The Motorola Moto X is a 4G capable handset that runs on Verizon’s 4G LTE system in the United States. That phone recently retailed for $99 on contract, but during this Black Friday and Cyber Monday holiday week, the kingpin of Internet retailers is basically giving the phone away. At the Amazon Wireless store online, the Motorola Moto X 4G is currently retailing for just $0.01 with a standard contract.
This is a substantial price reduction for the Motorola Moto X, a handset which offers a generous RAM memory allotment, one of the larger displays found on a mobile handset, True HD resolution and a 10.0 megapixel quick capture camera. Debuting in late August of this year, the Moto X debuted Motorola’s new X8 package of processing cores. By uniquely customizing a Snapdragon S4 Pro dual core 1.7 GHz CPU, quad core processor, language processing core and separate contextual computing core, the Motorola Moto X experience is quicker and more efficient.
Coupled with special light and proximity sensors, that processing package also helps conserve battery life. This delivers at least 13.0 hours of talk time after a full battery charge, and roughly 10.0 days of standby battery power. Running on the Verizon network in the United States, the phone also delivers a large 4.70 inch AMOLED screen with a pixel density of 316 pixels per inch. That multitouch, capacitive display protects against scratching and chipping thanks to a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass, and the back of the phone is protected by durable DuPont Kevlar fiber.
Weighing just 4.59 ounces (130 g) means that the Moto X is lighter than most phones with such a large display, and the 2.0 GB of RAM allows for speedy and efficient multitasking. The Moto X includes 16 GB of onboard storage, also delivering a free 50 GB of virtual storage on Google Drive. The quick capture camera mentioned above records video in 1,080P HD resolution and in stereo sound.
That rear shooter also records video in a True HD 16 to 9 aspect ratio, and is capable of slo-mo video recording as well. A 4X digital zoom brings your subject up close, both auto and touch to focus are on board, as is a wide angle panorama mode, LED flash, geo-tagging and face detection. Built into the front of the Verizon Moto X 4G is a 2.0 megapixel camera which offers video chat and video call support. The Moto X can also be used as a central wireless Wi-Fi hub for multiple devices. You can also purchase the Verizon Motorola Moto X handset at a discounted price tag at select online retailers starting at just one penny.
