The Moto X4 brings Android One to the US and a non-Google phone to Project Fi
Motorola's Moto X4 is coming to Google's Project Fi network, and it's bringing Android One along with it.
On Wednesday, Google announced that Motorola's latest smartphone will work with its cellular MVNO service, which piggybacks off the networks run by T-Mobile, Sprint, and US Cellular in the US. As a result, the Moto X4 will be the first smartphone that isn't part of Google's own Nexus or Pixel family devices to support Project Fi. It'll be available to pre-order today.
The company also brings a relatively affordable option to the network; ever since Google stopped selling the older and more affordable Nexus 6P and Nexus 5X through Project Fi, the only Project Fi devices available have been the year-old Pixel and Pixel XL, which cost a minimum of $650. Sequels to those phones are coming soon and are all but guaranteed to support Project Fi, but they are expected to be even pricier. At $399 outright, the Moto X4 isn't exactly cheap, but it should still be more manageable for a wider audience.
