I have ordered one Moto E 1 and Half years ago, phone still works decent, although it had few software issues but motorola was generous enough to push Android lollipop ( 5.0) to Moto E which runs smooth on this phone. If you are looking for a Budget phone.
But wont compromise on brand than Moto E is a good alternative for you, Although it wont run more demanding tasks or Games but would work just fine as phone primarily used for communication purposes. Battery is a 1500 MAH whic is non-removeableCurrently phone sells around rs 5000 mark.
