Motorola unveils the Moto E, an entry-level Android smartphone for the masses
- janesvilleseo 12y agoSo "guaranteed upgrade" is now something to market as a benefit/feature?
- al2o3cr 12y agoApparently - there's certainly been a few instances where a phone was already a release or two back at launch and never got upgraded. The copy is borderline deceptive tho; the footnote clarifies "guaranteed upgrade" with "The device will receive at least one software update to bring it up to date with the current KitKat 4.4.3 operating system". So the "upgrade" isn't to the next, not-yet-released Android version but only to the next point release...
- lalmachado 12y agois clearly something to say when they realizes that in the world of android phones it is not always guaranteed by the manufacturers
- ScottWhigham 12y agoI found it difficult to find the specs + price. It's here: http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/shop-all-other/Moto-E/moto-e.html http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/shop-all-other/Moto-E/m... $129.99 US w/ no contract Processor: Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ 200 with 1.2GHz dual-core A7 CPU Adreno 302 400MHz single-core GPU Display: 4.3 inches 540 x 960 qHD, 256ppi Capacity: 4GB user storage, MicroSD slot supports up to 32GB expandable memory 1GB RAM ============ That's great for kids and folks who don't need lots of snappiness/power. Love it! For comparison, the Google Nexus 5 has the Snapdragon 800 rated at 2.26ghz and is $350 for 16GB version http://www.google.com/nexus/5/ http://www.google.com/nexus/5/
