In 2016, Amazon launched Prime Exclusive Phones with BLU and Motorola, offering Prime members incredible discounts on fully featured unlocked Android smartphones. The discounted pricing is supported by personalized offers and ads, including deals and product recommendations, displayed on the phone's lock screen. The Prime Exclusive BLU R1 HD and Moto G4 remain the #1 and #2 best-selling unlocked phones on Amazon.com since they launched.
Prime Exclusive Phones consistently rank in our best-sellers list, and are some of the most highly rated unlocked phones available on Amazon-the program has exceeded expectations, said Laura Orvidas, Vice President, Consumer Electronics, Amazon.com. Our goal is to give Prime members a wide variety of offers on unlocked phones at affordable prices, so we are thrilled to welcome a new manufacturer, Alcatel, to the program. As we continue to expand Prime Exclusive Phones with the launch of the Alcatel A30 and the Moto G5 Plus, Prime members now have more options to choose from, with a range of prices starting at $49.99.
The Alcatel A30 is another example of our commitment to offering best in class smartphone value to our customers, said Steve Cistulli, President and General Manager for TCL Communication North America. Adding this device to Amazon's Prime Exclusive Phones program is an exciting evolution of our relationship and ensures that even more consumers have access to our feature-rich and value-packed smartphones.
