It's hard not to love the Moto G, it being an incredible handset for the asking price and the benchmark against which other affordable smartphones should be judged. A lot's happened since that phone's release, though, namely Lenovo's acquisition of Motorola from Google. Motorola may be under new leadership now, but recognizes it's on to a good thing with low-cost, high-value Android hardware, today announcing another smartphone of that nature, the Moto E. As a retailer leak suggested, the Moto E has slightly weaker specs than that of the G, with a 4.3-inch, 960 x 540 display with Gorilla Glass 3 plus an anti-smudge coating, 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor, 1GB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage (with a microSD slot for more), 1,980mAh battery, a 5-megapixel main camera and the dual-SIM capability that's particularly popular in developing countries.
With durability one of the phone's key features, its body features a water-resistant coating. Like the G before it, you'll be able to customize the handset with a number of different rear shells of varying colors and textures. It'll launch with Android 4.4 KitKat and Motorola has committed to at least one major update cycle. Most importantly, the Moto E is launching this week (in the UK, anyway) for an unlocked price of £89.
