After teasing the Moto E5 Plus smartphone for about a week, Lenovo-owned Motorola has now confirmed that the Moto E5 Plus will be launched in India this month, i.e. July 2018. The Moto E5 series was originally unveiled in April this year, along with the sixth-generation Moto G-series smartphones.

Recently, the company had launched a couple of Moto G6-series smartphones in the Indian market, and now the Moto E5 Plus is the next smartphone from Motorola to debut in India. However, there is no sign of the Moto E5, which is speculated to launch at a later date.

The Moto E5 Plus features a 6-inch HD+ full-screen display with screen resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels and 18:9 aspect ratio. Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 processor along with 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage.

The smartphone comes with a 12-megapixel camera on the back with f/2.0 aperture, a laser focus module, and an LED flash. On the front side, there’s an 8-megapixel front-facing snapper which comes with a dedicated LED flash.

Connectivity features on the device include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/c/g, 4G VoLTE, Bluetooth 4.2, and micro USB port. It runs Android 8.0 Oreo operating system out of the box and is powered by a 5,000mAh battery that includes support for 15W TurboPower charging.

The Moto E5 Plus was launched in two color variants — Gold and Graphite. We are expecting the same options to be made available in India as well. It was launched with a price tag of EUR 169 (approx. $197), which roughly converts to Rs. 13,500. We are expecting similar or slightly lower pricing in the Indian market.

However, the company is yet to reveal the phone’s launch date in India. Motorola recently introduced the Moto Z3 Play in Brazil for a price of BRL 2,299 (approximately $593 / Rs. 40,000). The smartphone is now expected to launch in India next week.

Other than the Moto G6 series launched today, we also got the Moto E5 series. The Moto E5 series includes the Moto E5 Plus which is the leader of the pack and the Moto E5 and Moto E5 Play.

The Moto E5 Plus is the biggest of all three. It sports a 6” display with a 1440 x 720 resolution and has polymer glass on the rear. It has 3GB of RAM and 32GB of expandable storage. A Snapdragon 435 processor is the chipset of choice.

Although the Moto E5 Plus looks like it has dual rear cameras, it only has one. It is a 12MP f/2.0 (1.25um) sensor. The hole beside it is home to a laser focus module. It also has an 8MP front-facing camera with a dedicated LED flash.

Other than the large display, another selling point of the Moto E5 plus is its massive 5,000mAh battery. It runs Android 8.0 Oreo.

The Moto E5 is smaller at 5.7” but has the same HD+ resolution.  It is powered by a Snapdragon 425 SoC paired with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage.

The Moto E5 comes with a 4,000mAh battery which should be sufficient for more than a day.

The last is the Moto E5 Play. Just like the Moto E5, the rear is covered in polycarbonate. However, it is removable for access to the battery.

The display is 5.2” HD display and it comes with a Snapdragon 425/Snapdragon 427 depending on the market. RAM is 2GB and built-in storage is 16GB with support for expansion.

There is an 8MP f/2.0 sensor on the rear and a 5MP camera with flash sits above the display. It also has a fingerprint scanner buried under the Moto logo on the rear like its siblings.

Motorola is expected to release the Moto E5 series models this year as successors to the E4 series. The Moto E series is the company’s budget series and usually come with an affordable price but quality build. We expect the Moto E5 to launch alongside the E5 Plus. A couple of official-looking renders of the models have surfaced, revealing the design of both the Moto E5 and Moto E5 Plus captured from all angles.

This isn’t the first time we are seeing the press images of the Moto E5 Plus but this time around, the renders come in Graphite and Gold colours. The renders confirm the presence of an 18:9 aspect ratio on the screen and a glossy back. At the rear, there is a fingerprint scanner and a camera module. The camera modules could be confused as housing a dual camera setup but in reality, there is only a single camera. The glossy back finish looks like it could be glass or metal but considering the expected entry-level price tag, it could also turn out to be glossy plastic. According to Geekbench, the Moto E5 will feature a Snapdragon 430 chipset. The device is also expected to sport a 5.0-inch display.

