From Amazon description:

Wireless Carrier
Unlocked

Operating System
Android 10.0


FWIW: Android 11 is "available":
https://motorola-global-portal.cu.../g_id/1949

If history is any guide, Motorolo is unlikely to support Android 12.

I've been looking for something smaller, but no one makes small phones any more.
I had considered a used pixel 4a, but that is quickly becoming outdated.
For the $250 and under price range, it looks like this is the best deal going right now.

I'm just wondering if I might be able to get a better deal if I'm able to hold off for Black Friday or Cyber Monday.

I'm running this on Total Wireless (Verizon MVNO) on 5G without issue.

This is promising, I was unsuccessful connecting to 5G with this device for Visible. Worth a try from Amazon then. I bought from BHPhoto for $199 OB late last fall, which is the same device posted from BB and AMZN

edit: also just noticed if you search BB questions on this device others confirmed it doesn't connect to 5G on Visible as the device wasnt made for Verizon 5G

Screenshots on Amazon show it to be compatible with Sprint / Vzw… no mention of 5g though!

An s10e might be up your alley. They're about $130 on eBay refurbished. The same size as a 4a. Since this phone is big and just an lcd screen, maybe a new 6a with a year of mint for $339 (which I think is still available).

Android 12 is "promised" for this model https://www.androidupdatetracker....otorola/12
I've been using this phone on AT&T prepaid for nearly a year, am happy with it and have had no issues, my plan does not include 5G so I can't speak for that.
FWIW I have 12 on my Pixel 6Pro and you're not missing much (except the bugs).

OP fix your title. This is an unlocked phone. Amazon messed up it's title but you don't have to.

Visible sells a moto ace on their own web site, its $480, they show it as 5g

My wife has the Moto one uw, it does get uw 5G, we purchased it on Visible web site, since we were scared of it not working correctly.

So I am 100% mixed up, on what will or will not function.

Yes UW is the Verizon version which will get 5G. Also saw 1 Amazon Question answered that says it will work but 5 that say it doesn't get 5G.

This isn't the UW version. None the less, Verizon LTE is still very good and better indoors than 5G.

It only supports 5g nationwide though. Could not access 5g UW (both C-Band and mmWave)

Not sure what is "Locked" on this "Unlocked" phone.


Are they talking about a locked bootloader?
Not sure if this is similar but on my OnePlus 8 it came "locked" to a T-Mobile SIM and you just had to go in the settings and click unlock, then it processed for like 30sec and then successfully unlocked. That allowed me to use any carrier's SIM using the T-Mobile and ATT towers (forget the name of that).

It's not a bootloader lock / unlock, just the carrier.

It's moto. My previous experience with all moto devices is that you'll never get any software update. Good luck wishing and speculating. Guaranteed no updates

Anyone know if this Best Buy unlocked version will work on Visible ?
Visible works on the Verizon network so it should work.

me too. i have TCL 4X 5G from the recent deal here. It's my largest phone. With a slim tpu case, glass protector, no glass protector for back camera it's the most bulk i can tolerate. All my cases have wrist straps attached.

Quote from ZakT659 :
While I have really liked my [absurdly-long-named Moto discussed here], it's a fairly old model at this point and there have been better deals lately. I don't think it's worth over $200 to slickdealers at this point.
I agree. I really like mine, but I got it cheaper at the beginning of the year. The price should be lower by now.
I wouldn't call this a slick deal over 150
