Starting today, Verizon customers can purchase the Moto G smartphone on the network of their wireless operator, at only $99 (€73), with no annual contract required.

The mobile phone can be seen on this page at the mobile phone carrier, bringing along 50 GB of Google Drive storage free for two years, as long as users claim it within 30 days following the phone’s activation on Verizon’s network.

Moto G sports a 4.5-inch HD display that can deliver a 329 ppi pixel density, along with a 1.2GHz quad-core processor paired with 1GB of RAM.

Moreover, the handset sports 8GB of internal memory, a 5-megapixel camera on the back (with support for 720p video recording), 1.3MP front camera, and a 2070mAh battery.

Moto G runs under Android 4.3 Jelly Bean, but it is upgradeable to the newer Android 4.4 KitKat operating system.
