Need a cheap phone? The unlocked LG G7 Fit is just $149 right now (Update: Expired)

A midtier phone when it debuted in late 2018, the LG G7 Fit didn’t get much attention. (LG phones rarely do, which is too bad because many of them are great.) Maybe the $420 price tag made this mostly plastic model — a sort of “lite” version of the LG G7 Thinq — a hard sell. But you know what …
