Motorola Moto E release date: Specs of a very budge friendly Android handset that Motorola is developing, dubbed the Moto E, has been leaked. The affordable smartphone, to be priced at around $100 is expected to arrive in the “coming weeks.”

In a report by Phandroid, the company that will soon be owned by Lenovo is rumored to launch a 4.3-inch handset that runs on Android 4.4 KitKat and has dual-sim capabilities.

The specs were uncovered by Brazilian tech site TechnoBlog and it noted that the unit will come in three different variants - XT1021 with single SIM, XT1022 dual SIM, and XT1025 dual SIM with digital TV.

Phandroid lists the specs of the upcoming Motorola handset:

• 4.3-inch display
• 1.2GHz dual-core processor
• 5MP camera
• 1GB RAM
• 4GB internal storage
• 1,900mAh
• Android 4.4 KitKat

Smartphone with the same specs has been confirmed by Mexico tech site Xataka to be launched in the coming weeks, but for a price of $230.

Motorola has shaken the lower-end of the market last year when it announced the launch of the Moto G, a $178 Android-powered handset that bears a sleek design and very competitive specs. The Moto G has been launched in numerous developing markets around the world.

The affordable smartphones being produced by the mobile company begs the question, “how low can Motorola go?” notes Phandroid.
