We first saw the Moto E way back in May, when Motorola told us that its newest budget smartphone would be available in Canada sometime this summer. Well, sometime is today, because Motorola’s budget Android smartphone has finally arrived.

The Moto E sports a 4.3-inch display (resolution of 960 x 540) and runs on a dual-core 1.2 GHz Snapdragon 200 processor, as well as 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of internal storage (with support for expansion up to 32 GB via MicroSD), a 5-MP camera, a built-in FM radio and a 1980 mAh battery. The whole show is running on Android 4.4 with minimal customizations.
