After the success of Moto G, a phone with above normal spec generated quite a fuzz when it was released for just $179. Now Motorola is releasing another phone with lower spec that Moto G, but this is not a cheap and slow phone, for the price $129, it has really good specs that should deliver smooth performance for the android OS.

It has 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 CPU coupled with Adreno 302 GPU and 1GB of RAM. It also features 4.3 inches IPS display with 960x540 pixels. It only has 4GB built-in storage, but it also has expandable Micro SD slot that can support up to 32 GB. It has 1980 mAh battery, considering the screen and hardware, and provide more than 9 hours of Wi-Fi internet surfing.
It has 5MP rear camera without flash and also there is no front facing camera. The camera is really the weak point for Moto E, photos are really not that good comparing other entry level android phones such as Sony Xperia M and Nokia Lumia 520. Also Moto E can only record video in 480p.
Out of 4 GB internal storage space, only 2 GB is usable, expandable SD card option is there but, with Android 4.4, version of Android OS ships with Moto E, put restriction on how SD cards can be used by apps – you won’t be able to install and run apps from SD cards like you might have done with older version of Android prior to KitKat.
Overall for the price this is a starter phone and affordable for the developing countries. People in the developing countries wanted to take the advantage of using smartphones while wanted to limit the expenditure.
This is a good phone, but there are really great alternatives are out there with the same price point and with little bit good specs.
