Intro Basic Category Killers No Contracts Comments 5

Just like their contract-signing friends, these folks have camera top-of-mind when it comes to their prepaid device.

Since many of today's prepaid smartphones are the same flagship devices sold by the post-paid network operators, they can have excellent cameras. Most can shoot 8-megapixel still images and record 720p (if not 1080p) HD video. These phones might be a little bit older than some of the other (on-contract) offerings, but that's part of why they are available for so little. These are all capable devices, perfect for real web browsing and keeping up with your Facebook friends, in addition to taking pictures and sharing them across your social networks.
