Motorola last year launched the
successors to the Moto G and Moto X
smartphones , but left the immensely
popular Moto E waiting for an upgrade.
Of course, rumours for a while have been
pointing towards Motorola working on
the successor to the Moto E, expected to
be called the Moto E (Gen 2).
Now, Android Police has posted a coupl
of press images of the alleged Moto E
(Gen 2), showing the front and rear
panels of the device with the display
turned on. The leaked front panel
purportedly shows the Moto E's
successor might pack a larger screen
than its predecessor; though seems will
not match to the 5-inch display on the
second-generation Moto G.
Another notable feature given out by the
leaked image is that the Moto E will run
Android 5.0 Lollipop out-of-the-box.
Further, the front leaked image
purportedly shows the handset running
single SIM tipping that the handset migh
come in two variants - single SIM and
dual-SIM - unlike the first generation
which was only available in a dual-SIM
model. The dual-front speaker grille
design first seen on the Moto E last year
seems to have been changed on the Mot
E (Gen 2) as it is seen sporting a single
speaker grille above the display.
Android Police points out few more
additions expected in the second-
generation Moto E, "It does look like the
Moto E has picked up a secondary noise
cancelling microphone on the rear cover.
It's also gaining, it would seem, a front-
facing camera."
The publication also speculates that the
Motorola Moto E (Gen 2) might be
announced at the sidelines of MWC in
Barcelona in March. So far, there has
been no announcement from the
company.
Some of the preliminary specifications of
the Moto E (Gen 2) tipped by previous
reports include a 4.5-inch qHD (540x96
pixels) display; a 5-megapixel rear
camera with LED flash, and LTE
connectivity. Earlier reports have also
tipped the new Moto E might carry a
"very low price".
We remind readers however, that nothing
is official yet, and that all such leaks
must be taken with a pinch of salt.
