Motorola Moto X4 drops to $189 with Amazon Prime

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 Amazon's markdown takes $60 (or 24%) off that.

There’s only one catch - you need a Prime membership to be able to take advantage of the deal, but on the bright side, Prime Exclusive phones no longer include ads and “sponsored screensavers.”

You can also activate the unlocked Moto X4 with your favorite carrier, be it AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon or Google’s Project Fi, not to mention this is one of the very few mobile devices around supporting hands-free Alexa interaction right out the box. Speaking of the “out the box” experience, the X4 should be powered by Android 8.1 Oreo on the software side of things, with official an official Android Pie update just around the corner.

Even though the Moto X4 is naturally not getting any younger, its specifications are still pretty remarkable for that discounted $200 price point. We’re talking IP68 water and dust resistance, decent Snapdragon 630 processing power, 3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage space, dual 12 + 8MP rear-facing cameras, a single 16MP selfie shooter, a front-mounted fingerprint scanner, and an “all-day” (allegedly) 3,000 mAh battery.
