Moto E now available in Canada

Motorola Moto E

The inexpensive Moto E from Motorola had been expected to launch in Canada last month. June came and went without sign of Motorola’s new entry-level smartphone but there is good news at last today. The Moto E is now available in Canada through Staples. As expected, it comes unlocked and contract-free for CA$179.

If there is a silver lining to having to wait a bit longer than expected, it is that the Moto E ships with the latest version of Android already preloaded.

Here is a quick reminder of the Moto E’s specifications:

  • Processor: Dual-core (1.2GHz × 2) Qualcomm Snapdragon 200
  • Operating system: Google Android 4.4.4 KitKat
  • Cellular connectivity: HSPA+ (21Mbps)
  • Other connectivity: GPS, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0 LE
  • Display: 4.3-inch qHD (540×960 / 256PPI)
  • RAM: 1GB
  • Internal storage: 4GB
  • External storage: MicroSD cards up to 32GB
  • Rear-facing camera: 5MP
  • Front-facing camera: None
  • Battery: 1,980mAh
  • Dimensions: 124.38 × 64.8 × 12.3 millimeters
  • Weight: 142 grams
  • Colours: Black, White

While the Moto E will not be confused for a flagship smartphone, it is a surprisingly decent device priced very reasonably. You can pick it up for CA$179 unlocked and contract-free from Staples.
