In January 2015, a leaked image of the rumored 2nd Gen. Moto E found its way to the surface of the news cycle, and ever since expectations for an announcement from Motorola have been high.

It hasn’t happened just yet, but that hasn’t stopped Best Buy from listing the unannounced device on its site, and even putting a price tag on it. As discovered by Android Police, the Moto E (2nd Gen.) is now listed on Best Buy’s site, and even has a price of $99.99 for Sprint’s prepaid service. However, while Best Buy does offer the ability to add it to the cart for checkout, the big box retailer is currently not offering shipping, and the unofficial device can’t be picked up in any physical retail stores just yet, either.

As far as features go, the Best Buy listing indicates the new Moto E will feature a 4.5-inch TFT qHD display, a Qualcomm quad-core processor clocked at 1.2GHz, 8GB of built-in storage with 1GB of RAM, and Android 5.0 Lollipop running the show out of the box.

As far as a release date goes, though, it’s still unknown at this point.
