Motorola made a big event today in London and Delhi to
showcase what’s in store for the brand. And in line with the
previous speculations that it will unveil its entry-level smartphone, the
US-based mobile company has released the new Moto E.
Display
First of all, let’s start with the new comer. The Moto E,
Motorola’s budget phone went official with 4.3-inch qHD display that results to
256 ppi pixel density. To our delight, the screen is treated with Gorilla Glass
3. Apart from the mentioned technologies, Motorola pushes the phone to be water
splash-proof.
Hardware and Android 4.4.2
Under the hood, the Moto E ticks with a 1.2-gigahertz
dual-core Cortex A7 processor. Software-wise, the Moto E will have Android
4.4.2 KitKat. And like any other Moto phones when it was under Google’s
umbrella, the Moto E will receive timely updates for future versions of
Android. The promise of a swift processor will also be complemented with by a
gigabyte of RAM.
Being an entry-level phone, a
4-gigabyte on-board memory is justifiable. However, only 2.21GB of which
is only available for your file space. Worries aside, the up to 32-gigabyte expansion
option through microSD card will solve your memory issues instantaneously.
Connectivity and Availability
Connectivity-wise, the Moto E will be having a fairly good
set of radios. You’ll be treated with 3G, WiFi 802.11n, GPS, FM Radio and
Bluetooth. A dual SIM variant will also be shipped to Asian markets. Active
snapper will have the 5-megapixel rear camera.
The beefy 1980 mAh battery, as Motorola have said, will keep
you on the road for an ample amount of time. This 140-gram smartphone will only cost USD 117 on selected market like India, Brazil, Mexico, Spain and Canada. Hopefully, it'll hit Asia-Pacific region and the Philippines soon.
