Motorola has announced a new addition to its budget Moto E line, the Moto E4, which will come to Canada on June 22 for $200 CAD outright through Freedom Mobile, where it will run on the carrier’s Band 66 LTE network. It will also be available unlocked for $249 through a variety of yet-to-be-announced Canadian retailers.

The metal-finish Moto E4 features a fingerprint sensor, 5-inch 720p display, 2,800mAh battery and 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera with f/2.2 aperture/5-megapixel front camera package. Though a gold variant of the E4 exists, only ‘Licorice Black’ will be available in Canada.

The handset ships with Android Nougat and has a water repellent coating.
