Why You Can Trust CNET The Moto G6 hits an all-time low: $140
The phone was already an incredible value at $249.
This budget phone was already a killer deal at $249. Now Prime subscribers can snag it for $140.
Sure, we'd all love to have a $1,000 iPhone or Galaxy, but the reality is most of us have to make do with something more budget-friendly.
Thankfully, some budget phones are so good, you don't feel like you're giving up much at all. Case in point: The Motorola Moto G6 , which CNET dubbed "a sublime value" at $249.
It just got, er, sublimer: For a limited time, Amazon Prime subscribers can get the unlocked Motorola Moto G6 for $139.99 shipped. That's for the 32GB model; you can get it with 64GB for just $159.99.
The Moto G6 arrived last year to widespread acclaim, offering such unexpected features as a 5.7-inch screen, dual rear cameras (with some pretty decent portrait modes), a fingerprint sensor and a microSD card slot. You'll definitely want to read CNET's Moto G6 review to get the full scoop on performance and such.
Because the phone is unlocked, contract-free and compatible with both GSM and CDMA networks, you can take it to pretty much any carrier.
I'll throw in a plug for Cricket, my chosen provider for the last several years. It taps AT&T's towers and has a 5GB LTE plan for $35 per month with autopay.
The G6 was already an excellent buy at $249. If you're in the market for a new phone that has a lot of the acumen of models costing twice as much, give this a look.
