Motorola is planning on launching a new model of its Moto series, the Moto E, with an attractive price and added value for money. The compact handset is expected to target the price-sensitive segment. Here is a look at all the information specific to Moto E collated so far.

Release Date

According to sources, the Motorola Moto E will be unveiled on May 13th 2014 in London.

Display

The Moto E comes with a 4.3 inches display with 540 x 960 pixels resolution. The handset is a light-weight device which is 6.2 mm thick but there is no official word on the weight of the device.

Hardware and Software

The upcoming device from Motorola is powered by a dual-core processor, likely to be either Qualcomm or MediaTek, which is clocked at 1.2 GHz. The handset is expected to house 1 GB of RAM. On the other hand, the Moto E will be running the latest Android KitKat v4.4.2 out-of-the-box.

Memory

The Moto E will offer only a 4 GB of internal storage but the silver lining is that the handset supports microSD card slot for expansion up to 32 GB.

Color

The Moto E has a black or a white front panel. In addition, there will be an assortment of colors to choose from for its back panel, which is same as Moto G.
