Republic Wireless, a Sprint MVNO that is known for cheap WiFi calling plans, has announced that it will offer the Motorola Moto E starting next month for $99. Generally priced at $130, this entry-level smartphone is a steal, and is Republic Wireless’ first $99 smartphone offering.
The Moto E has some pretty good specs and features like gorilla glass to survive life’s little tumbles, a built-in FM radio to always have tunes at hand, a microSD card slot so you can expand the memory of the phone up to 32 GB and plenty of Motorola’s signature features like the Moto Assist, which learns your routine and can silence calls when you’re sleeping or in a meeting, only letting VIP callers through. Much like the Moto X, the Moto E has interchangeable backs so you can customize it to suit your mood.
For tech gurus, here are the technical specs for the phone:
- Android 4.4 KitKat
- 1.2 GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor
- 1 GB RAM
- 4 GB storage
