Deal Details
Boost Mobile [boostmobile.com] has 512GB Motorola edge+ 2023 Smartphone (Boost Mobile Locked, Black) on sale for $59.99 + $60 1-Month Unlimited Talk/Text/Data Service = $119.99. Shipping is free.

This phone is now back in stock at Boost. It's a steal at this price still has better specs than most phones out there especially with 512gb of storage. I bought one on last years deal and was able to unlock it via one of the unlockers who were kicked off of eBay. Many didn't have the unlock codes yet back then but would assume their available now. YMMV. I currently use mine with Instabridge esim for 5gb of free data a month. Just bought another for my wife.

Note, on product page select "I don't want protection" or Boost Protect will be added to cart at $12/month.

See https://www.reddit.com/r/motorola...camera_app for discussions of a GCam port for this phone.
I've been using GCam since 2019 during the rise of the Pocophone, and if you're lucky enough to be able to find a config .xml w/ preconfigured settings that's compatible w/ the version of GCam you're using, that could take the quality of your photos far.

if you order with 10 days of service left it will charge $14 then adds that amount to account balance then charge you full $40 when activating it. If autopay is turned it automatically withdraws the difference. If autopay is turned off account balance goes to negative and rolls into next month bill along with another $40 for second month. So still paying $40 for 10 days of service.
Hi. I'm thinking to place another order. I have 3 days of service left for the first month. What will happen if I activate another phone during second month? will it change for existing line for a second month of service?

Your description of the specs for the Edge 50 Pro is inaccurate since it actually contains a Snapdragon 7 Gen 3 according to GSMArena [gsmarena.com] which is vastly inferior to the edge+ 2023.
You are correct. I think he meant the Ultra version, not the Pro version. The Motorola Edge 50 Ultra did have snapdragon 8 gen 3.

Thanks for the info! Yeah, I saw this deal a while back. Unfortunately, I was busy at work so I wasn't able to order. When I got home, the phone was already sold out.Happy the deal popped up again. Even after buying a telescoping controller, this Boost Edge+ 2023 is cheaper than the Odin 2. Being able to unlock it for $3 and use it as a backup phone is a nice bonus.
This was the exact reason I jumped in on this deal. While nice, no plans to use as a phone, just an emulation device for PS2 (NetherSX2) and Gamecube (Dolphin). ATM using a Gamesir G8+ which is super nice and comfortable but not portable. I am waiting for my MCon to ship which will make this a super pocketable setup.

Can't get the esim connected with TMO after getting the unlock. Kind of irritating. I'll try a physical Sim next. Boost really tried to lock this phone up.

Anyone else having this problem?

Edit: While on the phone with Tech Sppt I was getting a Moto software update notification, so I updated. THEN I got the settings notification to download the eSim and it worked. So I'm good to go now.

***** Yea. I don't mess around with any shady sites with odd streaming links and don't download any scam emails. I usually do change my phones like every 2 years but I could definitely see myself using this Motorola Edge+ 2023 for +3 years even when it should stop receiving updates. I had the Moto Z2 Force and that was my most enjoyable Motorola phone but this Motorola Edge+ 2023 clearly beats it out due to the improvements like larger screen (5.5" vs 6.67"), speakers, camera, etc.. I actually enjoy my Motorola G Stylus 2020, 2022 and 2025. The 2025 model is worthy of daily driver for me but isn't on par with the Edge+ 2023 if one values a great display and great speakers.
The Z2F was a monster back in the day! Incredible versatile with Moto mods and fairly long battery for that era. It was a very good phone. I haven't used that many Stylus models, but the 2022 has been a decent backup. Only wish they could create an Edge/Stylus hybrid to challenge Samsung with a pressure pen.

Gcam works on this phone. It will need a config file.

Yeah. Moto makes too many variants of the same thing.

im not in Plainfield

Recent Activation: Lack Activation Date
Activation Date: Not Activated
Warranty Start Date: 2025-06-24

I was using Rescue to download the latest firmware when I noticed my device's warranty info similar to the start-end info in your post from that site.
I thought it odd that 1) the warranty was like 400+ days, and 2) the start date began like a month prior to me purchasing the phone.

Edit: This supports esim? that would be better no? Edit2 seems maybe boost mobile disables the esim or...something,
yes esim works but its hidden in settings i setup free 3GB esim from instabridge app to test it. Once scan ESim QR code or Activate through App it will appear under mobile network menu alone side the physical sim card
"hidden"? I got my device today, still on stock A14 and see Settings->"Network & Internet"->"SIM preferences"->eSIM ("Not configured")->"eSIM card setup" (notification)->"TAKE ME THERE"->"Connect to Wi-Fi" (not yet done)

FYI, if you are having trouble connecting with eSim, download and install all the motorola and android updates first.
  • Mine was delivered 2 days ago.
  • I activated on Boost and unlocked via ThriftyGame5232.
  • I called TMO to connect this phone to my post paid account.
  • They asked for my IMEI and connected through their system.
  • ]They could see a connection on their end, but I had no connection on my end.
  • I started getting update notices on the phone, so I did one update after another (seems like 6 or 7 in total, including Android 15)
  • After the 2nd or 3rd update I got the notification on my phone to download the eSim.
  • Downloaded the eSim, and the phone connected with my existing TMO phone #.

esim settings are unhidden when your phone has not been activated/setup with boost mobile yet.

once you activate, the esim setting disappears unless you factory reset

i'm planning to do this with my 2nd too. i will say, unfortunately phone+backbone will never feel as good as one solid handheld unit imo. and phones 20:9 aspect ratio isnt great for gaming.

but nice deal for 93 for the 2nd. on front page there is pixel 9 pro 128gb requires verizon activation for 599 lmao no compare.

i dont see a lot of difference between this and my daily driver one plus 12R. i could use this in it's stead with zero issue so far. the only thing i noticed is some chopiness on boot, since both phones are sd 8 gen 2, i wonder if it's to do with the only 8gb ram on this vs 16gb on my 12. or something else, but i'm assuming the latter. not a big deal. could also be moto bloatware i guess
