At its dedicated press events in London and Delhi on the 13th, Motorola’s latest budget phone the Moto E went official. The Moto E leaked in full a few days before and there aren’t that many surprises.
Here we can see a 4.3″ scratch resistant display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 and packs a qHD resolution, this gives us a resolution of 256 ppi. Motorola says the phone has been built to last and is therefore splash resistant.
Under the hood we can find a 1.2GHz dual-core Cortex A7 processor that runs Android 4.4.2 KitKat. The company has promised timely updates to future versions of Android, which is nice to hear for a phone of this budget nature. There’s 1GB of RAM and 4GB of internal memory, of which just 2.21GB is available. Thankfully, it is expandable with up to 32GB microSD card.
