Good display
Excellent battery life
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’
Un-skinned Android 4.4.2 Kitkat

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

With a decent display you can consider using the Moto E to watch movies and TV shows on, plus the addition of a microSD slot (for cards up to 32GB in size) makes it easier for you to carry round your favourite videos. That expandable storage option is cer...

Abstract: If you're currently in the market for the best smartphone going around, the Samsung Galaxy S6 should be close to, if not at the top of your shopping list. Unfortunately it's not exactly the most budget friendly device; at ~$550 unlocked and off-contract...

The Motorola Moto E definitely has flaws, but they are easy to overlook depending on your needs. As far as basic smartphones go, the Moto E comes close to firing on all cylinders. The hardware is quite good. The phone is plain, but everything about it wor...

Affordable plans, phone retails for a low price but does not feel cheap, excellent battery life, has a microSD slot, Motorola's additional software doesn't add much bloat
Camera is painfully bad; phone can be a bit sluggish
Abstract: Motorola has worked pretty hard to produce an Android device that would fit into three various tiers. You have your Moto X, which is more so your high-end offering, the Moto G which is pretty darn close to your mid-range and then you have the Moto E which...
