Marked down by a cool 50 bucks from its already reasonable list price of $299.99 for the first time during last month’s Prime Day festivities, the Moto G Power 5G (2024) surprisingly retained that discount even after the conclusion of Amazon’s big summer sales event.
Even more impressively, the big-battery 6.7-inch mid-ranger is now available at a new record low price from Best Buy after an enhanced discount of $60 with no strings attached and no special requirements.
That’s… not exactly an earth-shattering deal, barely improving on those previous offers by $10, but if you consider yourself a professional bargain hunter, you probably know every buck counts, especially with the start of a new school year upon us all.
At $239.99, we’re not sure we’d call the Moto G Power 5G (2024) one of the all-around best back to school deals out there today, but if you’re willing to let Best Buy connect your new phone to a carrier right off the bat, you can knock that down to $139.99 without jumping through any other hoops.
This is a 120Hz refresh rate-capable device with an almost surprisingly premium-looking vegan leather back, a hefty 5,000mAh battery equipped with 30W wired and 15W wireless charging technology, two excellent rear-facing cameras (by mid-range standards, at least), and a respectable MediaTek Dimensity 7020 processor.
That 8GB RAM count and the 128 gigs of internal storage space are practically all you can realistically hope for in the sub-$300 price bracket today (not to mention the sub-$250 segment), while Motorola’s software support… might prove to be the only major weakness in the long run. But is it an absolute dealbreaker? That’s obviously for you to decide.
