Since their official debut a few months ago, the Moto E5 Play and Moto E5 Plus have launched on carriers like Sprint, Cricket, and Boost Mobile. Now they've arrived on another new operator.
The Moto E5 Play and Moto E5 Plus are now available from T-Mobile. Pricing for the Moto E5 Play is set at $6 down and $6 per month for 24 months, or $150 full retail price. The Moto E5 Plus will set you back $9 down and $9 per month for 24 months, or $225 full retail.
One of the most notable features of these new phones is that they both support T-Mobile's 600MHz (Band 71) LTE coverage. This coverage reaches farther and is better at penetrating buildings than mid-band LTE, and T-Mobile has deployed it in more than 900 U.S. cities. Only select T-Mo phones support 600MHz LTE, and so it's great to see two more devices launch with that feature.
The Moto E5 Play also features a 5.2-inch 1280x720 screen, quad-core Snapdragon 427 processor, 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and a microSD card slot. It's packing 8MP rear and 5MP front cameras, each with their own flash, as well as a 2800mAh battery and 3.5mm headphone jack. It's also got a water repellent coating to protect it from splashes.
Meanwhile, the Moto E5 Plus has a larger 6-inch 1440x720 screen, octa-core Snapdragon 435 processor, 3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage, and a microSD card slot. It also boasts 12MP rear and 8MP front cameras, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a water repellent coating. Its battery measures in at 5000mAh, which is one of the largest smartphone batteries on the market.
It's nice to see the Moto E5 Play and Moto E5 Plus launch on T-Mobile, giving customers two more affordable smartphone options that also support T-Mo's latest 600MHz LTE coverage. If you're interested in making the T-Mobile Moto E5 Play or Moto E5 Plus your next daily driver, hit the links below.
