Motorola's new Moto E 3G is now available in the US

Last week, Motorola announced and launched (on the same day!) its second-generation Moto E smartphone - one that's larger, and overall better than its predecessor from 2014.

For the beginning, Motorola started selling only the LTE version of the new handset, which costs $149. As of today, however, the 3G-only model is also available to buy in the US, and it'll run you just $119. Of course, both prices are for unlocked units.

Unlike the Moto E (2015) with LTE, which is powered by a Snapdragon 410 processor, the 3G-only variant has a Snapdragon 200 CPU inside. Other than that, though, the handsets are identical. Thus, for $119, you'll get Android 5.0 Lollipop on a splash-resistant smartphone that sports a 4.5-inch IPS display with 540 x 960 pixels, and offers 1 GB of RAM, plus 8 GB of expandable storage space. You'll also get a 5 MP rear camera, a VGA front-facing snapper, and a 2390 mAh battery that should last a full day. Our Motorola Moto E (2015) hands-on will let you take a closer look at the new handset.

If you want to customize the aspect of the new Moto E, while also adding extra protection, you can buy Motorola Grip Shells, or Motorola Bands for $19 each. So, who's buying (or will buy) a second-gen Moto E?
