Motorola has just launched the second generation of its most affordable smartphone, the Moto E. The new device comes with some subtle changes under the hood, and a few cosmetic tweaks which make up for a much needed refresh. Head over the jump for further details on the phone.

Motorola is today holding a number of special launch events across the world, and as well as taking the wraps off the Moto E – which has been leaked quite a bit during the past week or so – the company has also unveiled a 4G-ified edition of the Moto G packing a microSD slot. All of the details you need to know can be found right after the leap!

Only yesterday, we caught a glimpse of Motorola’s upcoming budget Moto E smartphone, which is expected to be showcased at a special event on 13th May. Now, we can take an even closer gander at the handset thank to a leaked press image, and having been impressed by what we saw a short while ago, our opinion on this forthcoming release hasn’t changed a jot.

Motorola’s media event, which is expected to give the world the first glimpse of the company’s Moto E smartphone, might still be a few days away, but it seems we can get a look at the new budget phone even earlier, thanks to a user who posted an alleged picture of the to-be-announced device on Motorola Mexico’s Facebook page. In a nutshell, we like what we see!
