Motorola Moto E review: Have a break

GSMArena team, 14 June 2014.



Introduction


Motorola has done it again. The Moto G made quite the stir in the midrange and the story continues. The next one's up - and this time it's even cheaper. With a 4.3" display of qHD resolution, a dual-core processor, 5MP camera, and a solid 1,980mAh battery, the Motorola Moto E may as well be the ultimate budget phone. One that will probably sell by itself with a €100 price tag.


Back with the Moto G, Motorola managed to disrupt the market for quite a while, making otherwise solid competitors by making them seem overpriced and underequipped. Built to a budget but delivering above, the Moto G was one of the unlikely heroes of last season - and continues to exploit the winning formula with new versions adding extra stuff like memory expansion and LTE.

The Moto E launches straight on Android 4.4 KitKat, which is optimized to run on even modest hardware. A phone of the Moto E's caliber is probably what Google had in mind when designing the KitKat update and little wonder, the Moto E is one of the first entry level phones to take advantage. Even though Motorola is soon to be ex-Google's.

Motorola is also offering the Moto E in dual-SIM flavor plus you can buy whatever colorful rear cover you like and freshen up your Moto anytime. Before we continue with our detailed review, let's take a look at the Moto E key features.


Key features



  • 4.3" LCD, 540 x 960px, 256ppi; Gorilla Glass 3 with ambient light sensor


  • Android OS v4.4.3 KitKat with a promise for timely updates


  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 chipset with dual-core 1.2GHz Cortex-A7 CPU; Adreno 302 GPU and 1GB RAM


  • 5 MP fixed-focus camera, FWVGA video recording @ 30fps


  • 4GB of built-in storage, expandable via the microSD card slot


  • Active noise cancellation with a secondary mic


  • 50GB of free Google Drive storage


  • 1,980 mAh battery



Main disadvantages



  • Non user-removable battery


  • Camera doesn't have auto focus and produces low-quality photos and videos


  • No camera LED flash


  • No front-facing camera


  • Comes without a wall charger or a headset



You didn't expect top technology in a £89 smartphone, did you? Of course, the Moto E is bound to lack a feature or two, but that was expected. Motorola never intended to give you a top of the line handset, but the basics are all covered - making calls, texting, emails, social integration, media playback, pictures taking and access to most of the Play Store apps. Android KitKat will make sure it's a smooth ride (most of the time, at least).
