It's also $149 at B&H, unlocked. That price used to include a mint mobile 3 month sim but now it just includes 2 moto mod shells (cosmetic).

I grabbed one for $99.00 a few months ago and it was really easy to cancel Verizon service within 3 days. Very solid phone and it doesn't suffer the reception issues that plague the whole G7 line.

Does a credit check happen or anything negative?

For Verzon, it's a hard pull and credit score will drop a few points. Credit score will go back up after a month or two if your credit score is good to begin with. Many people have done this many times with no long term negative impact on their credit scores. This of course does not apply if your credit score is not good such as unpaid bills, high credit utilization, etc.

For Sprint, you can do no credit check.

Good deal. Not too shabby

Is this better than a G7 or Samsung A20?

It's better than a G7 in my opinion especially since it has B71 for TMo, G7 does not. The Z line is generally better than the G line.

My sister bought this directly from Motorola in Nov and she's running Android 9 with Nov security patch, I just had her check.

You aren't saving much for example through Verizon even with Activate Today

99$+ 40$ Verizon Upgrade Fee +Tax

Thanks, I think I'll get this for my aunt. She's been using the iPhone SE and pretty sure she can barely see anything on that screen.

Heads up. Phone comes with about 40% storage space occupied. Better pick up a MicroSD card for cheap.

The G7 Power Does have band 71 (not the other G7's), screen res is low, but for the constant social media user, the 5000mAh is a beast of a battery! This model is a year newer than the Z3 and will get updates longer. That being said, the Z3 is/was closer to a flagship type phone than the G line.

Same deal for the G7 Power Unlocked at BB. $99 for sprint or VZW, new line or new account. . .for those playing the buy and cancel service game.
