TL;DR
- Motorola has increased the prices of some of its most attractive handsets.
- The price of Moto G is now $299, the price of Moto G Play is $249 and the price of Moto G Power is $399.
- It’s likely that the lack of memory is responsible for the price increase.
Every day, it feels like everything is becoming more and more expensive. It certainly doesn’t help that the ongoing memory shortage is exacerbating the problem on the consumer tech side. Even Motorola’s offerings aren’t safe, as the company appears to have raised some prices overnight.
