This Friday is fast approaching, and you might be waiting not-so-patiently to get your hands on a brand new smartphone. The bad news is most smartphone “deals” come with a pricey two year contract, data caps, and “valuable upgrade plans” like AT&T’s Next or Verizon’s Edge. The worse news is the Nexus 6 is $300 more than last year’s Nexus 5, so you won’t be finding a deal there. The good news is that both the Motorola Moto X and the OnePlus One will be either on sale or for sale, respectively, this weekend.
Motorola’s Moto X is a popular 2014 device, and deserves all of it’s notoriety. $500 is really a good deal for what you’re getting: a 5.2″ 1080p screen, Snapdragon 801 processor, 2 GB of RAM, and a customizable look all combine to make the Moto flagship quite the deal. However, to improve the value even more, Cyber Monday will drop the price even more to $360 for the 16 GB version and $410 for the 32 GB version, bothe unlocked. Definitely keep your eyes peeled for this deal. I was too slow last year for Motorola’s similar deal with the 1st Gen Moto X.
The OnePlus One is the myth and the legend when it comes to 2014 smartphones. The device has been invitation only for most of the year, and when there were ways to get invitations, it usually went south. But OnePlus is a small, young company with big ideas and a great product, and this weekend is its chance to show it. The device will be for sale to anyone for three days. The 16 GB version will be $300 and the 64 GB will be $350. The device features much of the same specs as the Moto X, but with a larger screen, more RAM, and a better front camera.
If you want certain quality, your best bet is probably the Moto X. If you’re more of a risk taker that likes to experiment with tech, go with the OnePlus One. Either way, comment here and let us know what you decide to do!
