Rumor: Verizon Moto G to launch for $100 off-contract, as retail packaging leaks

Motorola Moto G aa 13


The Verizon Moto G may launch for just $100, and that’s without a contract, a source that has also posted the retail packaging (image below) said.


The news comes from Google+ user Josue Joseph who apparently works at Best Buy and posted the image above simply saying: “Look at what just arrived!!”.


However, neither Motorola nor Verizon has announced the device, so don’t get too excited just yet.


Interestingly though, the Best Buy employee said that while he doesn’t know the “street date” of the device and he can’t sell it yet, “it looks like it’s going for $100.” He then further cleared the waters adding that the deal does not require a Verizon contract, and revealed that the Verizon Moto G “will not work with anything else.. That explains the cheaper price.”

While Verizon is yet to confirm launch plans for the device, the Moto G is certainly one of the most interesting budget handsets launched this year. The device is supposed to sell for either $199 or $179 unlocked, depending on storage choice, and already runs Android 4.4 KitKat officially, something not many other devices can brag with at the moment.


We’ll be back with more Verizon Moto G launch details once we have them. In case the price is indeed $100, will you buy the device?
