Motorola is widely expected to launch th
successor to the popular Moto E
smartphone - expected to be called the
Moto E (Gen 2) - at MWC next month.
The yet-to-be-announced Motorola
handset however may have been leaked
by an online retail partner already.
Best Buy, the popular retailer, has listed
the Motorola Moto E 4G's Sprint variant
as 'coming soon' along with the price
and specifications, potentially spilling th
beans ahead of the official unveiling. Of
course since this is a third-party retailer,
one cannot be certain if these will be the
official launch price and specifications
whenever Motorola launches the
smartphone.
Notably, the Moto E 4G listed by the
retailer is being considered as the
second-generation of the popular Moto
E, with upgraded specifications. The
Moto E 4G is priced at $99.99
(approximately Rs. 6,200) for the
unlocked version.
The listing, first spotted by STJsgadgets
also includes an image of the
unannounced Moto E 4G, which
coincidentally is identical to the image
that was leaked in January for the Moto
E (Gen 2). The listing confirms that Moto
E (Gen 2) aka Moto E 4G will be
Motorola's first non-Nexus smartphone
to run Android 5.0 Lollipop out-of-the-
box.
According to Best Buy listing, the Moto E
4G will feature a 4.5-inch qHD (540x96
pixels) display; 1.2GHz Qualcomm
processor (possibly quad-core); 1GB of
RAM; 8GB inbuilt storage; microSD card
support; 5-megapixel rear camera; 3G,
and 4G connectivity support. The listing
doesn't list the front camera and battery
capacity of the Moto E 4G.
We remind readers however that nothing
is official yet, and that all such leaks
must be taken with a pinch of salt.
