Motorola Moto E (2nd Gen.)

I bought Moto E about a couple months ago from today. A friend of mine suggested me to go for Moto, which you might already know is a Google company. I had a small budget of Rs. 6000 and was not sure if I can get a good smartphone in this range or not.

I have already used some handsets from Micromax, Karbonn and a few more Indian brands that provide budget smartphones. I was not willing to buy from them at this small budget as I knew the quality of and common problems with their products.

So, as suggested by my friend, more influenced by the magic of the word "Google", I started searching for a smartphone from Moto on amazon. And I stumbled upon Moto E that was fitting perfectly on my needs and budget.

Why did I purchase Moto E?

So yeah, I bought Moto E XT 1506, 3G, Black. These 5 things made me go and order the handset without thinking much:

1. Stock Android(Lollypop 5)

2. Good appearance

3. Good battery(2390 mAh Li-ON)

4. Powerful processor, 1.2GHz quad-core, 1GB RAM

5. Brand name, of course.

Here are some worth-mentioning features of Moto E:

• 4.5" qHD display with Corning gorilla glass

• Water resistant coating on both sides(in and out)

• Dual SIM support(1st 3G, 2nd 2G)

• VGA front camera and 5MP rear camera

• Curved design that gives you a good grip over your phone

• Useful built-in apps(Moto, Migrate)

• Available in 2 colors(Black, White)

• Available with 4G support as well(I bought 3G)

Likes:

1. No lags whatsoever when used normally

2. Splendid design, the phone fits really well in hand

3. Good battery, requires less power to get charged, charges real quick, can last for 2 days on general use

4. 8GB internal memory, external memory expandable up to 32GB

5. Good sound/call quality

Dislikes:

1. May lag a bit with graphic-intense games

2. Camera quality, both front and rear, may disappoint a bit. No flash

3. A bit heavy handset(145g)

4. No USB OTG support

Moto E 2nd generation handset(XT 1506) comes with a USB charger, earphones, and phone manuals. The charger’s wire when detached from the charging jack, can also be used as USB data cable to connect the phone with a computer via USB.

All in all, its a good smartphone to get under 6000, I bought this one from Amazon at Rs. 5225. Conclusively, if you are looking for a fast operating smartphone in this range, it is one of the primes to go for.

Peace.
