Earlier today, you may have seen our post about the Motorola Moto E being announced in India, a budget device aimed at emerging markets to try and replace feature phones. According to Motorola, feature phones (i.e. dumb phones) still make up around 70% of the total mobile phone population of the world, and the jump shouldn’t be so large to get access to an entry level Android smartphone. Enter the Moto E. In fact, today served as the official announcement for both the Motorola Moto E and Moto G LTE, the latter of which was an expected update for one of the best budget Android smartphones out there right now. The only difference with the Moto G LTE over the original Moto G is the inclusion of 4G LTE capability, which is going to be offered for $219 USD with no contract; the normal Moto G is also going to continue selling at its normal price, starting from $179.
Motorola looks like it’s kicking some important goals in the playing fields where the other Android manufacturers are struggling; the Moto G was a great precedent and the Moto E is surely going to continue Motorola’s good work in the budget smartphone market. What do you think about the Motorola Moto E and Moto G LTE?
