Motorola (Now an asset of Lenovo) has recently unveiled the launch of the third generation mobile phone of its Moto E series soon in the United Kingdom. Moto-fans sighed a heave of relief as the rumours were officially confirmed by Lenovo.
Moto E and E2 did well but the 3rd-gen Moto E is definitely supposed to strike a nerve in the Android marketplace. The phone is set to be released in September this year at a price of mere 99 pounds (an equivalent of around Rs.8,800). This release price is indeed higher than the rest of the Moto E phones.
The phone is set to have a 5-inch 1280×720 HD screen against the earlier 4.5-inch display. With a quadcore processor chipped inside, Moto E3 will have a decent 2,800 mAh battery. The rear camera will be an 8 megapixels one. A dedicated slot for a microSD card has also been provided. The dual sim phone will also support 4G LTE. Just 1GB RAM, however, may prove to be a small setback but as the device runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow Stock ROM, lag shouldn’t be expected much.
Till now, the Motorola Moto E series have very well offered phones with optimum performance at a compelling price. A same or better offering is expected to come out this year as well.
