Cell phone technology has advanced quickly over the past two years. Models that were top of the line a few months ago are moving to a lower price point. This means that the savvy shopper can locate a perfectly adequate phone at a lower price by waiting a couple of months.
For example, both Motorola and LG introduced new phones in September (the Moto X, and G2, respectively). When they first appeared, these models were sold as top of the line models. Both feature large screens, fast processors, and LTE radios. Both perform well running Android navigation apps. In Spetember, prices started at $199, plus a two year contract with a cell phone provider.
Fast forward to November. The Moto X or G2 can now be had for $99 plus contract. There's nothing wrong with the phones, no new models have been rumored. But neither phone generated much interest next to the iPhone 5s and Samsung Galaxy S4. So down go the prices.
I expect these phones to be offered for $50 plus contract during post-Thanksgiving sales.
