Revealed! Motorola Moto E (second gen) to cost Rs 6,999 in India


Motorola has finally revealed the price for its newly launched Moto E (second generation) in India. The Moto E 2015 model will be priced at Rs 6,999, same as the original Moto E launched last year. However, there is no word on pricing for the LTE variant of the device for India, yet.

The unlocked 3G version costs $119.99 that translates to approx. Rs 7430. This means the 4G LTE version that costs $149.99 (approx. Rs 9288), could be priced around Rs 8,000 in India.

The 3G version of the Moto E is powered by 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 32-bit processor and a 400MHz Adreno 302 GPU. The LTE version has a 1.2GHz quad-core 64-bit Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor and a 400MHz Adreno 306 GPU. It comes with 8GB storage space and 1GB of RAM.

One of the biggest drawbacks of the original Moto E was the lack of a front-facing camera. With the new Moto E, Motorola has fixed the issue. You still get a mediocre VGA camera, but we suppose that this is still better than having none. The company has also retained the 5MP rear snapper, but it has been improved from a ‘fixed focus’ to ‘auto-focus’.

Some other specs include Android Lollipop, support for microSD card, 3G and Wi-Fi. Click here, to know what’s new in the Moto E second generation.
