Even though Motorola took a crack at tickling your funny bone with its super-serious selfie stick, the company isn’t joking around with its latest promotion: $140 off the Moto X (2014).

Thanks to the discount, you can grab the 16GB variant of the Moto X (2014) for $360, a pretty significant discount from the $500 you’d normally pay for it. If you feel a bit claustrophobic with just 16GB of internal storage, the discount also applies to the 32GB and 64GB variants.

If you’re not interested in the Moto X (2014), Motorola also has a 30 percent discount for its accessories. Most notably, the company’s P4000 portable charger is $20, down from $80, while the S10 Wireless Headphones are $30, down from $90.

Finally, if you want to jump into Android Wear, the Moto 360 is currently $50 off, putting the price tag at $200. That’s a pretty good deal for the circular smartwatch, even if its successor could be around the corner.

Regardless of the HTC One M9 and Samsung Galaxy S6, along with the Galaxy S6 Edge, almost available for purchase, the Moto X (2014) is still a great handset to pick up. Even if the Snapdragon 801 chipset and 2GB of RAM aren’t the latest and greatest in terms of horsepower, Motorola’s flagship wowed us with its ability to bring hardware and software together to deliver a fantastic experience.

If you want to take advantage of any of these discounts, keep in mind that they expire on April 2 at 11:59am EST.

If you like cheap phones, you’ll love these 2 new Moto G options

The Moto G Stylus 2023, standing upright on a couch, with its display turned on.

The budget smartphone market is a bustling space right now, with great phones from Nokia and Samsung making big waves. Motorola is the unofficial king of the budget smartphone, but its throne is looking quite shaky right now. That might be why it's decided to remix some classics this year, releasing new versions of the Moto G 5G and Moto G Stylus.

While there are definitely some improvements in the 2023 versions of both phones, Motorola has also made some cutbacks for both, making these new versions remixes of past classics rather than pure upgrades. Here's everything you need to know about the Motorola Moto G 5G (2023) and Moto G Stylus (2023).

Moto G Power 5G adds a flagship feature to a budget phone

Motorola may be making a play for the flagship market with the Motorola Edge 40 Pro, but budget phones are what the American monolith is best known for. While it won't be making as many waves as the latest Samsung phone or Apple iPhone launch, the newest iteration of the Moto G is always something worth paying attention to, as Motorola is a true veteran of the space and knows what makes an excellent cheap device.

Best of all, this new Moto G comes at a time when budget phone enthusiasts have never had it so good. Previously premium features are filtering down into lower-priced devices, without altering that sweet low price or the features everyone loves. That's exactly what's happening with the new Motorola Moto G Power 5G, which includes a 50-megapixel main camera lens, a larger amount of storage, and a big screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. With the big 5,000mAh battery the G Power range is known for, this could be the $300 phone to grab if you love a budget bargain.

A render of the Motorola Moto 70.

Motorola's Moto Watch 70 is on its way to being released soon, as the wearable has just been listed on Best Buy Canada. The landing page reveals the product in its full glory, presenting its key specifications alongside a boring, conventional, and lazy design.

The Moto 70 features a 1.69-inch color display with a 240 x 280-pixel resolution. While we don't know if the display is LCD or AMOLED, the case it's housed in is zinc alloy. You'll get a silicone watch band bundled with the device. As for other features, the Moto 70 sports heart-rate tracking alongside a SpO2 sensor and a gyroscope. Fitness features onboard include 23 sports modes.
