MicroSD support
Raw Android 4.4 operating system
Great sound
It took a few years
But Motorola has finally left its “edgy” Batman-esque designs and needless Kevlar coating behind. It was needlessly macho
And more than a bit ugly. Like the Moto G and Moto X before it however
The Moto E is a handsome phone
If nothing more
With smooth lines and an uncluttered front face
With a colourful 4.3-inch screen (bigger than an iPhone’s). It’s reminiscent of Palm’

The editors didn't like
No flash or front camera
Non
Removable battery
Terrible internal storage
Battery life
Camera
Horrible sound quality
Heavy body
No front camera
Charger not included(!)
Iffy camera
Not made for games
No 4G
Like its predecessor
Camera quality disappoints. The processor also occasionally struggles to keep up with more hardware-intensive tasks
Like gaming
Its camera and battery life don't impress and it isn't much less than the Moto G
Which remains the best Android bargain around
Underwhelming camera
Lower powered than we'd like
Disappointing main camera
Screen's great but not HD
Tiny internal storage. Occasionally feels a little slow. No 4G. Average rear camera and no frontfacer
Poor camera
Low-spec CPU
Low internal storage
Camera is average
Only 8GB of storage
No front-facing camera
Terrible rear camera
Slow performance/loading at times
Limited internal storage
No 4G connectivity
Motorola’s had to keep the Moto E lean to keep the price down
And that means a few compromises
Though they’re not also surprises. For starters
There’s only 4GB of storage on board
Leaving a pretty measly amount of space for apps after the Android OS install - it’s not a huge problem since you can store apps on your SD card
But you may find yourself moving apps over in the settings more than
Screen is lacking compared to the Moto G
Performance can stutter
Limited storage
Low-end CPU
No 4G LTE
4GB of internal storage is not enough
Crappy rear cam
No front cam
Screen has poor viewing angles
Battery cover rattles
No NFC
Low memory storage
Camera is not great
Poor 5MP rearfacing camera and no frontfacing selfie snapper
Affordable price, Good design and finish, Loaded with latest Android 4.4.2 update, Respectable battery backup
Primary camera has no auto-focus or flash, thus horrible picture quality, No front camera, The loudspeaker is too noisy and bad on quality
If you are looking for a reliable smartphone under a budget of Rs.10,000 then look no further. Yes, we agree that the camera quality is poor and skipping the LED flash and front facing camera was a huge blunder. But in the end, Moto E proves to be a sturd...
At a crazy price of under Rs 7,000, you can see why the Moto E has been a mega hit. Apart from being a handset from a reputed OEM, with extensive after sales support, you don't feel short-changed when it comes to the features and performance. If you're go...

There is absolutely no competition for the phone anywhere in the world now. What it offers at such a price is beyond amazing and impressive. Anyone who uses this phone will fall in love with it. It has done exceedingly well. Most importantly, it outperfo...
High value for money, Sturdy build, Lagfree interface, Gorilla glass protection, Resistant to scratches and water splashes
No front camera, Poor rear camera, Low internal memory, No flash
Moto E does have its own set of shortcomings, but the list is small and looks petty when you consider its strong points, some of them like Gorilla Glass protection that we never thought would make it to this price segment. The components used are sufficie...

Abstract: When we reviewed the Moto G , we said that it would change the landscape of sub-Rs 15,000 smartphones. Motorola's rivals are still coming to terms with it and here Motorola has changed the rules of the game yet again. Priced at Rs 6,999, the Moto E is her...
Great Built Quality, Best Hardware at Affordable Price, Good Amount of RAM, Almost pure android experience
Fixed Focus Camera, No HD Video Recording
Moto E is listed on flipkart exclusively for a price of Rs. 6999 in white and black color, you can additionally buy more back covers in different vibrant colors. Overall it's a pretty good value of money compared to the other phones in the similar price s...
Abstract: Bye, bye other budget smartphone vendors, Motoroloa Moto E has released. It was sold out within minutes of release. Flipkart's servers held its composure thankfully. Motorola Moto E is something people were always looking for in a budget smartphone. And e...
