in case you are thinking of availing the discount, but are not subscribed to Prime, you can add an additional $99 cost of the subscription.

Prime membership might serve you well, even after you purchase the device since it offers access to Prime Video, Prime Reading, and Prime Music — Amazon’s large catalog of content will be available for you apart from the free two-day shipping guarantee that the company offers. It also offers photo storage and backup to users with Prime Photos.
