Google's cellular service, Project Fi, is adding support for three new phones, including the Moto G6, which it plans to sell for a mere $199.

Two LG phones, the G7 ThinQ and V35 ThinQ, are also coming to Google's wireless carrier service.

The Moto G6 is already up for pre-order on the company's website, and will ship to customers in about a week. To entice interested buyers, Google is offering the phone at a $50 discount, making it Project Fi's most affordable handset.

For the uninitiated, Project Fi is a carrier service from Google that uses the networks from Sprint, T-Mobile, and US Cellular to offer you expanded wireless coverage. With Project Fi, you can get unlimited talk and text for $20 per month; data costs an additional $10 per GB.

PCMag readers have given it high marks for its affordability and service. However, one notable downside has been the limited selection of phones it supports. The service has largely been only compatible with Google-developed handsets such as the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL.

The Moto G6 helps change that. At $199, the product comes with a 5.7-inch screen, runs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor, has 32GB of built-in storage, and a microSD card slot for more memory.

The LG G7 ThinQ and the V35 ThinQ arrive on Project Fi next month. However, both are much more expensive, with the G7 ThinQ starting at $749.

My Experience

I've been a journalist for over 15 years. I got my start as a schools and cities reporter in Kansas City and joined PCMag in 2017, where I cover satellite internet services, cybersecurity, PC hardware, and more. I'm currently based in San Francisco, but previously spent over five years in China, covering the country's technology sector.

Since 2020, I've covered the launch and explosive growth of SpaceX's Starlink satellite internet service, writing 600+ stories on availability and feature launches, but also the regulatory battles over the expansion of satellite constellations, fights with rival providers like AST SpaceMobile and Amazon, and the effort to expand into satellite-based mobile service. I've combed through FCC filings for the latest news and driven to remote corners of California to test Starlink's cellular service.

I also cover cyber threats, from ransomware gangs to the emergence of AI-based malware. In 2024 and 2025, the FTC forced Avast to pay consumers $16.5 million for secretly harvesting and selling their personal information to third-party clients, as revealed in my joint investigation with Motherboard.

I also cover the PC graphics card market. Pandemic-era shortages led me to camp out in front of a Best Buy to get an RTX 3000. I'm now following how the AI-driven memory shortage is impacting the entire consumer electronics market. I'm always eager to learn more, so please jump in the comments with feedback and send me tips.

The Best Tech I've Had:

  • My first video game console: a Nintendo Famicom
  • I loved my Sega Saturn despite PlayStation's popularity.
  • The iPod Video I received as a gift in college
  • Xbox 360 FTW
  • The Galaxy Nexus was the first smartphone I was proud to own.
  • The PC desktop I built in 2013, which still works to this day.
