Motorola states the new smartphone is "Made to last. Priced for all." This suggests the new phone could be the successor the popular budget Motorola Moto G smartphone.
[UPDATE: 6th May] - Rumours of a new flagship smartphone have begun to circle the web. The handset in question is the Motorola Moto X+1, successor to the Moto X. The "Made to last" comment has people wondering if the new phone will be a ruggerised verion of last year's flagship.
The Moto E is expected to come with a slightly smaller 4.3in 720p display, thus giving a higher pixel density than the Moto G. Other specs should include: a dual-core 1.2GHz processor; 1GB of RAM; 4GB of internal storage; 5MP camera and 1900mAh battery.
The Moto X+1 however is rumoured to come sporting a 5.2-inch full HD display, Snapdragaon 800 processor with 2GB of RAM, 12MP camera and 32GB of onboard storage.
The Motorola Moto G launched with a price of just £130 so if the above specs are true, it could mean the Moto E could have a similar price or perhaps even lower.
The Moto X meanwhile launched with a sim-free price of £380, a price many thought too expensive given the specs. Motorola could rethink its pricing tactics when it comes to the launch next week.
What Hi-Fi? Sound and Vision will be at the launch and we'll have a review for you very soon.
