Motorola has lifted the lid on the 2015 edition of the Moto E, Digital Spy reveals.

The second-generation smartphone's new features include a larger display, 4G connectivity and the Android 5.02 operating system.

The device sports a similar design to its predecessor, but ups the screen size to 4.5 inches and adds swappable coloured bands for customisation.

Other features of the entry-level phone include a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus, a VGA front-facing snapper, 8GB of internal storage and a faster Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset.

Motorola has also thrown in its Quick Capture function, which enables users to launch their camera app with a flick of their wrist.

The new Moto E is available to purchase in 40 countries from tomorrow (February 26), priced at just $169.
