The Moto E20, E30, and E40 are a line of entry-level Android smartphones developed, designed, and marketed by Motorola Mobility (a subsidiary of Lenovo) as part of the budget-friendly Moto E series. The E20 was released on October 7, 2021 for Spain alongside Moto E40,[4] October 20, 2021 in the United Kingdom,[5] and on March 31, 2022 in Germany.[6]
The main differences between the Moto E30 and E40 are the reduced memory capacity and the lighter Go Edition software build on the E30.[7]
Design
The front panel of the devices is made of glass, while the outer body chassis is composed entirely of plastic.
The rear panel of the Moto E20 features a distinct hexagonal honeycomb pattern texture, whereas the Moto E30 and E40 feature a wavy, rippled texture design. All three devices come equipped with a water-repellent coating.
The bottom edge of each phone houses a USB-C port, the loudspeaker, and the primary microphone. The top edge retains a 3.5 mm headphone audio jack. On the left side, the Moto E20 features a hybrid slot supporting either dual Nano-SIM cards or a single Nano-SIM alongside a microSD card (up to 1 TB). The E30 and E40 feature either a single SIM + microSD setup or a dedicated triple slot (dual Nano-SIMs + microSD up to 1 TB) depending on regional models. The right side contains physical hardware keys, including a dedicated Google Assistant shortcut button, volume buttons, and the power button. A physical fingerprint scanner is located on the rear panel embedded within the classic Motorola batwing logo.
Color options for the devices include:
- Moto E20: Graphite Grey (gray) and Coastal Blue (blue).[8]
- Moto E30: Mineral Grey and Digital Blue.
- Moto E40: Carbon Gray and Pink Clay.
