Moto E coming to India on Tuesday: 6 things you should know about the 'priced for all' Motorola phone

New Delhi: Having launched its budget Moto G and mid-range Moto X smartphones in India, Motorola seems to be all set to surpise smartphone lovers with its new phone. While there is no official word on the yet-to-be-announced Motorola phone, except that it will be a "priced for all" device, the Internet is abuzz with information about what will be the first smartphone from Motorola after being sold to Lenovo by Google early this year. Here are six things that we think you should know about the upcoming low-cost Motorola phone:
1. Motorola will be unveiling its new smartphone on May 13. While the comapny has not revealed its name, rumours are that the phone will be called the Moto E.
2. The rumoured Motorola smartphone, Moto E, last week was found listed on Zauba, an Indian website that keeps a track of goods imported to India. Accoridng to the listing, the Moto E has been imported to India at Rs 6,300 per unit. Having considered the prices at which the Moto G and Moto X were brought to the domestic market and the actual prices at which they went on sale, it can be reasoned out that the "priced for all" - as the company has mentioned in its media invites - smartphone, Moto E, will go on sale at or under Rs 8,500 (including local taxes).
3. With Bangalore mentioned as the import city in the data available on Zauba, it is speculated that the Moto E will also be a Flipkart exclusive. Motorola has earlier made its two smartphones - Moto G and Moto X - available in India exclusively via Bangalore-based online retailer Flipkart.
4. A Brazilian retailer last week published a few images of the phone along with its specs. Reportedly, the Moto E will have a 4.3-inch display, 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon along with 1GB RAM, and a 1,980mAh battery. It will sport a 5 megapixel camera and will support a memory card of up to 32GB for additional storage. The phone will run Android 4.4 KitKat.
5. The phone is expected to be announced globally in both single SIM and dual-SIM variants; it is unknown whether both the models will make their way to India, or only one of them will be announced for the Indian market. The phone is expected to be available in India immediately after the launch.
6. Like the Moto G, the upcoming Moto E will support swappable back covers (Motorola Shells), which will be available in various colours.
