Moto G Now Available To Purchase In The U.S. Starting At $179

Motorola unveiled its new Moto G just a few weeks ago as a mid-range Android device that will cost just $179. At the time of Moto G’s announcement, Motorola said the device would be launching in Brazil initially to then be rolled out to the U.K., Canada and additional regions in Europe in the coming weeks. U.S. customers were said to be able to own the Moto G in early 2014, but it looks like that has since changed as Motorola is announcing the device will be launched in the U.S. in time for the holidays.

Starting today, U.S. customers can purchase the GSM version of the Moto G on Motorola.com for $179 free of any contract as well as any SIM lock and an unlockable bootloader. The $179 price tag is for the 8GB version of the Moto G, while the 16GB will require a bit more cash to be spent as it retails for $199.

For those looking for the CDMA version of the Moto G, it looks like you’re out of luck for the time being as Motorola says they should be expected to launch in the U.S. starting as early as January through their previously announced carrier partners. Hopefully the pricing will remain the same for the CDMA versions.
