Crazy Consumer Electronics World: Motorola next 'priced for all' smartphone launches May 13

Motorola's next phone is set make it's grand entrance into the mobile world on May 13.

The soon-to-be-Lenovo-bought company has sent out invitations for an event in London hinting that it will introduce a smartphone "made to last" and "priced for all."

On April 19 we heard rumors of a lower-spec Moto G called the Moto E that could come for an even more affordable price. This low-cost handset has been rumored to come with 4.3-inch display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 1GB RAM, a 5-megapixel camera, and Android Kitkat 4.4.3.

To help keep costs down, the handset will also supposedly only come with 4GB of internal storage, a 1900mAh battery - and like the Moto G - 3G-only connectivity.

Motorola's +1

Alternatively, with Motorola suggesting that this will be a handset made to last this yet to be announced device could be a ruggedized handset. Given the recent trend of waterproof handsets with the Samsung Galaxy S5 and the Sony Xperia Z2, Motorola may be looking to broker its own hardy handset.

Recently there have been early reports of a new Moto X + 1, the follow up to Motorola's extremely customizable flagship phone.

The Moto X+1 branding first showed up at the beginning of April and five days ago a new benchmark spilled the beans on almost all its specs.

Moto X+1 could come with a 5.2-inch 1080p HD screen, a Snapdragon 800 processor, 1.7GB of memory, 24GB of internal storage, and Android 4.4.3.

It will be interesting to see which handset Motorola reveals two weeks from now given these potential two forks in the road. If anything the smartphone company may reveal two new handsets at once. But whatever happens stay tuned to this space as we bring you all the developments on May 13.