On the other hand, the Moto E5 looks less flashy than the E5 Plus. Its back has a matte finish and the material looks like metal but could actually be plastic. The Mto E5 also comes with a single camera and in this case, there is no confusion about that. The device also packs a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor embedded into the Moto logo.

It remains to be seen when the Moto E5 and E5 Plus will be launched but we believe that won’t be too far away. We also don’t know what price tags they would adopt and the complete specs.

The post Leaked Moto E5 & E5 Plus Press Renders Capture Both Models From All Angles appeared first on Gizmochina.

Lenovo-owned Motorola has sent out invitations for a launch event that will be held on April 19 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. It is speculated that the company may announce the Moto G6 series through the upcoming launch event.

The launch invitation only states that the unveil event will begin at 10 AM on April 19 and it does not contain any information on the devices that will be announced on the said date. The background image of the Motorola’s launch invite resembles with the wallpaper seen in the leaked renders of the Moto G6. This indicates that Motorola may announce the Moto G6 series on April 19.

Through a recent press release that was outed at the end of March, Lenovo had confirmed that Sergio Buniac is the new Lenovo Mobile Business Group co-president and Motorola chairman and president. The same press release also confirmed that the company would be announcing its first phones for 2018 in April. At that time, it was speculated that the company may announce the Moto G6 series and Moto E5 series.

The rumor mill has already revealed the entire specs and features of the Moto G6 series and Moto E5 series. Last year, Motorola had skipped the Play variant for Moto G series, but recent reports have revealed that the Moto G6 series will include Moto G6 Play, Moto G6 and Moto G6 Plus. Also, the Moto E5 series is speculated to include Moto E5 Play, Moto E5 and Moto E5 Plus.

Aymar de Lencquesaing who served as the president of the Lenovo-owned Motorola has left the firm. It has been officially announced that Sergio Buniac will be taking over as the new Chairman and President. The company also confirmed that its first phones will be unveiled next month.

Buniac has been working with Motorola for 22 years and he was recently appointed as the Senior Vice President and General Manager of the Latin America wing. The recent years have been quite challenging for the company. In 2012, Google had acquired Motorola’s consumer phone business and two years later it was taken over by Lenovo.

Earlier in this month, Motorola had reportedly laid off a large number of employees from its Chicago. Motorola had reportedly invested $200 million in the advertising of the Moto Z2 Force. However, a report from November last year had claimed that a dismal number of 145,000 units of the Z2 Force were sold by the top four carriers in the U.S. The Motorola handsets have received lukewarm response in China. Hence, the company has reportedly resurrected the Lenovo smartphone brand by introducing the newly announced Lenovo S5 smartphone.

The press release that confirms Buniac as the new president also reveals that the company will be launching its new products in the coming month. Recent reports have revealed plenty of information about the Moto E5, E5 Plus and E5 Play that includes and the Moto G6 Series that comprises of Moto G6, G6 Plus and G6 Play.

The Moto E5 and G6 series have been recently certified in Indonesia. The Moto G6 has been spotted at China’s TENAA authority. whereas the Moto G6 Plus has been spotted at Taiwan’s NCC regulatory body. Since the company has confirmed it will be launching its “first products” in April, it is likely that the company may unveil the Moto E5 and Moto G6 series in the same month.

Moto E5 is the upcoming series of budget phones which will be released by Motorola this year and, according to the official website, it will also include a Play variant. In case you don’t know, Play variants of Motorola budget handsets are even cheaper devices than the standard version. This year it will be the first time that the E-series will get a Play version.

The name Moto E5 Play has just appeared on the official website of the company, confirming its existence. From what the website is showing, even though it will be a very affordable device, it will support Moto Actions, a feature which should add new software-based gestures on Motorola devices. Unfortunately, there is no image or specs sheet of this device on the official website. It is just mentioned on a page related to Moto Actions.

