New Delhi: Over two weeks after the global launch of the new Moto E, Motorola introduced the smartphone in India at a price of Rs 6,999. The second-generation Moto E will be exclusively available on Flipkart and will go on sale from Wednesday, March 11.
The company has, for now, introduced the 3G variant of the new Moto E in India. Motorola says it will soon also launch the LTE variant.
Among the improvements over the last year's model, the new Moto E has a front-facing camera for selfies. The rear camera in the new model has auto-focusing, while the older model had a fixed-focus lens that didn't compensate for how far away the subject was.
Other improvements include the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop software, a 4.5-inch display (against a 4.3-inch display in the previous model), 2390mAh battery (previously 1980mAh), 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon quad-core processor (up from a dual-core processor) and advanced graphics.
Motorola, which Lenovo Group bought from Google in October, has been trying to set itself apart from other phone makers by selling cheaper phones that have some features found in higher-end products. For instance, all of its phones use Corning's Gorilla Glass for durability.
The company had recently slashed the price of the first-gen Moto E model by Rs 1,000, bringing the price down to Rs 5,999.
The phone was announced globally on February 25 - days ahead of MWC 2015.
