Is this really what the world has come to?

Yeah the moto g 4 is so bad that they're begging you to buy it now. Nobody wants that piece of shit.

Smart people always took advantage of retards, the difference being now they have the means to take advantage of all the retards at the same time.

Having options, how is this a bad thing?

>With lockscreen offers and ads

So they bought another brand to ruin. At least it's not Superfish?

I think OP is talking about lockscreen adds

Root it and remove Amazon service that puts ads on it? Amazon wouldn't sell them with a locked bootloader right?

>buy
>root
>????

do you actually need to root it to get rid of amazon services? wouldn't running a different launcher override the ads?

I have a Kindle with their lockscreen ads on it. It really isn't that bad and can be easily ignored until a lockscreen ad remover is released.

I think that's a pretty okay deal for a smartphone with mostly stock Android.

How the fuck is it even a deal if you have to be a Amazon prime member???

But the 199 version is without them right?

I mean is marketing, I don't see the big deal

Wait

Isnt Motorola owned by Lenovo?
Why is amazon putting their grubby hands on it?

It's a deal for existing members obviously. You don't become one for something like this.

Just do a free prime membership for 30 days if you really wanted it.

i never cared about the ads on the kindle. having on your phone sounds so much more intrusive, though, and i imagine that it drains the shit out of your battery.

> what are business 2 business deals?

If you don't want lockscreen ads then pay the extra $50, this isn't rocket science.

> what are business 2 business deals?

A deal breaker
I dont want Amazon OR Lenovo anywhere near my mobile device.

Putting them both into one abomination of a phone?
How awful.

in Krautland u have to pay 278 US-Dollar for this shit phone.

while muhamed and samir rapes your wife and daughter

what a great land

Germany is a joke

Indeed it is.

>blind nationalism is good

Nice try, Satan.

yes we german hate germans

It's actually $125.

I agree that Germans take it to an extreme, but everyone posts that Webm as if its inherently bad.

Meh, you could unlock it, root it and so on.

It IS bad. Context user, context.

I have a 2nd gen moto g. What's so bad about the 4th gen?

Obviously you wouldn't cheap out by $50 in exchange for "offers & ads" though.

It's 2 louder.

disowning your flag is not the opposite of blind nationalism.

You can be proud of your country, your people and your flag without being a raving alt-right neo-fascist or whatever.

I had pretty long battery life on my piece of shit $35 Kindle fire. But having a lower 1024 x 600 resolution or less powerful CPU might have something to do with it.

Aren't the 600 series snapdragons suppose to be more energy efficient though?

>Wait for Root/Custom ROMs
>Buy at discount
>Install custom ROM
>$50 off for literally nothing.

>having on your phone sounds so much more intrusive
pretty much this, all a kindle will give you in the ways of ads, are books, some you might even like.

>yfw they know the second you root it, and charges you $50 you got off for agreeing to see ads on the lockscreen

Is this the one with that ugly and awfully misplaced fingerprint reader?

>Buy that shit
>Install a custom ROM

Well, that was hard.

Avoid Motorola at all cost. They are a shit company riding on borrowed time from the successful brand name.

>They are a shit company riding on borrowed time from the successful brand name.
compared to where they were at pre Google, i would say they have quite the lineup

This
Are they retarded or is it everybody buying the phone and not doing this?

Not sure about the regular Kindle, but for the fire it was just shitty games or apps. About 90 percent were shitty candy crush or clash of clans knock offs. Took all of 15 mins to root, remove the ads and install a launcher that isn't retarded like the Fire OS launcher.

I was skeptical about the tablet meme for the longest time, but it was a solid purchase imo.

You've never used a 2014+ moto.

They are literal cancer.

You guys don't even know if it's rootable since it's not out yet. SELinux is a BITCH to get around. I still can't root my XT1528 Moto E. I mean, I fucking love this phone anid I got it for $12 at walmart but fuck me I want root back.

>disowning your flag
>this is what murricans think disowning a flag is

I fell for the Redmeme Note 3 Pro, how memed am I?

>proud of your people

people are all the same slimy dishonest slumbags no matter where you go.
The only difference is economic classes.

I have a kindle fire with the ads on it that I got for christmas last year
the easy solution is to just delete the ad files on the drive and then keep it in airplane mode, which is fine by me because all of my ebooks are illegally downloaded from my pc anyways

*paperwhite, not fire

So what stops me from rooting, removing whatever apps/services/files/etc are responsible for the ads, then enjoying a coffee that I paid for with part of the $50 I saved? Please explain. I feel like this is Motorola giving a thank you to its loyal and tech savvy customers. It's just disguised as shit so they can squeeze more cash from the wallets of normies.

>he thinks its that easy

Moto's got a surprise for you, bucko

have a rooted 2nd gen. has been about 1 1/2 years so far. very happy with it. plan on keeping it for a while.

rooted really is a must though. only way to make sure it isn't running garbage. will make sure my next phone can be easily rooted.

Damn this sucks. Why would anybody save 50 bucks and see ugly ads for 2 years. Makes no sense to me.

Would you care to explain what that "surprise" is? I asked twice in my original comment.
>he thinks this phone would be harder to root than the current samshit

>le custom rom meme
Good luck installing a custom rom on a locked bootloader

everybody look at this faggot and laugh

Kek. Probably an Iphone user

WHO WOULD BUY THIS?! THIS IS AWFUL

You are a fucking idiot.

It really is, summer.

I don't get this. It's just a fucking phone, unless you are a dumb turbo normie cuck you shouldn't be bothered about how much resolution the front camera has

The way you unlock bootloader on Motorola phones consists of requesting an unlock code for your specific device on their website, and of course they are not going to give you any unlock code if they see the model is this one. So only way to root left is for someone to find an exploit which is not even guaranteed to ever be found in a reasonable amount of time and could be patched anyway with any system update

It's $150 actually and Amazon takes off another $25 off the price if you get the version with apps.

So $125 for a Moto G with ads.

Depends what ads they are

Some dumbass ad showing on my lockscreen as a clickable image/gif/whatever - Okay

If it pops up AFTER unlock then fuck that shit, especially if it's a video of any kind of anything you have to wait to skip. Not worth it at all
