Motorola is getting ready to launch a
brand-new smartphone that may succeed the affordable Moto E6 of 2019. Called
Moto E LE, the new handset hasn't been officially announced, but we spotted its
name on Verizon's website.
At the moment, we're not quite sure what
LE stands for in the name of this upcoming device. Moreover, we don't have any
images showing the phone. Fortunately, some of the specs of the Moto E LE have
been made public by Verizon, and it certainly seems that the handset is an
upgrade over the Moto E6. The Moto E LE runs Android 10 and is powered by a
Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 processor (this is newer and better than the Snapdragon
435 that's powering the Moto E6).
There's a 3550 mAh battery inside the Moto
E LE, while its screen has a 720 x 1520 pixel resolution. We don't know the
size of the screen, but we know the new phone's overall dimensions: 159.77 x
76.25 x 8.65 mm. This means the new device is taller and a bit wider than the
Moto E6 (149.7 x 72.3 x 8.57 mm) and, most probably, its display has a diagonal
of over 6 inches.
Design-wise, it's likely that the Moto E
LE resembles the Moto E6 Plus (a phone that isn't officially sold in the US)
rather than the regular E6. And this would be a good thing, because the regular
E6 looks outdated - even for 2019. We assume that the Moto E LE will be
available not just on Verizon, but also unlocked and on other carriers,
possibly costing around US$ 150. We'll be here to let you know when Motorola
decides to announce this new Moto E-series phone.
