Many of the best Boost Mobile phones are pretty pricey when buying directly through the carrier. Keep in mind that these are all off-contract prices. You’ll likely be able to find them a bit cheaper on Amazon. Without any more hesitation, let’s get started!
Samsung Galaxy S9
The Samsung Galaxy S9 is one of the best Boost Mobile phones you can get at the moment.

It has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor, along with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box. 64 GB of storage, and 4GB of RAM.
The biggest change comes in the camera department. The Galaxy S9 includes a single rear 12 MP camera, which includes a dual aperture mode. The main mode has a f/1.5 aperture, but you can press a button to activate mechanical blades that close down over the sensor, which offers a f/2.4 aperture mode for taking better pictures in bright daylight.
You can get the Galaxy S9 right now for $699.99 at Boost Mobile, although as of this writing, the carrier has cut the price down by $50 in a promotional deal.

LG Stylo 4/Stylo 4 Plus
The LG Stylo 4 is the latest in the Stylo series that offers a smartphone with a big screen, and an included stylus, much like the phones in the Samsung Galaxy Note series, but at prices that are a fraction of Samsung’s flagship series.

Other specs include 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of onboard storage, a 13MP rear camera, a 5MP front-facing camera, and a 3,300 mAh battery. You can get the phone on Boost Mobile for $199.99, although the current promotional price is $129.99. You can also get the LG Stylo 4 Plus, which has most of the same hardware features except for 3GB of RAM and an improved 16MP rear camera, at Boost Mobile for $279.99, but the current promo price lowers it down to $179.99.
