UPDATE: Motorola launches the Moto E in India at Rs 6,999; to be available exclusively on Flipkart
New Delhi: Following up on its budget Moto G and mid-range Moto X smartphones in India, Motorola is expected to make its smartphones even more affordable with the Moto E that is launching in India today.
Motorola hasn't yet revealed the name for the phone, except that it will be a "priced for all" device, but there are leaks aplenty on the first smartphone from Motorola after being sold to Lenovo by Google early this year.
The rumoured Motorola smartphone, Moto E, last week was found listed on Zauba, an Indian website that keeps a track of goods imported to India. According to the listing, the Moto E has been imported to India at Rs 6,300 per unit. Having considered the prices at which the Moto G and Moto X were brought to the domestic market and the actual prices at which they went on sale, it can be reasoned out that the "priced for all" - as the company has mentioned in its media invites - smartphone, Moto E, will go on sale at or under Rs 8,500 (including local taxes).
As with the Moto G and the Moto X, the latest Motorola smartphone - the Moto E - will also be a Flipkart exclusive.
A Brazilian retailer last week published a few images of the phone along with its specs. Reportedly, 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. The phone will run Android 4.4 KitKat.
The phone is expected to be announced globally in both single SIM and dual-SIM variants; it is unknown whether both the models will make their way to India, or only one of them will be announced for the Indian market. The phone is expected to be available in India immediately after the launch.
Like the Moto G, the upcoming Moto E will support swappable back covers (Motorola Shells), which will be available in various colours.
