Right after the Moto E (2015) was announced earlier this year, a lot of potential buyers in the U.S. immediately tried to get one due to its cheap pricing and decent specs.
Unfortunately, getting a subsidized plan for the device has not been possible, until now. According to a report by GSM Arena, several U.S. carriers are already offering the latest 4G LTE-enabled Motorola Moto E for as low as $99.
In the report, the entry-level handset is now available in Sprint and two of its prepaid brands – Boost Mobile and Virgin Mobile.
Beginning today, interested consumers may get the Moto E (2015) from Boost Mobile either online or in store. The only available version is the white one, while the black-colored edition is available from Sprint Prepaid in Best Buy and Radio Shack stores.
For those who missed the announcement of the device, it features improved specs from last year's version.
The Android-powered device packs a 4.5-inch display with qHD (960 x 540) resolution, 1GB of RAM and Qualcomm's Snapdragon 410 chipset.
The camera department boasts a decent 5MP primary camera and a VGA shooter in front to handle selfies and video calls.
There is also an 8GB internal memory, a microSD card slot for storage expansion and 2,390mAh battery.
Rounding up the specs list is Android 5.0 Lollipop out of the box.
The $99 offer from Sprint and its retailers is sure to capture the attention of budget Android fans. The unlocked version of the Moto E costs $149.99.
