Motorola Moto E: People's Phone



Just after super success of Moto G, Motorola is back with another super cheap yet super specification based phone Moto E. 

In India price 6999 rupee ($130), Motorola is shouting loudly to buyers that they will get lot more things by paying this amount of price. But still personally I am disappointed with Motorola's strategy by only putting it on just one online eCommerce site. They used same strategy with Moto G and Moto X by putting it only available on their partnered eCommerce site and succeeded in that but this time I am not very much impressed with their move. If you want to make Moto E a real 'people's phone' then you have to make it available offline with mobile phone retailers.

Now let's find out that if Moto E live's up to our expectations or not?


Design and Looks:

Motorola used similar kind of strategy with Moto E which they used with it's elder brothers Moto G and Moto X.  By design point of view, it is a bit fatter than Moto G and a little heavier. But still considering it's compact size, it will fit in your hands very gently.

The backpanel is made of plastic but still considering its quality, it will feel like a premium quality. Another plus point is you can get total nine color of interchangeable back panels available.

Features:

The phone have a heart of Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 dual core processor which is clocked at 1.2 GHz. Another impressive specification is you will get 1 GB RAM and Adreno 305 GPU, which will make smooth multi tasking and lag free use. In our use, we will be able of Most Wanted and Asphalt 8 kind of heavy games very fluently. This is kind of very good specification at this price range.

You will get 4 GB of internal storage which can be expanded up to 32 GB using micro SD card. Another big thumbs up with storage department is, you are able to transfer app data to memory card. So, it means that you can get upto 32 GB internal storage! 

The phone is available with dual SIM facility which supports 3G networks. 

Camera:

 This is the only feature which avoids this phone to becoming All-In-One package like phone in this segment. The phone features a 5 MP fixed focused camera which performs below average and according to me it's woeful camera. The camera does not even have LED flash.

Display:

Moto E have a 4.3 inch qHD display having resolution of 960x540 because on screen button consumes some amount of display. One plus point, you will get Gorilla Glass 3 protection for display and it is kind of rare for a phone in this price range. 

The display is really excellent in colors reproductions but it is average in sunlight visibility and harsh viewing angles. But still this is the best display in it's price range.

Plus Points: 
  • Extremely cheap
  • Works of latest Android Kitkat
  • Excellent and sturdy body design
Minus Points:
  • Bad camera
  • Display is not at best
  • Only availability on eCommerce site, no offline availabity
