As Moto G creates waves in the smartphone market with its specifications and price tag, Motorola is eyeing a deja vu. Spanish website Xataca has reported that the company will soon launch a low-end smartphone, named Moto E.
The upcoming Moto E will have a 4.3-inch screen, and though the report says that the resolution cannot be confirmed, it expects a 720p display. Other key specifications of the device include 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, 5MP camera and 1,900mAh battery. The smartphone will have 4GB internal storage and support microSD cards, which is missing in both Moto G and Moto X.
Moto E will come with Android 4.4 (KitKat) and offer dual-sim functionality. The smartphone will come in black and white colour options and have back covers in different hues.
Among the USPs of Moto E would be its ultra-thin body. The report says that the smartphone would be just 6.2mm thick, making it slimmer than the likes of iPhone 5S and Galaxy S4.
Mexican telecom operator Telcel will start retailing the smartphone in coming weeks. There is no world on the global rollout of this handset. On the pricing, the report says that Moto E will be placed between the 8GB and 16GB versions of Moto G. This means, it is likely to be priced between Rs 12,499 and Rs 13,999 in the Indian market.
Apart from this, Motorola is also said to be working on two more variants of Moto G, named Moto G LTE and Moto G Ferrari. The former is expected to support 4G networks, going by the name. However, nothing is known about the Moto G Ferrari model yet.
In early April, Motorola launched the rugged version of its smartphone, named Moto G Forte, in Mexico.
