It was revealed some months back that the Lenovo-owned Motorola was planning to unveil nine new handsets by the end of 2017. So it came as no surprise when the company started hosting launch events at regular intervals. In June for instance, the company launched the Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus. Both of these handsets are entry level smartphones from the company which looks to offer the lowest price possible to customers without relinquishing too much of its specs.
At launch the Moto E4 was sold unlocked as well as through carriers such as Verizon and MetroPCS.
However, starting July 21, the handset will now be available through Sprint and Boost Mobile as well. The price will also differ depending on where the handset is being purchased from.
Sprint and Boost Mobile locked version of the phone
The handsets locked on Boost Mobile’s and Sprint’s network will be costlier than its counterpart available through Verizon and MetroPCS. However, the new carriers will still be selling it at a lower cost than what the unlocked variant goes for. According to the carriers, Boost Mobile will offer the Moto E4 handset at a price of $79.99 plus taxes.
In case of Sprint people can avail the device through a monthly payment of $6.05 per month for 18 months. Sprint is also offering a limited period offer where Sprint customers can lease any new smartphone and get up to 10 free leases for the Moto E4.
However, this offer will expire on September 14 and customers will need at least one new line to take advantage of this offer.
Specs of the Motorola phone
Being an entry level device the Moto E4 sports a modest 5-inch HD display (1280 x 720 pixels) with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 offering protection to the display panel. Apart from this, the handset is powered by the quad core MediaTek MT6737 chipset clocked in at 1.3 GHz.
The device also boasts 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of onboard storage. This memory can be further expanded up to 128 GB through a microSD card.
Moto E4 also boasts an 8-megapixel primary sensor with LED flash along with a 5-megapixel secondary shooter. Other features include a 2800mAh battery with fast charging support. The handset is fitted with a front mounted fingerprint sensor as well.
It is offered in three distinct shades which include Iron Grey, Blush Gold, and Oxford Blue.
The news of the device landing in more carriers will surely be perceived as good news by fans of the handset. Even with such moderate specs the device is perfectly fitted to entry level users. Interested users can head over to Sprint’s and Boost Mobile’s websites to pick up a unit.