So, we still have to rely on the info published by the famous leakster Evan Blass in order to know something about this device. According to Evan, Moto E5 Play will have a classic 16:9 display, unlike its costlier brothers E5 and E5 Plus. On the other hand, it should be equipped with a front-facing LED flash which will allow shooting selfies in the dark.

Lenovo-owned Motorola is gearing up to launch three new smartphones under its entry-level E-series of devices. The phones are said to have been named Moto E5, E5 Plus, and E5 Play. Earlier, Evan Blass shared the press renders of the phone and now, the live photos of the upcoming Moto E5 Plus have leaked online, showing us the phone’s design.

In terms of design, the phone resembles its predecessor — Moto E4 Plus. There are no major design changes. The leaked image shows that the smartphone will come with the full-screen display having 18:9 aspect ratio, which is currently the trend. The display is surrounded by narrow bezels on both sides — left and right, and thin bezels on top and bottom.

The photo also shows the phone’s back panel, revealing that the camera module will be placed in the company’s usual ring-like design. It also appears that there will be another sensor along with the camera sensor, which we speculate to be a depth sensor for creating a bokeh-type effect. Below the camera module, there’s a fingerprint sensor which also carries the brand logo.

The Moto E5 Plus will be an advanced model in this Moto E5-series compared to the E5 and E5 Play. It will also become the first smartphone from Motorola to arrive with an 18:9 aspect ratio display.

Previous leaks related to the mobile have revealed that the phone will feature a 5.8-inch IPS LCD display with screen resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels. It will pack 3GB RAM and will have two options — 32GB and 64GB.

The phone is said to come with a 16-megapixel camera at the back having f/1.75 aperture. For shooting selfies, it will be coming with an 8-megapixel camera with f/2.0 aperture. The phone is also expected to feature a behemoth battery of 5,000mAh.

Currently, there is no information available regarding the phone’s launch date, pricing, and availability. Last year, the Moto E4 series was unveiled in June last year so we are expecting the Moto E5 series to debut at some point in the second quarter this year.

Usually, when smartphones get official certifications, their official launch is imminent. Today is the turn of the Motorola Moto G6 line-up and the Moto E5 series. The former, composed of Moto G6, G6 Plus, and G6 Play, has just received network certification in Thailand and Indonesia. The latter composed of Moto E5 and E5 Play has been certified in Indonesia only.

Unfortunately, the certifications do not contain any info about the specs of these five upcoming affordable devices from the Lenovo-owned company. So, when it comes to their specs sheet, we have still to rely on rumors. Motorola Moto G6, G6 Plus, and G6 Play are tipped to come with a 5.93-inch display which will have an 18:9 aspect ratio, for the first time in the Moto G series.

The Plus variant will probably come with a Full HD+ resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels and an efficient octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor, that is the successor of Snapdragon 625. The standard version should come with a less powerful Snapdragon 450 SoC, while the G6 Play should have a low-end Snapdragon 430. Moto E5 and E5 Play will be even cheaper than G6 and G6 Play, so we expect them to come with entry-level MediaTek chipsets, and 16:9 displays.

The phone will be running Android 8.0 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box and the device will be fuelled by a 4,000mAh battery. It will feature a 16MP camera on the back, as well as on the front panel. There’s also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.

One of the leaked images shows the box contents, including earphones. This suggests that the phone will retain the 3.5mm audio jack. The Moto G6 Play will be launched along with Moto G6 and Moto G6 Plus.

The company is also gearing up to launch new phones in Moto E-series. Lenovo-owned Motorola is expected to launch three models in this series — Moto E5, Moto E5 Plus, and Moto E5 Play. The Moto E5 Plus, along with Moto E5 has been certified by FCC in the previous month.

According to the latest report, the Moto E5 Plus could come in two variants — one with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor and another with a MediaTek MT675X processor. The report further suggests that the entire 2018 Moto E-range will come with dual rear camera setups.

Motorola has never launched a Play edition for its Moto E series. However, it is arriving for the first time this year.

