Moto X

Moto X

Price: $100 (w/two year contract)
While its spec list may not sound impressive on paper, its sure to blow you away on the performance end. The Moto X has been built with a Motorola X8 chip inside, which focuses heavy on multitasking and energy consumption. It keeps the energy flowing on the Moto X, alongside the 720P HD display. Plus it is a beast in the battery department and runs close to pure vanilla Android, so no bloatware folks. Other touted features include Active Notifications and Touchless Controls allowing you to activate Google Now without even being near the device.

HTC One Mini

HTC One Mini

Price: $100 (w/two year contract)
A smaller version of the HTC One, the Mini goes down to a 4.3 720P Super LCD Screen, dual-core Snapdragon processor, and smaller battery. The One Mini is suited more for the consumer that isn’t looking for the biggest and most expensive phone out, but still wants a reliable device with the HTC’s great build pedigree. It still retains the Ultrapixel camera, Sense 5.0, Blinkfeed features, and those great sounding dual speakers that we all know and love from its bigger sibling. Consider it the king in the midrange market.
