Many of these phones support 4G speeds and have mobile hotspot capability.

Phones Under $100
There is a good selection of phones under $100 or so. The best bets in this group are the LG Tribute and HTC Desire 510.
Kyocera Event $49.99
While the price is rightat $49.99, the Event tends to get poor ratings. This phone is also offered by Virgin Mobile. Their users rate in the the 2 to 3 out of 5 stars.
LG Tribute $79.99
The Tribute, on the other hand, has a great set of features for its price including a 4.5 inch screen, 4G LTE capability, and a 5 MP camera.
Samsung Galaxy Core Prime $99.99
The Galaxy Core Prime comes witha 2.0 MP front-facing camera which is rare at this price point on a prepaid phone. While its other features don't match those of the other Galaxy phones offered here. The price is a lot better.
HTC Desire 510 $99.99
The HTC Desire offers the largest screen (4.7 inches) within the $100 threshold. It's other features are fairly standard. Note, that it also offer mobile hotspot capability.
Moto e $99.99
The Moto e is one of three Android 5.0 phones offered, and the only one in this price range. A fixed-focus 5MP cameras is one of the compromises this 4G phone makes.
Phones from $100 to $200
Sharp Aquos Crystal $149.99
For $150 you get a 5-inch screen that goes all the way to the edge and an 8MP camera (1.2 MP front-facing). This thin and elegant camera does have a couple of quirks including having its front-facing camera below the screen. It actually make for better video chatting, but you may prefer the standard format.
LG Volt $179.99
The LG Volt offers a 4.7 inch screen and a 3000 mAh battery that keeps your device running longer on a single charge. Other features include an 8 MP camera.
Samsung Galaxy SIII $199.99
It's a tribute to the SIII, that this model still commands a $200 price tag even though it is a few versions old. This iPhone alter ego is preferred by many over some of the new Galaxy models.
And One More
Samsung Galaxy S5 $499.99
The S5 is the most powerful Sprint prepaid phone you can get. Only recently superseded by the S6, this Android 5.0 phone has a 5.1 inch screen and a 16 MP camera (2.0 front-facing).
