Deal: Best Buy is selling the 2nd-gen Motorola Moto G at just $99.99
The conditions of the deal/s may have changed since the initial publishing of this post.
If you've been looking to purchase a decent Android smartphone at an affordable price, Best Buy's new promotion on the second-generation Motorola Moto G might do just the trick. The retailer is currently offering the 2nd-gen Motorola Moto G at $99.99, which represents a $50 discount compared to the phone's usual retail price.
For a limited time back in late December, Motorola ran a promotional campaign that saw most of the company's devices being offered at discounted prices. Among these promotions, the 2nd-gen Motorola Moto G was offered at $99.99. In the meantime, Motorola exhausted its stock, but it looks like Best Buy is keeping the promotion rolling.
Although launched back in September 2014, the 2nd-gen Moto G remains a decent Android smartphone to this date, especially at just $99.99. The handset includes a 5-inch display with a resolution of 720 by 1280 pixels, meaning that videos and photos are not going to look as sharp as on modern flagships, which flaunt a resolution of either 1080 by 1920 pixels (FHD) or 1440 by 2560 pixels (QHD), but you can't really ask for more at this price.
On the hardware side, the 2nd-gen Motorola Moto G currently runs Android 5.1 Lollipop, but Motorola is planning to update the device to Android 6.0 Marshmallow. In an age when most entry-level and mid-range rarely get updated to newer Android versions, Motorola's decision to launch Marshmallow for the Moto G is a highly applaudable one.

Roughly the same story applies to the rest of the hardware specifications, which include a 1.2GH quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset paired with 1GB of RAM, 8GB of integrated storage space, an 8MP primary camera, and a 2MP selfie shooter on the front.

Unfortunately, Best Buy is selling the non-LTE Moto G version at this discounted price, which may be a setback if you're addicted to high-speed mobile data.
