Motorola today announced the second generation Moto E, the successor to its entry level model introduced last year. Unsurprisingly, it improves on its predecessor in a number of ways while keeping the price as affordable as before.
We’re introducing the next generation, packed with more features and functionality to give people around the world even greater access to life’s possibilities – without a hefty price tag. Because we believe access to the mobile internet should be a choice, not a privilege.
