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

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

Abstract: This budget phone from Motorola resembles the Moto G and Moto X a lot. All the three phones have curved edges but the Moto E is thick and heavy to hold. The thickest point of the slightly curved back measures 12.3mm. Packing in a 4.3 inch touch display, i...
Our unbiased view of the Motorola Moto E is that at Rs.6,999, it is one awesome device if you could adjust with the mediocre camera on the phone and the lack of flash. But if you don't want to settle for less than you have options like Xolo A500s, Microm...
Cheapest Price Ever, Impressive Battery, Latest Android operating system
Camera Could be better, Occassional Lag, Minus Front Camera
