First Moto G ad hits YouTube as Verizon confirms plan to carry it, but will you buy it? [POLL]
Earlier this morning, Motorola announced an affordable new smartphone that would give people a decent experience for under $200 unlocked. It’s the Moto G, a 4.5-inch 720p handset with a 1.2GHz quad-core processor, 1GB of RAM, 5MP camera and more. Don’t worry in case you missed it — Motorola’s first ad hopes to be enough to get you to see just how big this value proposition is.
To top all of that off, the first major carrier to announce plans to carry the device happened to be… Verizon? That’s right — Big Red is looking to offer this thing in early Q1 2014, though you’ll only be able to get it as a pre-paid smartphone through their network.
Of course, this comes with one unfortunate caveat — without any 4G LTE radios, the Moto G has to stick to Verizon’s EVDO 3G network. While their 3G network isn’t horrible, it certainly isn’t holding a candle to what AT&T and T-Mobile have been able to do with HSPA+.
If you’re going with the Moto G for your smartphone then Verizon doesn’t look to be the best carrier to stick with. That they’re only offering this on prepaid accounts makes it that much easier for you to find a carrier that it would make a lot more sense on. Where will you look to use your Moto G?
