Hurry and get Verizon's Moto G7 Power at a massive discount while you can
If you’re a cash-strapped road warrior, it’s hard not to get excited about the recently unveiled Moto G Power, which is scheduled to go on sale at some point this spring stateside at a reasonable price of 250 bucks with a massive 5,000mAh battery under the hood.
Of course, if you can settle for a slower processor than the Snapdragon 665 powering Motorola’s newest battery life champ, as well as a humbler screen and just one rear-facing camera instead of no less than three, it might still be a good idea to consider last year’s G7 Power.
This 6.2-inch handset with a notch and an unremarkable display resolution of 1570 x 720 pixels normally costs around $250 with an equally gargantuan cell on deck, but obviously, scoring a hefty discount nowadays is not exactly hard. An unlocked model goes for $150 and up at Best Buy, for instance, with upfront carrier activation, and the same retailer charges as little as 60 bucks overall for a Verizon-specific Marine Blue flavor at the time of this writing.
Unfortunately, you can’t simply pay $60 outright and seal the deal, which is exclusively available for new lines of Verizon service and new accounts altogether with a 24-month installment plan. You’ll also want to keep in mind Best Buy is only offering a $60 instant discount, on top of which you’re looking at $5 monthly bill credits for two years bringing your cost down from $10 to a measly $2.50 every 30 days.
Interestingly, Verizon itself is charging the full $10 a month again right now after reducing that to $5 a number of times in the recent past, while the unlocked Moto G7 Power is no longer in stock on Amazon or Motorola’s own official US website.
At $60 and even $120, it’s hard to argue with the quality/price ratio of 2019’s battery king, which also packs a respectable Snapdragon 632 SoC alongside 3 gigs of memory and 32 gigs of internal storage space. Granted, the design and camera are not great, but this is not a price bracket where you can realistically expect greatness.
