Deal Of The Century: ‘Motorola Moto Z’ Only $1 At Best Buy

There are some incredibly cheap phones in the market right now that offer great performance that exceeds the price such as the ZMax Pro by the Chinese company, “ZTE.” The “ZMax Pro” costs only $99 which, for a smartphone, is considered by many a steal. However, the “Motorola Moto Z” dwarfs that number as it is being offered at Best Buy for only $1. No, that is not a typo.

The Motorola Moto Z is the definitive modular phone. It offers users the opportunity to change many of its aspects, including adding a boom box speaker to installing a workable projector, but not the processor or the internal storage. Now, Best Buy is offering the innovative device at only $1, with the condition that the user will sign up for a two-year contract with Verizon.

As CNET reports, customers now have the chance to own a “Moto Z” with a 32GB storage capacity for less than what a slice of pizza costs. Meanwhile, its more powerful sibling, the “Moto Z Force” will cost $99. In either case, customers can save $200.

Of course, the caveat of being locked in with Verizon is something that needs to be taken into deep consideration, since the costs will likely stack up anyway. This could then remove any prospect of savings on the part of the user once the two years’ worth of payments is added up.

Then again, the modular units do offer several desirable features that Forbes took note of. Citing the modular capability of the “Moto Z” and the many corresponding mods that could then be attached to the device, Forbes calls “Motorola’s” new offering a “True Modular Smartphone Innovation.”

In terms of performance, the smartphone has been receiving a lot of praise, particularly for a device that’s thinner than even the “iPhone 6S.” Taking all of this into consideration, the $1 and $99 deal by Best Buy could be worth looking into at least, even with the Verizon contract caveat.
