Amongst all the speculation surrounding the allegedly upcoming Motorola flagship (currently coined “X+1” by the media), another new Moto phone is purportedly in the works. Â Though this model is on the other end of the model spectrum, and is expected to reside just under the existing Moto G in terms of specs and affordability.
Currently dubbed “Moto-E” by the Italian site androidworld.it, this new model further emphasizes the “more phone for everyone” mantra brought on by the Moto G and arguably the Nexus 4 before that. Â The spec comparison reads as such:
Moto-E (Moto-G)
- Display: 4.3″ (4.5″)
- Processor: 12.GHz dual-core (1.2 GHz quad-core)
- RAM: 1GB (1GB)
- Internal storage: 4GB (8GB)
- Rear camera: 5MP (5MP)
- Front camera: None (1.3MP)
- Battery: 1900mAh (2070mAh)
The height and width appear almost identical; the one noticeable dimension is the depth of the device. Â At 6.2mm, it appears to be almost half of the Moto G, which checks in at 11.6. Â This sveltness will definitely be appealing to a lot of potential buyers.
The distribution plans for this phone is not mentioned, but it can be deduced that Motorola would have a very similar game plan; meaning pretty much worldwide.
A smartphone without a front camera is a fail to me. I wouldn’t touch it.
