Big smartphones are awesome. They're easier for browsing the web, playing games, and pretty much everything. Big phones often have a tendency to cost a lot of money though, and this aspect of them isn't nearly as great as their large, gorgeous displays. Black Friday and Cyber Monday might be over, but that doesn't mean it's too late to save some cash on a new smartphone. Amazon is currently selling the Microsoft Lumia 640 XL at a discounted price, allowing you to score a large phone for under $100.
The Lumia 640 XL boasts a massive 5.7-inch display with an IPS panel and resolution of 1280 x 720, and Gorilla Glass 3 helps to ensure that the screen doesn't get easily littered with scratches and blemishes. A 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor and 1GB of RAM keep Windows 10 Mobile chugging along, and expandable memory up to 256GB via microSD card should mean that you've always got plenty of storage.
When it comes time to take some pictures, a 13MP camera on the back and 5MP camera up front should be perfectly serviceable for Instagram posts, and a large 3000 mAh battery means you won't have to be constantly looking for a wall outlet to charge the phone. The specs here may not be fantastic, but the Lumia 640 XL is a perfectly serviceable handset for someone looking to do simple tasks, such as making calls, texting, and light Internet browsing, on a large screen.
While the Lumia 640 XL normally costs $99.99, Amazon is currently selling it for just $69.99. That's a savings of $30, making an already cheap phone even more affordable. Do note that this is the AT&T model of the phone, so if you're with another carrier, you're going to want to look elsewhere.
