Amazon Prime Exclusive smartphones are a good way for some users to save money on a smartphone. These Prime Exclusive smartphones have one caveat to them: ads. In exchange for saving some money on the phone, you agree to have ads served to you on the lock screen and notification shade. As annoying as it sounds, it’s really not all that bad. Of course, it’s not for everyone, but if you’re on a budget it’s a good way to go. Amazon announced that they’re expanding their lineup with the addition of the following LG products.

LG has been in the spotlight lately concerning their display in the Pixel 2 XL so it will be interesting to see how these Prime Exclusives fare. There are some pretty significant savings here as the LG G6+ is normally $799USD and the Prime Exclusive is $499USD. Amazon had this to say about their partnership with LG:
“We’re excited to welcome LG as a new manufacturer to the Prime Exclusive Phones program,” said Adrian Hurditch, Director of Product Management, Amazon. “With the additions of the LG G6, LG G6+, LG Q6 and LG X charge to the portfolio, Prime members now have access to a wider variety of the latest unlocked smartphones, including those with premium hardware and high-end features, all at an incredible value.”
