Motorola's new Moto E (2nd gen) coming to India at Rs 6,999; features a 4.5-inch display, front camera, Android 5.0 Lollipop

New Delhi: Motorola has revealed the price of the new Moto E for the Indian market and has kept it the same as the previous generation model.

Priced at Rs 6,999 for the 3G variant, the second-gen Moto E will soon be launched in India and will be exclusively available on Flipkart.

Among the improvements over the last year's model, the camera in the new model has auto-focusing, while the older model had a fixed-focus lens that didn't compensate for how far away the subject was. The new Moto E will also have a front-facing camera for selfies.

The second-gen Moto E runs on the latest Android 5.0 Lollipop software, features a 4.5-inch display, 2390mAh battery, 1.2GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and advanced graphics.

There's also a model with 4G cellular connectivity. The company, however, has not even teased it for the Indian market yet.

Motorola, which Lenovo Group bought from Google in October, has been trying to set itself apart from other phone makers by selling cheaper phones that have some features found in higher-end products. For instance, all of its phones use Corning's Gorilla Glass for durability.

The company recently slashed the price of the first-gen Moto E model by Rs 1000, bringing the price down to Rs 5,999.
