TechNow: The (leaked) incredibly affordable Moto E sees name & pricing confirmation.


There's just one week to go until May 13, the date Motorola’s going to announce its next smartphone – that will be made to last & priced for all. But there are a handful of possible candidates in the running. One of the strongest contenders, though, has been the phone we’ve heard referred to as the Moto E. It’s still no assurance that the Moto E will be featured at next week’s event, but a new spotting of the hardware in India’s Zauba import database finally has us feeling a lot more confident about the phone’s name.






Remember, we’ve been talking about the idea of a new, very thin, and quite low-priced Motorola Android since mid-April called the Moto E? Now, the Zauba database has revealed Motorola importing some 1,300 Moto E handsets.

The listing confirms the Moto E’s model number as XT1022, and if those quantities weren't enough to convince you that this is a commercial handset, and not one still in the testing phase, the documents specifically describe a retail destination.

Also seen is the mention of 4GB storage (that's lesser than the Moto G), one part of the specification that had previously been attached to this hardware thanks to a leak. And the leaked price is a scant $105 (approx. Rs. 6300) certainly strengthens us hope that the Moto E really is the incredibly affordable model everyone has been waiting for since ever!
