Motorola has been trying hard to boost its slumping US smartphone sales with some good deals as of late, but Amazon is taking one of the company’s best deals to the next level by selling the Moto X4 for just $189.99.
Originally released more than a year ago, the shiny all-glass mid-ranger never got a sequel for some reason, receiving, however, a number of discounts over the past few months. Right now, the unlocked 32GB variant has a regular price of $249.99, but if you have Amazon Prime, you can get the Moto X4 for a more than agreeable $189.
At the beginning of November, Spotify Premium subscribers with family accounts were able to score a free Google Home Mini, but unfortunately, the available units got snapped up rather quickly.
If you've missed out on the promo, fret not! The deal is live yet again, and you can nab Google’s smart speaker alongside two months of Spotify Premium for just $1! See how to take advantage of the deal here.

Walmart is selling a 70-inch 4K smart TV at a very alluring price. The RCA Virtuoso typically retails for $1,300, but right now, you can get one for $600. That's a discount of $700 or about 53%!
The 70-inch LED panel on this TV boasts a 4K resolution of 3840p x 2160p. Other notable features include a max brightness level of 300 nits and 5ms response time. The only downside of this model is the 60Hz refresh rate, which is a bit slow for a TV of this size, but hey, it’s $599,99!
