Motorola's cheapest smartphone is about to receive an upgrade
Last year's Motorola Moto E5 Play
Codenamed ‘Surfna’ and set to be marketed as the Motorola Moto E6, the upcoming smartphone will apparently debut with a small 5.45-inch display that boasts a 1440 x 720p resolution and an 18:9 aspect ratio. This means that, unlike the Moto G7 series and the upcoming Moto Z4, the smartphone should feature pretty thick upper and lower bezels.
Internally, consumers can expect to find Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 430. This chip was previously found inside last year’s Moto G6 Play and will represent a small upgrade over the Snapdragon 425 present in the Moto E5 line of smartphones. Accompanying the chip should be 2GB of RAM and either 16GB or 32GB of expandable internal storage depending on the buyer’s preference.
Completing the smartphone’s setup looks set to be a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel selfie snapper, both of which are made by Samsung. On one final note, Android 9 Pie is to be expected straight out of the box. Like Motorola’s other smartphones, some small customizations to the software experience should be present.
Regarding pricing and availability, the Motorola Moto E6 is set to launch on multiple carriers and should cost in the region of $150 in the US. It’s unclear at the moment when an announcement will take place, but Motorola currently has a number of other smartphones up its sleeves too. So perhaps the company will announce an event sometime in the near future to introduce them all.
