Motorola Moto E officially announced and now available for $130

Motorola is continuing to fill in the entry-level smartphone sector with some pretty impressive devices. The latest is the Moto E, which was announced in Europe earlier this morning. This smartphone is “priced for all,” says Motorola, and its 89 euro price tag certainly seems to stay true to that promise.

So what does that attractive price bring you under the hood? Take a look at the Moto E’s specs:

• 4.3-inch 960 x 560 qHD display


• 1.2Ghz Qualcomm dual-core Snapdragon 200 w/ Adreno 302 graphics


• 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage w/ microSD card slot up to 32GB


• 5 megapixel rear camera


• Bluetooth 4.0 LE


• 1,980mAh battery


• Android 4.4 KitKat w/ one guaranteed upgrade

You’ll be able to grab this thing in quite a few markets, with Motorola committing to launches in over 40 markets through 80 different carrier partners. The launch will be rather staggered over the course of the next few weeks, though those in America can order a GSM model (3G only) as early as this morning for just $130 from Motorola’s website.

It’s being billed as a pre-sale for now so we’re not exactly sure when it’ll ship, but do note that you’ll be charged for the order immediately. Will you be springing for one of these or has the Moto G been fine enough for you? Let us know with a comment below!
