Deal: Motorola Moto G5 Plus now costs just $179 at Amazon

Motorola's Moto G5 Plus is one of the best affordable smartphones currently available in the US, so we're happy to inform you that the handset can now be purchased for $50 off its regular price.

Amazon is selling the unlocked G5 Plus (with 32 GB of storage space and 2 GB of RAM) for $179.99 - that's the lowest price we've seen for the handset thus far. This isn't the Amazon Prime version of the phone (which comes with ads and Amazon offers on the lock screen), but the regular variant that normally costs $229.99. Mind you, only the Lunar Grey model is available at $179.99, so the Fine Gold one still costs $229.99. Moreover, the 64 GB variant (with 4 GB of RAM) is sadly not included in the deal.

It's very likely that this is a limited time offer, so act fast if you want to take advantage of it. Meanwhile, if you haven't done it yet, make sure to check out our Moto G5 Plus review and see why we like this smartphone.

Later this year, Motorola will start selling a G5S Plus in the US - this comes with a slightly larger screen (5.5 inches), an enhanced rear camera, and an all-metal unibody design. However, the G5S Plus won't be released before fall, and it's going to be a tad more expensive than the G5 Plus.
