Earlier this month, Motorola launched the Moto E5
Play and Moto E5 Plus in India and the two handsets are now hitting the US.
T-Mobile is now selling the two entry-level handsets, according to the devices’
respective support pages. The Moto E5 Play is available for US$ 150 outright or US$ 6
down and US$ 6 per month for 24 months. The Moto E5 Plus is a bit more at US$ 255
outright or US$ 9 down and US$ 9 per month.
The E5 Play is one tier below the E5 while the Plus
is above the E5. The E5 Play has a smaller 5.2-inch 16:9 display, 8MP camera,
and a 2,800 mAh battery. Memory-wise is a combination of 2GB+16GB and powered
by a Snpadragon 427 CPU.
The E5 Plus has some different specs: it's got a
larger and taller 6-inch display with 2:1 aspect ratio and a much larger 5,000
mAh battery compatible with Moto's TurboPower charger. Memory gets an upgrade
at 3GB+32GB and its powered by a slightly faster Snapdragon 435 CPU.
Finally, these two Moto devices are compatible with
T-Mobile’s 600 MHz band (Band 71) to take full advantage of T-Mobile’s new
extended range cell towers.
