HTC One (32GB)
Price: $50 (regularly: $200, on-contract)
Buy: Best Buy -- AT&T, Sprint, Verizon
We weren't shy about how much we loved the HTC One when it arrived back in the spring. The handset earned a 96 Engadget Global Score and now has an attractive $50 price tag from the folks in the blue shirts. Depending on your carrier choice, silver, red, black and blue models are available should you decide to splurge for the metal-clad device.
Apple iPhone 5c (16GB)
Price: Free (regularly: $99, on-contract)
Buy: Best Buy -- AT&T, Sprint, Verizon
The more colorful of Apple's two handsets that were unveiled this fall is quite the value at no cost with a two-year agreement. According to our Price Drop tool, this is the lowest the multi-hued gadget has been since mid-October. Of course, the choice of color is yours once more here.
