14 DAY TRIAL // Good news for Cricket customers, as the US carrier has just announced the affordable Motorola Moto E (2015) will be available through its official retail channels beginning March 13.
Beginning later this week, customers will be able to grab the Moto E (2015) for just $130 outright via Cricket's online and brick and mortar stores.
Keep in mind that Cricket is going to offer the 4G LTE version of Moto E (2015), which makes the price even more tempting.
”We said Cricket would continue to roll out more affordable 4G LTE smartphones in 2015, and the new Moto E is one of the best in its price point. It's an entry-level 4G LTE smartphone tailored for those looking for a great mobile experience at a price that won't break the bank.
“With unlimited calling and texting plans starting at $35 per month, after $5 Auto Pay Credit, on a nationwide 4G LTE network, we are making good on promises to offer our customers a first-class wireless experience, no matter their budget,“ said Andy Smoak, head of devices for Cricket Wireless.
Cricket has also announced that for a limited time customers willing to switch from T-Mobile, Metro-PCS, Sprint and Boost, as well as those who select the $50 or $60 rate plan, are eligible for 1 free month of service after completing two months on the Smart, Pro or Advanced plan.
A Lollipop smartphone with 4G LTE support
For those out of the loop, Motorola Moto E (2015) runs Android 5.0 Lollipop operating system out of the box and packs a decent 1.2GHz quad-core processor.
The smartphone sports a scratch-resistant 4.5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports qHD (540 x 960 pixels) and features Corning Gorilla Glass 3 coating.
The Moto E (2015) has a 5-megapixel camera on the back, which features autofocus and HD (720p) video recording, but lacks LED flash. In the front, there's a secondary VGA camera for video calls.
Motorola's affordable smartphone packs 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD card slot. On top of that, the Moto E (2015) drains energy from a 2390 mAh battery, which has yet to be rated.
