This phablet has 8 cores and a screen the size of an iPhone 6s Plus, but it only costs $100

If you want an unlocked iPhone 6s Plus, it’ll cost you between $750 and $950. That’s a whole lot of money to spend on a smartphone, even though it’s one of the sleekest and most powerful smartphones in the world. But if you’re willing to dial back the specs a bit, you can score an unlocked octa-core Android phablet with the same screen size and resolution for just $100 with no service contract. How crazy is that?

It’s time to check out the BLU Life 8 XL Smartphone, which is just $99.99 unlocked on Amazon right now.

Here are some of the key details from Amazon’s product page:

5.5″ HD Display (720×1280): 8MP Main Camera + 2MP Front Camera
