DEAL: Get the Alcatel Idol 4 and its VR headset from Cricket for $100

The Alcatel Idol 4 was unveiled at Mobile World Congress earlier this year, and has been one of the best budget devices of the year. Now, Cricket Wireless is offering $100 off the device when activating a new line of service.

Alcatel Idol 4 Specs:

• Display: 5.2″ Full HD (1920 x 1080) IPS Display
• Software: Android 6.0 Marshmallow
• Processor: Qualcomm Snapdragon 617
• RAM: 3GB
• Storage: 16GB built-in (MicroSD support up to 512GB)
• Camera: 13MP rear-facing, 8MP front-facing
• Battery: 2,610mAh

In addition to the Alcatel Idol 4, Cricket is also including a virtual reality headset with the device. In order to get the $100 discount, you’ll need to sign up for one of Cricket’s Rate Plans which starts at $30 per month for 1GB of data with unlimited talk and text, and goes up to $70 for unlimited everything. 

The Idol 4 has flown under the radar for much of the year, but is still a great option even at its retail price of $199. When you couple the device with a $100 savings, you’ve got a no-brainer.
