The Moto G has been available in the US for over a month now and US Cellular has finally decided to offer the smartphone to its customers. The carrier has made the handset available for just $99 which is the same amount being asked by Verizon.
US Cellular is selling the smartphone without any contract, on a prepaid connection. The original price is listed as $189.99, but a discount of $90 is being applied for new customers. You’ll be able to pick up the Moto G with one of the carrier’s No Contract plans that offer unlimited text, data and calling for as low as $50 a month. The only downside here is that the device is a CDMA variant and it cannot be used on other providers.
The Moto G will be available with Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box and it offers a vanilla Android experience. US Cellular is offering the 8GB model for the said price and there’s no word on whether the 16GB version will be available. The smartphone is a smaller version of the flagship Moto X carrying a 4.5-inch HD screen and a quad core processor.
Key specifications of the Moto G:
– Android 4.4 KitKat
– 1.2GHz quad core Snapdragon 400 processor
– 4.5-inch 720p HD LCD
