seems the newer model is slower but with more features like more cameras, water proof design, gorilla glass (the old model does get micro scratches easily), etc.
A lot of us got screwed by buying the Moto G Power in February when the conditions were to pay for 1 month of Gold service.
Just know, you are taking a risk that they will honor the 2 month agreement.

if I had to choose to get this phone for the same final price from ST vs Total, I would choose ST just to avoid id verification. YMMV

Verizon petitioned the Trump administration to let it lock phones to its network for longer periods of time, making it harder for customers to switch to other carriers.
During Trump's first term, the FCC granted Verizon a partial waiver allowing it to lock phones for 60 days to fight fraud. Verizon claims 60 days isn't enough, and it wants to lock phones for at least six months.

Interesting. They *need* to offer "FREE" phones in order to seduce customers to use their service, then lock them in for increasing periods. Seems to me they don't want to compete in the open marketplace...lousy service, thus the lock, or ok service, but at a high price, thus the lock.
In Europe, as I understand it, there are no carrier-locked phones, and service is overall cheaper than here in US. It's a strange world.
