If you’re an Android developer looking for a good phone to use for development and testing, you probably know that Motorola’s Moto G offers so much bang for so few bucks. It’s an even better deal until March 7th, because Motorola is now selling the unlocked 3rd-generation Moto G with 16GB storage for $199 each.
It’s got great specs for a phone in its price range…
- Processor: 1.4GHz Quad-core Snapdragon 410 CPU, Adreno 306 GPU
- Display: 5 inches, 1280 pixels by 720 pixels
- RAM: 2GB
- Camera: 13 megapixel rear camera, 5 megapixel front camera
- Operating system out of the box: Android 5.1.1
…and it’s received glowing reviews from Engadget, GSM Arena, Techradar, Tom’s Hardware, and CNet.
Even at this low price, there are a number of customization options, including front, back, and accent colors, plus some paid optional goodies such as engraving ($5) and protective shells ($30). It’s a phone with top-of-the-line looks, middle-of-the-pack performance, and rock-bottom pricing. And remember, it’s unlocked; you can drop any SIM card into it, and it’s ready to go.
I’m the happy owner of a second-gen Moto G, and seeing the improvements they put into the third-gen model, if you’re looking for maximum Android at minimum price, I can recommend this phone without hesitation. Don’t forget that this deal’s only on until March 7th!
