On its part, the Moto E (2020) sports a 6.2-inch LCD display with 720×1520 pixels resolution and a waterdrop notch design.  It is fired up by a Snapdragon 632 chipset paired with 2GB of RAM. The Moto E also comes with 32GB of internal storage which can also be expanded. Keeping the lights on is a decent 3,550mAh battery that charges over a micro-USB port.

For photography, the Moto E (2020) packs a dual-camera setup at the rear consisting of a 13MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. The back panel also plays host to a fingerprint sensor for unlocking the phone. The waterdrop notch holds a 5MP selfie shooter.

Both the Moto E (2020) and Moto G Fast are running an almost-stock variant of Android 10 with Motorola’s promise of at least one major OS update for the Moto G Fast but none of such promise for the Moto E (2020).

The Moto E (2020) is IPx2 certified for dripping rain (no dust protection) and will go on sale unlocked for $150 through a number of US retailers and subsidized through T-Mobile, Boost Mobile, US Cellular, Xfinity Mobile, Republic Wireless and Verizon prepaid.
