Amazon started selling devices with “Special Offers” years back with the e-ink Kindle, but that option came to Android with the “Prime Exclusive” phones. In exchange for a discounted smartphone, you got to see ads on your lock screen whenever you picked up the phone. It was annoying, sure, but many people were happy to take Amazon up on the offer. Now, Prime Exclusive phones are getting much more compelling with news that Amazon is removing the lock screen ads.
[Update: $20 Price Increase] Amazon is removing lock screen ads from Prime Exclusive phones was written by the awesome team at Android Police.
