With smartphones becoming a common everyday device, it should come as no surprise that one could buy a nice quality smartphone for less than $100. Of course, there are some disadvantages like lower specs or lower megapixel camera than the high-end-yet-expensive smartphone models -- but a good enough smartphone deal for those looking for a budget-friendly smartphone.
According to Android Authority, the phablet-sized ZTE ZMAX Pro is available for $99. However, the android news site mentions that the smartphone deal is a metoPCS exclusive, limiting the number of smartphone features like facetime usage.
ZTE ZMAX Pro boasts a 6-inch LCD display with 1920 x 1080 resolution, and a 1.5GHz octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 processor. It also has 32GB internal storage, with a micro SD expansion for up to 128GB. It also has a 13MP rear camera and a fingerprint scanner -- a feature you don't usually find in many budget-friendly smartphones.
On the downside, however, ZTE Zmax Pro has only 2GB RAM and a non-removable 3,5000mAH battery. Front cam quality isn't very fascinating, too at 5MP; lastly, ZTE ZMAX Pro runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow. BLU's R1 HD is also has a budget-friendly smartphone deal out in the market right now. For Prime subscribers who don't mind dealing with ads on the lock screen, you can avail the phone for $50 -- or avail for the ad-less version for $99.

BLU R1 HD is smaller than the ZTE ZMAX Pro with a 5-inch LCD display and a 1280 x 720 resolution but makes up for it with a good software package and a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT6735 processor. The BLU R1 HD also has 8 GB internal memory with up to 64 GB expandable storage and 1 GB RAM -- not bad for a $50 smartphone deal.
The BLU R1 HD's camera specs aren't very impressive at 8-mega pixel rear camera and a 5MP front camera with a front facing LED flash. Though not very impressive, it has an HD Display with curved Gorilla Glass 3 protection and allows for dual SIM to compromise.
Lastly, Cheat Sheet lists the Acer Liquid Z410 as one of the best budget-friendly smartphone deal below $100. Priced at $99, Acer Liquid Z410 packs a punch with a 1.3 GHZ quad-core processor and 2GB RAM for a 4.5-inch phone.
On the downside, Acer Liquid Z410 has a 854 x 480 resolution and a 5MP rear camera and a 2MP front cam. it also runs on Android 4.4.4 KitKat and has only a 2,000mAh replaceable battery. But despite the drawbacks, Acer Liquid has LET support, Dual sim slots, and 16GB memory.
