Unlocked Moto X Price Cut to $299 with Promo Code – Expires July 26

A discount code valid until July 26 has slashed the price of the SIM-free Moto X to just $299 – still the undeniable bargain of the year.

Motorola has launched a limited time deal on the unlocked Moto X, taking the price of the already affordable mid-ranger down to an impressive $299. By entering the promo code MBXISMOT via Moto Maker, buyers can save up to $125 on the regular selling price, though the deal is scheduled to expire later this week…July 26, to be precise.

Despite having surprised the masses at the time of its launch with decidedly unremarkable specs and features, the Moto X would go on to be a phenomenal success story for Motorola. Rivaled only on value for money stakes by the Google Nexus 5…currently selling for $349…the Moto X did a great job of proving that when the price is right, it’s not all about mold-breaking power and top-shelf hardware.

It’s now widely expected that the Moto X+1 will soon take the torch from the Moto X, once again delivering a package that by the time of its launch will be considered mid-range. Stopping short of the new QHD standard fast being adopted by the world’s biggest Smartphone makers, the X+1 is more likely to present a 1080p HD touchscreen around the 5.5-inch mark – the firm’s first official Phablet.
