Which Motorola phone is the right for me?


Motorola has a large smartphone lineup, so sometimes it might get confusing as to which phone is for you. If you want the best from Motorola, the Motorola Edge Plus (2023) and the Motorola Edge (2023) are what you're looking for. These phones offer amazing performance, modern design, very good camera setups, and great value for money. 

Motorola offers several foldable phones, which are deeply discounted during Black Friday 2023. So, if you like the clamshell foldable form, the Razr (2023) or the Razr+ may be ideal for you.

The Moto G family is a budget phone lineup that offers amazing value for money. All of the Moto G phones have longer than average battery life, with some like the Moto G Power (2022) capable of lasting more than two days on a single charge. The Moto G Stylus 5G is another great phone from the series with its big display and fast processor.

Are there unlocked Motorola phones on Black Friday?


The Black Friday deals at Motorola's website are usually for unlocked models, and the same can be said about Amazon's deals. Best Buy does offer unlocked Motorola phones during sales, and now all of its Moto deals don't require activation. Of course, if you go for carrier Black Friday deals, the Motorola phones there would most probably be locked. 

However, as we already indicated, there are many options to get an unlocked Motorola phone during Black Friday: mainly Motorola's website, Amazon, and Best Buy. We recommend keeping your eyes on the fine print and deal details to make sure that you are getting an unlocked device.

Where to find the best Motorola deals on Black Friday?


The best Motorola deals during Black Friday are usually found on Motorola's own website, Amazon, and Best Buy. The cool thing is that the retailers, such as Amazon and Best Buy, usually match Motorola's website offers and generously discount the models that you can see discounted there. 

So, you've got plenty of options to get epic deals on Motorola phones during the shopping event. Walmart and Target also have good deals on Moto phones, but the best deals are most likely to appear at Motorola.com, Amazon, and Best Buy.
