Motorola Moto X now Permanently Priced at $399, without Contract: Finance Offer to Purchase Moto X

After being purchased by Google in 2012, Motorola sought to reinvest itself in 2013 with the release of the Moto X. Now the company is starting off 2014 right by reducing the price of its flagship smartphone.

New York: Motorola announced that the Moto X is now available at every carrier off-contract for $399. The company emphasizes that this price is permanent going forward and that it applies to all versions of the Moto X, including the fully customized phones made through the Moto Maker. In other words, you can get that awesome Moto X with wood paneling for the same price of a 32GB Nexus 5.

With this new pricing, Motorola encourages consumers to go with the more affordable pre-paid wireless plans that many carriers offer. It estimates that a consumer could save hundreds of dollars over the two years that they would normally be locked into a contract with a subsidized phone.

Interestingly enough, Motorola is also offering to finance a new Moto X for the consumer that can’t afford the full $399 price tag up front. In the fine print, Motorola says that a new Moto X can be yours for $0 down and interest free if the device is paid in full over the course of 6, 12 or 18 months.

Verizon Moto G launches at Best Buy for $99.99, off-contract

Remember those leaks from earlier this weekand showed the Verizon Moto G inside of a Best Buy store, complete with its retail packaging and a $99 price tag? Well it looks like those leaks were spot on. Best Buy has confirmed to the Los Angeles Timesthat the Verizon variant of the Moto G is now making its way into stores and that the device will be “available for sale as soon as it arrives.”

Pricing for Verizon’s prepaid Moto G is set at $99.99, which is $80 less than the GSM variant that Motorola is currently hawking. Just because the Verizon Moto G is cheap doesn’t mean that it’s a bad device, though; with its 4.5-inch 720p display, 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon 400 processor and 2070mAh battery, the Moto G is one of the best performing budget phoneson the market.
