As a part of its latest promotion for Prime members, Amazon is offering some decent discounts on two Android handsets, namely the BLU R1 HD and the Moto G4. Both the unlocked smartphones are now available at a $50 discount each, provided that the buyer doesn"t mind advertisements showing up on the devices" lock screens.
