Cyber Monday Deal: Significant Motorola Moto Price Reduction

By Leo | Published on November 27, 2013

Black Friday has traditionally been the biggest shopping day of the year, but in recently “Cyber Monday” (the online version of Black Friday) has been getting more attention. One of the big deals this Cyber Monday will be Motorola’s new phone, the Moto X which will drop its price a $150 to $349 off contract for the new device.

The Moto X is Motorola’s first flagship device since being under the Google umbrella, and it boasts many of the features of Google’s top of the line device Nexus 5. So Android fans will be happy to get a deal on an unlocked version of the Moto X.

According to theverge.com: “For one day only, Motorola will be lowering the cost of all off-contract Moto X smartphones by $150. That means the 16GB model will be just $349.99. The Cyber Monday discount is valid for all carriers, both 16GB and 32GB storage capacities, and the special Developer Editions available only via its website. Motorola warns that “supplies will be limited” and the company says it will be providing more details soon. Thankfully since Moto Maker customization is now available for all US carriers, you’ll have plenty of color options if you do decide to take advantage of the sale.

“The 16GB Moto X is currently priced at $499.99 off contract, so presumably it will be available for $349.99 on Cyber Monday. (The 32GB model should come in at a slightly higher $399.99.) That puts it right on par with Google’s Nexus 5, adding the benefits of personalization and Motorola’s exclusive software features. If those are what you’re after, Monday looks like the day to buy.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
