Amazon and Best Buy Knock Up to 50% Off Already Affordable Motorola Phones
Motorola makes some of our favorite budget-friendly phones in 2023, and right now you can snag one for as much as $500 off the usual price.

While Apple, Google and Samsung may make some of the most popular phones on the market right now, they’re not the only brands with something to offer. Earning a spot on our list of the best phones under $500, Motorola has some excellent budget-friendly alternatives, and right now, you can get your hands on one of these affordable devices for even less. Amazon, Best Buy and Motorola are offering discounts on a variety of current and previous-gen models, with some discounted by as much as 50%. There’s no set expiration for these deals, so we’d recommend getting your order in sooner rather than later if you don’t want to miss out on these savings.
There are quite a few different discounted Motorola phones to choose from right now. One of the most affordable options is the new 2023 Moto G Stylus, which you can pick up for just $180, $20 off the list price. It has 64GB of storage, a 50MP camera and a built-in stylus, but no 5G support. If you want 5G support on a budget, then you can upgrade to the 2022 Moto G Power, which features 6GB of RAM, 256GB of storage and a 6.5-inch HD display. It’s on sale for $200 at Amazon, which is half off the usual price.

Resident Evil Requiem Revealed, but Where’s Leon Kennedy?
The Resident Evil 9 trailer showed off a new character, but not the much-rumored return of Leon.

After a fake-out earlier in Summer Game Fest on Friday, Resident Evil Requiem, or Resident Evil 9, was shown for the first time.
The new title is the first mainline entry since Capcom released Resident Evil Village in 2021, and is rumored to feature series stalwart Leon Kennedy. In the trailer, the only person we saw was a character named Grace Ashcroft, who works for the FBI and appears to have ties to Raccoon City.
For the most hardcore Resident Evil fans, the name Ashcroft will ring a bell. Alyssa Ashcroft was one of the survivors of the online-only title, Resident Evil Outbreak for the PS2. Alyssa was a journalist who was trapped in Raccoon City during the events of Resident Evil 2, and she, along with other survivors, had to escape the city before it was destroyed.
Grace is Alyssa’s daughter, and in the trailer, she is going to visit the Remwood Hotel, where Alyssa was murdered. Later in the trailer, images from what appears to be the remnants of a destroyed Raccoon City are shown — including the police department from RE2 — so it appears Resident Evil 9 will return to where the series started.
Leon’s (rumored) return is a big deal for the series, which has made some of its best games with him in the starring role. He first showed up as a rookie cop in Resident Evil 2, which built on the original game’s success with more story and improved monsters and level design.
He showed up again in Resident Evil 4, which took the series in a new direction by introducing an over-the-shoulder perspective, instead of the usual static camera angles and tank controls. Leon was also one of several playable protagonists in Resident Evil 6, a game that seemed to forget about its survival horror roots. We mostly don’t talk about that one.
But the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2 was an excellent return to form, bringing RE4’s gameplay and much better graphics to a fan-favorite entry. The RE4 remake was a similar success.
Resident Evil Requiem is set to drop Feb. 27, 2026, for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series consoles, but we’re hoping to get our hands on it this weekend. If you want to catch up on older Resident Evil games, Capcom is having a sale that includes basically all the games, including Village and the three remakes.
