Hi everyone.
Muwen360 is here and I am super excited to bring you guys an unboxing of the Motorola
Moto G from Republic Wireless.
Here is the box that the phone was shipped in.
It’s pretty nice with the Republic wireless logo and it says welcome, thanks for joining
us.
It also says welcome all around the box with a green background so they definitely want
you to feel welcomed which is always a good thing.
So this particular Moto G from Republic wireless is slightly different that the unlocked version.
Some of the differences are this version right here has only been around since April, whereas
the unlocked version, has been available since November, 2013 but the major difference here
is that this Moto G is running on Republic’s cell phone service.
I won’t go into too much about the service since I’m going to do an entire review on
it later but basically, it uses Sprint’s CDMA network for calls, but primarily, it
uses WiFi to conduct calls and messages and plus the rates are incredibly inexpensive
but anyways after we've open this, we get a welcome message from Republic wireless so
that’s a nice touch but under that, we have this box for the phone and that seems to be
everything we get at least in this box.
So here is the box for the actual phone, pretty nice packaging.
Love the white and green contrast.
Motorola, a Google company.
On the back, it just talks about some of the features and information about the device.
So let’s go ahead and open the box, inside we get the Moto G itself first, and some information
about Moto G accessories.
And then we get a microUSB charger which is nice because for the unlocked Moto G, you
only get a USB cable, no charger.
And then we get some paperwork including a quick start guide.
So now let’s bring over the Moto G and it seems to have a plastic stuck between the
back shell to indicate that the back can be removed.
So let’s remove back right now so we can peel off the plastic.
Here we go, the battery is non removable by the way if you’re wondering.
Ok From here we can peel it off.
There should be another piece of plastic on the screen so let’s peel that off as well.
So now finally we can press the power button and turn this thing on.
Pretty cool Motorola customized boot sequence there by the way.
So the first thing it’s doing is cellular activation.
the network is preparing your services please wait so let’s wait for that to finish.
Ok so now the activation is completed and let’s press ok to continue and it’s going
to reboot again.
So something to point out is that the Moto G you get from Republic Wireless is slightly
cheaper than the unlocked version.
The starting 8Gb model from Republic costs $149 but after shipping and taxes and also
purchasing a plan, the total comes down to about $171.
So it seems like the second boot is complete.
Starting services.
Preparing device.
Please wait.Welcome choose your language to begin and I'll just stay with English.
