Moto X Price Drops to One Penny, Find Out Where
The Moto X will experience a price drop that will bring its tag down to just one cent.
Motorola Mobility will offer customers interested in the device a chance to purchase the smartphone and fully customize it for a two week trial run. The company will build them a custom off-contract Moto X and ship it to them for just a penny. The offer will be available for just one day next week.
The Moto X launched in August of last year and functions as the company's flagship handset. It features specs that failed to wow many critics, but seemed to execute well in other areas including its integration of the Android operating system, which is similar to what is found on the Nexus line. It seems to have grown in popularity thanks to that Nexus feel.
