Moto G LTE (not the new model) will be launched by AT&T on October 10

AT&T today announced that it’s going to start selling the Moto G LTE on October 10. We’re not talking about the new Moto G here, but about the LTE variant of the original Moto G (first introduced last year). In case you’re wondering, the new Moto G doesn’t have an LTE version yet.

AT&T will offer the Motorola Moto G LTE for $179.99 off-contract. You can also choose to pay $7.50 monthly with AT&T Next18, or $9 monthly with AT&T Next12.

As you may know, the old Moto G sports a 4.5-inch display with 720 x 1280 pixels that’s 0.5 inches smaller than the screen of the new Moto G (this may be a plus for some users who don’t like large handsets). The Moto G LTE further features a 5 MP rear camera, quad-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 400 processor, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal memory, microSD card support, and a 2070 mAh battery. Just like the new version of the smartphone, the Moto G LTE runs near-stock Android 4.4 KitKat.

Is anyone looking forward to buying the Moto G LTE from AT&T?
