Motorola’s Moto E-series was conceived to cater the people shopping in the low-end market. And now, the company is refreshing this line-up with the new Moto E5, Moto E5 Play, and Moto E5 Plus.
Just like the newly announced Moto G6-series, the Moto E5 line also comes in three different flavors. They come with minor differences in specs, but they all come with the same DNA.
The entire Moto E5 line will come with an HD+ resolution and an 18:9 aspect ratio screen. They do have different sizes to showcase the hierarchy.
All three are equipped with Snapdragon 425 processor, large batteries, and a fingerprint scanner at the back. The Moto E5 series, just like its brothers from the Motorola family, has a water-repellent coating that can handle accidental spills and splashes.
