We are expecting to see a number of new devices from Motorola at Mobile World Congress later this month, one of them will be the new Moto E5 smartphone.
Evan Blass has posted some pictures of the new Moto E5 smartphone on Twitter and it looks like the handset is coming to both Verizon Wireless and Cricket Wireless in the US.
We first saw a render of the new E5 smartphone from Motorola back in January, unfortunately as back then there are still no specifications on the handset. What we do know is that the handset will come with a fingerprint scanner on the back under the camera, the fingerprint scanner was on the front on the Moto E4.
Design and Build
The Moto E5 is expected to feature a sleek and modern design, continuing Motorola’s tradition of offering aesthetically pleasing devices at an affordable price point. The move of the fingerprint scanner to the back of the device is a notable change, likely aimed at providing a more ergonomic experience for users. This design choice also allows for a cleaner front display, potentially offering a larger screen-to-body ratio compared to its predecessor, the Moto E4.
The handset is rumored to come in multiple color options, catering to a wide range of consumer preferences. The build quality is expected to be robust, with a durable plastic or metal frame that can withstand daily wear and tear. Given Motorola’s history, we can also anticipate some level of water resistance, although this has not been confirmed yet.
Expected Features and Specifications
While specific details about the Moto E5’s hardware are still under wraps, we can make some educated guesses based on industry trends and Motorola’s previous releases. The device is likely to feature a mid-range processor, possibly from Qualcomm’s Snapdragon series, to balance performance and cost. This would make the Moto E5 suitable for everyday tasks such as browsing, social media, and light gaming.
The display is expected to be around 5.5 to 6 inches, with a resolution of at least HD+ (720 x 1440 pixels). This would provide a decent viewing experience for multimedia consumption. Additionally, the Moto E5 is likely to come with a dual-camera setup on the back, offering features such as portrait mode and possibly even some AI enhancements for better photo quality.
In terms of storage, we can expect the Moto E5 to offer at least 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage, with the option to expand via a microSD card. This would be in line with other budget smartphones in the market. The battery life is another critical aspect, and Motorola is known for equipping its devices with long-lasting batteries. The Moto E5 could feature a battery capacity of around 3000 to 4000 mAh, ensuring it lasts through a full day of use.
Software and User Experience
The Moto E5 is expected to run on a near-stock version of Android, likely Android 8.0 Oreo or even Android 9.0 Pie, depending on the release timeline. Motorola’s approach to software is generally minimalistic, with few customizations, ensuring a smooth and responsive user experience. This also means quicker updates compared to heavily skinned versions of Android.
Motorola may also include some of its proprietary features, such as Moto Actions and Moto Display, which add useful functionalities without bogging down the system. These features enhance the overall user experience by providing intuitive gestures and notifications.
As soon as we get some more details on this new Motorola smartphone, including a full list of specifications, pricing, and a launch date for the handset, we will let you guys know.
