MOTO E, all you need to know!
Moto E is all set to be the gamechanger in the budget android phones battle. Here are the features and reasons you need to remember this for:
Pros:
- For under 7000Rs, you get Corning gorilla glass, splash proof water resistant coating. Even samsung series mobiles that are close to 20000rs don't provide this. It seriously helps in reducing scratches and adds a premium look to the display as it is glass unlike the plastic covering that you come across in others.
The BUILD QUALITY is the BEST HANDS DOWN! Coming from an OEM manufacturer, the finishing and the quality of plastic used is way better than the 20000rs+ samsung phones.
- 1.2 ghz dual core processor, snap dragon 200, though slightly an older model processor, combine this with the 1gb RAM and be rest assured you have a butter smooth interface and browsing experience. AT THIS PRICE RANGE, 1.2GHZ, 1GB RAM, SNAPDRAGON PROCESSOR WITH ADRENO 302GPU IS UNMATCHED!
ANDROID KITKAT V4.4 OUT OF THE BOX!
Since the display is covered over by glass(corning gorilla glass), it looks amazingly premium when you hold it in your hands compared to the plasticy looking samsungs and micromaxes.
The qHD(540x960) display with 256ppi density is better than Samsung Galaxy Grand series mobiles which retails for around 18000+. and in real life too, the image reproduction is just unbelievably amazing.
It also has adreno 302 400hz single core gpu, which can easily take on some of the high intensity games like FLcommander, latest angry birds, etc., though you will finds lags in the super high end games like NOVA 3 or asphalt 8 etc. but unlike the other phones in this range, it will be able to run the apps, but you cannot expect a lag free experience, but it still does the job when you reduce the graphics detail level.
The camera: Only rear main camera. 5 mega pixels. No autofocus. No flash. Yet, this is more than sufficient as this phone proves to do a good job even in low light settings. Please note, there is no auto focus and tweaking the settings a little you can obtain grain free, fine quality pictures even in low light. It does take 720p videos at 30fps.
The best feature, which even the moto G and X lacks: SD card support! expandable upto 32gb!. This more than makes up for the lack of OTG support. Please note 4gb of internal storage is given, out of which around 1.8gb will be already utilized for the android system. Expect around 2 to slightly less than 2gb of free internal storage. It is highly advised you book at least a 16gb sd card.
The 1980mAh is sure as hell to last an entire day's usage. Please note the battery remains user not-removable as in the case of moto g and x. With a combination of heavy and moderate usage, it lasted easily for an entire day.
It supports 3g, 2g, wi-fi connectivity.
The speakers are in the front so it doesn't get blocked when you keep it face up on flat surfaces.
Beautiful customizable back covers, you can make you own personal statement now. You can be sure of its quality coming from motorola themselves, much like the ones available with moto g.
All other sensors are standard with GPS, magnetometer, proximity sensor etc, .
CONS:
At this killer price, there is really no CONS to be added. Yet, let me point out to things that the Moto e is lacking compared to its elder sibling The moto g:
Moto g has a snapdragon 400 quadcore, this is only dual core.
No led notification.
No flash for camera. No front facing camera!
No otg support.
Graphics not sufficient for really heavy and high end graphics intensive games like NOVA 3, Asphalt 3 etc., though they will run with less specifications on graphics detail.
MOTO e is sure as hell built to last and a sure fire game-changer in the indian budget android market in INDIA!
