Lenovo-owned firm Motorola has
launched its latest budget smartphone i
India, the Motorola Moto E (Gen 2) ,
priced at Rs. 6,999. The smartphone will
be available available from midnight
Wednesday via Flipkart - the firm's
exclusive online retail partner.
Unfortunately, the company will not be
launching the Motorola Moto E (Gen 2)
LTE in India alongside the 3G-only
variant, and said it will be made
available 'soon' but did not specify a
time-frame.
Unveiled at the end of February , the
handsets offer several improvements ove
their predecessor the Motorola Moto E ,
including a larger display, battery, and
twice the built-in storage. The first-
generation smartphone will not be
discontinued, and will continue to be sol
at Rs. 5,999.

Both the Moto E (Gen 2) and Moto E
(Gen 2) LTE run Android 5.0 Lollipop
out-of-the-box. The single-SIM
handsets are identical in terms of
specifications, except that the 3G varian
Moto E (Gen 2) packs a quad-core
1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 SoC
(with Adreno 302) whereas the Moto E
(Gen 2) LTE features a 64-bit quad-core
1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 SoC
(with Adreno 306). Both feature 1GB of
RAM.
The Motorola Moto E (Gen 2) and its LT
variant feature a 4.5-inch qHD (540x96
pixel) display with a pixel density of
245ppi, and Corning Gorilla Glass 3
protection along with anti-smudge
coating. Both variants pack a 5-
megapixel rear camera, and this time
Motorola has included the much-
lamented front camera onboard, in the
form of a VGA (0.3-megapixel) sensor.
The 8GB of built-in storage on both Mot
E (Gen 2) handsets can be expanded via
microSD card (up to 32GB).
