The same day that Motorola announced the Moto E and Moto G with 4G LTE, it announced that the Moto G would soon be hitting a number of Canadian retailers. That day has come and Staples is now offering the unlocked 16GB version of the Moto G for CA$249.79.
The specific Moto G model being offered is the XT1034 which comes with AWS support if you want to use it with carriers such as Videotron or WIND Mobile. With penta-band support, it will work with all of Canada’s major carriers.
