Moto E launch deals: Flipkart brings discounts on phone covers, SD cards and free e-books

Motorola’s Moto E is finally up for grabs on Flipkart. Just like its older siblings Moto G and Moto X, the retailer site has some launch day offers to woo audiences.   Firstly, Moto G buyers will get 50 percent discount on phone covers. Users can also take home an 8GB Transcend microSD card for half the price. Lastly, Flipkart is also offering some free preselected books worth Rs 1,000. These books will be available for download within 48 hours of you logging in to the Flipkart eBooks App. The list of books include Speed Post by Shobha De, Wise and otherwise by Sudha Murthy and Khushwant Singh’s The Collected Novels . Flipkart is also offering EMI options ranging from 3 to 12 months.   Moto E is aimed at entry-level users, and could put any budget Android to shame. However, the only sore point appears to be the missing front-facing camera. It  is a watered down version of the Moto G. It gets a slightly smaller 4.3-inch qHD display, and a pixel density of 256 ppi. The rugged device comes with waterproof capabilities, and the display is scratch-resistant. The device will come dipped in nine colours, and one can customize it with Motorola shells.   Under the hood, it is powered by a dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor clocked at 1.2GHz coupled with 1GB RAM. As expected, the Moto E runs Android KitKat 4.4 and the Motorola also guaranteed future updates. It maintains the 5-megapixel rear camera.   On the storage front, it gets 4GB internal memory that is expandable using a microSD card slot. The connectivity options include 3G, Wi-Fi and GPS. Besides, the Moto E is expected to come a 1980mAH battery that promises all day battery life.
