Cell phone deals without the damn knock-off chargers

The phone accessories department is the largest junk drawer on the internet. Ten thousand damn chargers, all "fast", all "certified", most from brands that changed their names twice this year. Somewhere in there are genuinely good prices on real chargers, cases, power banks and unlocked phones — but you'd never find them sorting by biggest discount, because the biggest discounts belong to the junk.

How we damn well score cell phones

This department gets a higher minimum drop than most, because accessories discount constantly and a routine 20% off is background noise. Every product needs 4.1 stars across at least 200 reviews, and slow sellers must clear a deeper drop than the chargers everyone actually buys. Prices are judged against each product's own 90-day history, and anything more than 75% below it is thrown out as a probable fake list price — a trick this department loves.
