The Moto G price dropped to just $89.99 for customers looking to purchase the smartphone through Verizon.

This new price is only available through Fry's Electronics and those interested only have until Feb. 13 to get this deal. It can be accessed in-store or online through its internet-based store with a limit of one per household. The Moto G is $10 cheaper than the normal Verizon price at Fry's Electronics.

The smartphone also launched for U.S. Cellular on Feb. 10 and is priced at $99.

This version of the device is carrier locked and comes at a time when U.S. Cellular has introduced a new no-contract unlimited plan for $50. This plan includes unlimited talk, text and 500MB of high-speed data, with unlimited 2G speeds.

The Moto G Google Play Edition is now available in Google's online store.

Google Play is offering this new pure Android version of the device for $179 for the 8GB model and $199 for the 16GB version. Google and Motorola basically released the handset without any prior announcements or press releases.

The Moto G was launched last year and is similar to the Moto X. The device packs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor, a 5-megapixel rear camera, 1.3-megapixel front shooter, Android 4.4, KitKat or Android 4.3 depending on the variant, a 4.5-inch LCD display with 720 x 1280 resolution at 329 ppi and 16GB of internal storage.

The Moto G received rave reviews and was even crowned Product of the Year at the 2013 TrustedReviews Awards. The smartphone is an extremely affordable SIM-free handset which makes it even more appealing to the average customer not looking to lock into a contract.

Various versions of the handset have already been updated to Android 4.4 KitKat.
