Best affordable smartphone deal: HTC One (M7) for $150 off-contract

If you’re looking for an affordable smartphone that brings the best value for the money at the moment, most people in the know would recommend the Motorola Moto G 2014 edition, along with a couple of other devices. Not everyone would remember the HTC One (M7), unless they heard about a brand new price cut at Best Buy that slashes the cost of HTC’s 2013 flagship down to just $150 off-contract. Yes, you can get HTC’s darling for less than you need to pay for the Moto G.

There is a catch, though: this is the AT&T edition of HTC’s One (M7), locked to the carrier. Luckily, it is not too hard to get an unlock code (they go for around $10), so that you can use the phone on any GSM carrier.

Here is a quick reminder about the HTC One’s specs:

• 4.7” LCD display with a 1080 x 1920-pixel resolution
• Android 4.3 Jelly Bean
• Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 SoC (with quad-core 1.7GHz CPU)
• 4MP ‘UltraPixel’ camera with OIS
• 32GB of internal storage
• 4G LTE connectivity
• HTC BoomSound
