Cheap Cyber Monday phone deal: Grab the Moto G7 Play for just $100

You do not need to spend $1000 to get a good phone in 2020, in fact, you don't even have to spend $400 to get a great phone in 2020. I've been happily rocking the $350 Pixel 4a for three months now and I'd love to direct you to buy one if you're in the market for a new phone, but I also understand that even $350 for a phone is too much of a luxury for many of us. While this year's Cyber Monday phone deals have focused mostly on flagships like the Pixel 5 and the Galaxy S20 FE, there are still some budget phone deals to be found.

In fact, we saw the Moto G Power down to $180 earlier this weekend, but that's since sold out. If you still want an affordable and reliable Motorola phone, good news! There's an even lower deal available right now for the Moto G7 Play, which is a deal that everyone can take advantage of no matter their carrier because this is a "Made for U.S." Unlocked model, meaning it'll work with the big three carriers — T-Mobile, AT&T, and Verizon — and it'll also work with most American MVNO carriers. Since this phone is unlocked, you can take it from network to network, meaning you and this phone can go wherever the carrier rates are the lowest.

Moto G7 Play

This year-old Moto may not be the newest or shiniest phone on the block, but if you just need a phone that can take pictures, make calls, and handle your Android apps while lasting all day on a single charge, the Moto G7 Play is definitely for you.

$99.99 at Amazon

The Moto G7 Play has a 5.7-inch 720p screen, 32GB of internal storage — so you'll likely want to grab a on-sale microSD card — and 2GB of RAM, which should run most apps fine, but I wouldn't really try any graphically-intense game on it.

The 3,000mAh battery here seems positively tiny next to its brother the Moto G7 Power's 5,000mAh battery, but on average use, it should still get you through the day on a single charge. The G7 Play got Android 10 a few months ago, and that means that once you boot it up and let that initial update run, everything on your phone should stay the same as long as you own it, since it's not expected to get the Android 11. For a $100 phone, this isn't really unexpected, but it's worth mentioning if system updates matter to you, as you'll need to look elsewhere (at a higher price).

The hidden cost of food delivery

More posts by this contributor What Studying Students Teaches Us About Great Apps I’ll admit it: When it comes to food, I’m lazy. There are dozens of great dining options within a few blocks of my home, yet I still end up ordering food through delivery apps four or five times per week. With the growing coronavirus pandemic closing restaurants and consumers self-isolating, it is likely we will see a spike in food delivery much like the 20% jump China reported during the peak of its crisis. With the food delivery sector rocketing toward a projected $365 billion by the end of the decade, I’m clearly not the only one turning to delivery apps even before the pandemic hit. Thanks to technology (and VC funding) we can get a ri

Slack’s new integration deal with AWS could also be about tweaking Microsoft

Slack and Amazon announced a big integration late yesterday afternoon. As part of the deal, Slack will use Amazon Chime for its call feature, while reiterating its commitment to use AWS as its preferred cloud provider to run its infrastructure. At the same time, AWS has agreed to use Slack for internal communications. Make no mistake, this is a big deal as the SaaS communications tool increases its ties with AWS, but this agreement could also be about slighting Microsoft and its rival Teams product by making a deal with a cloud rival. In the past Slack CEO Stewart Butterfield has had choice words for Microsoft saying the Redmond technology giant sees his company as an “existential threat.” Whether that’s true or not — Teams is but one piece of a huge technology company — it’s impossible not to look at the deal in this context. Aligning more deeply with AWS sends a message to Microsoft, whose Azure infrastructure services compete with AWS. Butterfield didn’t say that of course
