New Delhi: It was early this week when the yet-to-be-announced Moto E smartphone was found listed on Zauba, an Indian website that keeps a track of goods imported to India, suggesting that the phone would be priced around Rs 8,500. And now, the phone has been revealed in leaked images. A Brazilian retailer, reportedly, has published a few images of the phone along with its specs - three days before Motorola officially announces it.
According to the listing, the Moto E will have a 4.3-inch display, 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon along with 1GB RAM, and a 1,980mAh battery. It will sport a 5 megapixel camera and will support a memory card of up to 32GB for additional storage.
Quite like the Moto G, the upcoming Moto E will support swappable back covers (Motorola Shells), which will be available in various colours. There is no word on its price, but we expect the phone to come for under Rs 8,500.
Price is one of the reasons that has led to the success of the Moto G in India. And now with the budget-friendly Moto E smartphone, the company seems to be gearing up to repeat its success story - but this time in the sub-Rs 10,000 smartphone market. This segment is currently ruled by home-grown smartphone makers like Micromax, Lava and Karbonn.
The Moto E will be the first Motorola smartphone under the stewardship of Lenovo. Google early this year sold Motorola's smartphone business to Lenovo for $2.9 billion.
The phone will be announced on May 13.
