There was a time when we all held on to our phones throughout the two-year contract, then received a free or deeply discounted phone when we signed a new contract. That doesn’t happen very often anymore. Phones can be purchased unlocked to use with whatever cell provider you want, but they can cost hundreds of dollars. But they don’t have to if you get an unlocked Motorola Moto E for just $120.
This unlocked phone is compatible with AT&T, Spring, T-Mobile, and Verizon networks, though the Sim card is not included. If you choose to add Sprint service, you may need to call for activation.
The Motorola Moto E has a 42-hour 3550 mAh battery that will get you through one full day and possibly as many as two on just a single charge. You’ll get an ultra-responsive performance as well, as it responds instantly to all touches, taps, and swipes, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 octa-core processor. A fingerprint reader is located on the back of the phone to only unlock the phone for you.
A 6.2″ Max Vision display fronts the device. It has an ultra-widescreen that covers edge to edge while also being sized for one-handed use. The 13 MP dual camera system allows you to get creative whether you’re shooting selfies or scenic views.
Save $30 and get this 2020-version smartphone for just $119.99 in white. Get other colors, this year’s version, a Moto G Fast, Moto G Play, Moto G Power, Moto G Stylus, and Motorola One 5G Ace as well, some with similar discounts.
