Motorola has launched the Moto E (Gen 2) LTE in India at Rs. 7,999. The smartphone is now up for pre-orders via exclusive online retail partner Flipkart.
The estimated release date of the Moto E (Gen 2) LTE by Flipkart is listed as April 23, whereas the estimated delivery date is April 28. To remind you, the Lenovo-owned firm had launched the 3G-only variant early last month in India, and had then said the 4G LTE variant will be made available within the next two months - a time-frame it is sticking to.
First unveiled at the end of February, both handsets offer several improvements over their predecessor the Motorola Moto E, including a larger display, battery, and twice the built-in storage.
Both the Moto E (Gen 2) and Moto E (Gen 2) LTE run Android 5.0.2 Lollipop out-of-the-box. The handsets are identical in terms of specifications, except that the 3G variant 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.
Upfront, both smartphones - the Moto E (Gen 2) and Moto E (Gen 2) LTE - feature a 4.5-inch qHD (540x960 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 Moto E (Gen 2) handsets can be expanded via microSD card (up to 32GB).
Connectivity options on the Moto E (Gen 2) LTE include 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0LE, GPS/ A-GPS, GLONASS, FM radio, and Micro-USB. The handset measures 129.9x66.8x12.3mm, and weighs 145 grams. It is backed by a 2390mAh battery.
Users can pre-order both the Black and White - coloured Moto E (Gen 2) LTE from Flipkart.
