WASHINGTON: It looks like Motorola eyeing to launch another budget smartphone, as device’s image leaked online.
The leaked image indicates similar design like company’s 2013 flagship smartphone Motorola Morto X. We’re getting an early look at what’s said to be the Moto E courtesy of Brazilian retailer Fast Shop. The retailer jumped the gun on Friday and posted its listing for the Moto E, which is expected to be announced on Tuesday in London.
The phone marks Motorola’s first new device since Google announced in January that it was selling the smartphone unit to Lenovo, but it shouldn’t come as a surprise that it looks so similar to the Moto X and Moto G.
According to the specifications revealed by Fast Shop, the phone will have a 4.3-inch screen, 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, 1GB of RAM, and 4GB of storage (expandable).A 5-megapixel camera, dual SIM slots, a 1,980mAh battery, and removable back plates for customization the shop also added.
The GSM device doesn’t have LTE. Those specs are all either a step down from or on par with the $179 Moto G, so we’d certainly expect a very low price on the Moto E.
Something around the $100 mark would put it up against phones running Firefox OS and Nokia’s affordable Asha line around the world. The dual SIM slots also suggest that Motorola’s focusing on developing markets with this device considering the launch event is in London, it’s possible it may never come to the US. Either way, we’ll find out for sure come Tuesday, when Motorola officially reveals the phone.