Leaked information that surfaced in the previous month revealed that Lenovo-owned Motorola would be launching the Moto E5 series, Moto G6 series, Moto X5 and Moto Z3 series smartphones this year. A well-known leakster has claimed that Motorola will be releasing only these phones in this year. This suggests that the company may not launch successor versions of Moto C and C Plus this year.

According to the tipster, the Moto E series phones that will probably include Moto E5, Moto E5 Plus and Moto E5 Play will include basic specs and large battery.  He has also claimed that the Moto E5 Play would be replacing the Moto C series. The Moto G6 series may come with two-year old flagship specs. The Moto X5 may be branded as high-end phone.

The Moto Z series phones such as Moto Z3 Play and Moto Z3 Force may come with futuristic tech which could probably mean that these handsets will carry support MotoMods accessories along with flagship specs.

Leaked information has revealed that the Moto E5 will coming with 5-inch display and large-sized battery. The Moto G6 and G6 Plus may feature 5.93-inch FHD+ resolution supporting display whereas the Moto G6 Play may feature a regular 5.7-inch HD display.

The G6, G6 Plus and G6 Play are rumored to respectively cost around ~$265, ~$235 and ~187.

The Moto X5 is expected to sport a notch-enabled full screen design like iPhone X flanked with quad cameras.

Motorola is expected to release the Moto E5 models this year as successors to the E4 series. The Moto E series is the company’s budget series and usually come with an affordable price but quality build. We expect the Moto E5 to launch alongside the E5 Plus popular tipster Evan Blass has revealed on Twitter that there is going to be an E5 Play.

The tipster also shared a couple of real-looking photos of the E5 Play. This sounds interesting because this is the first time the E series is getting a Play model. The renders show only the front view of the device and worthy of note is the lack of a front home button as found on the Moto E4. That tends to confirm speculations that the E5 would pack a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor.  The fingerprint sensor would be unique in that it would be embedded under the Moto logo at the rear. Chinese phone maker Smartisan did something similar on the Nut Pro 2. The device also comes with rounded edges and front flash with its selfie camera.

The Moto E5 is expected to feature a 5.0-inch display on a 16:9 aspect ratio and would be equipped with a MediaTek processor, virtual button among others. Evan Bass also revealed that the E5 Play is headed for Verizon while it would be known as E5 Cruise on Cricket Wireless.

The FCC did not reveal much about them: we only know that one of the alleged Moto E5 variants has a battery with a capacity of 4,000 mAh. This info is probably true: the predecessor of this phone in its Plus version was equipped with a huge 5,000 mAh battery, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see another battery monster. No other info has been unveiled by FCC, so for the rest of the specs, we have to rely on rumors and leaks.

Rumors have suggested that even though it will be affordable, the Moto E5 will still sport a full metal unibody design and a fingerprint reader on the back side. Just to remind you, the Moto E4 has a 5-inch display with an HD resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. Under the hood, it sports a quad-core MediaTek MT6737 SoC with a max frequency of 1.3 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage which is possible to expand with a micro SD. The cameras have resolutions of 8 and 5 MP, and even though they are nothing special in terms of photo and video quality, the secondary sensor is equipped with a front-facing LED flash to shoot selfies in low light conditions. So, its predecessors were entry level devices and the same is expected of the upcoming models.

In the previous week, several renders of the upcoming Motorola phones such as Moto E5, Moto G6 series, Moto Z3 series and Moto X4 were revealed. Fresh 3D renders of the Moto E5 created by @OnLeaks in collaboration with CouponRaja have surfaced today to reveal some of the design changes that it will be arriving with.

According to leaked information shared by @OnLeaks, the Moto E5 will be arriving with a 5-inch display like the predecessor model and it will be measuring 151 x 74 x 8.9mm. Its camera bump will increase its thickness to 9.5mm.

The physical Home button is no longer available on the chin of the device. It suggests that the handset will be coming with on-screen navigation buttons. The Moto E4 series phones from 2017 came with front-mounted fingerprint scanner. However, a recently leaked image and the new renders show that it could be embedded under the “M” logo placed below the rear camera of the phone.
