Motorola’s Moto E4 and E4 Plus are Official, Priced as Low as $129.99

The Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus, Motorola’s 4th generation phones in the E line, are now official after being announced this morning. Like previous Moto E phones, these are ultra-budget devices, priced for all to be able to afford without completely gutting them of quality specs and software experiences. Each phone will arrive in the coming months, and yes, both are headed to the US. 

For the most part, the Moto E4 and E4 Plus are very similar. Their designs match previous Moto phones from 2017, but their sizes and internals do differ. The Moto E4 features a 5-inch HD display, either a Snapdragon 425 or 427 processor, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage, 2800mAh battery, and an 8MP rear camera. The Moto E4 Plus features a 5.5-inch HD display, Snapdragon 427 processor, either 16GB or 32GB storage, 2GB RAM, 5000mAh battery, and a 13MP rear camera.

Both phones run Android 7.1 “Nougat” and have fingerprint readers, “elegant” metal bodies, and come in either gold or black colorways.

The Moto E4 starts out at $129.99, while the Moto E4 Plus will start at $179.99. There will be an Amazon Prime Exclusive version of the Moto E4 as well, though Motorola hasn’t offered pricing yet. We don’t know a launch date yet either, but we should see each as early as this month.
