New versions of Motorola’s extremely budget friendly E series smartphones are coming soon, the Moto E5 Plus and Moto E5 Play. Take a look at their specs and see what they’re going to look like.
Today, Motorola announced two new models of their budget-friendly line of Moto E Android smartphones. The Moto E devices have generally been known for their extremely low prices and not much else. With the Moto E5 and Moto E5 Play, we’re getting a good upgrade in terms of the specs and capabilities while keeping the price pretty low. How low? Well, we don’t really know yet, as that will be dependent on carriers so you’ll have to come back later to get all the details when these phones are closer to release (which should be maybe around June.)
We’ll start with the Moto E5 Plus. This one looks pretty high end, especially in the “Mineral Blue” color option. It’s glossy and gorgeous. Of course it’s also available in black, I mean “flash grey”. It’ll also have a nice 3GB of RAM, along with the Snapdragon 435 CPU, TurboPower charging, and a 6″ display with the popular 2:1 aspect ratio (also known as 18:9 if you multiply that by 9 for some reason.)
The Moto E5 Play is probably going to be even less expensive than the E5 Plus. You may remember previous versions of this phone selling for around $40. Besides the most-likely burner-level price possibility, another really nice thing about the E5 Play is that it has a user-removable battery. Sure, having a TurboCharge option that can get you 6 more hours of battery life after 15 minutes of charging is cool and all, but if you keep a spare battery in your wallet, you can have a whole 2nd day’s worth of battery life in maybe 5 seconds with no charger at all. Removable batteries are still much smarter.
