Motorola known for its high ends with very good specification,now enters into lower budget smartphones so that it can show its presence in every range of phones.The Motorola Moto E seems aimed at cashing in on the success of the Moto G, a phone which combined mid-range specs with an eye-catchingly low price tag and went on to sell by the truck-load.The approach taken by the Moto E is much the same, except that rather than being mid-range it's an entry level handset with a truly bargain bucket price.Let's check it out whether it can compete with lower end android phones of various companies like micromax,karbonnetc.

Screensize and Camera
The 4.3-inch screen has a resolution of 540x960 pixels (equating to 256 pixels per inch) -- a considerable step down from the HD resolution of the Moto G and Moto X. It's protected by Gorilla Glass though, and perfectly decent for casual surfing. If your eyes have got used to HD sharpness though, the slight blurriness of small type and lack of 'pop' from HD images can leave you feeling a bit short-changed.
The 5-megapixel camera is pretty basic. It's fixed focus, there's no flash and only really HDR and Panorama settings to play with -- it's pretty much point and shoot. Within its limitations though, picture quality isn't bad, so long as you're careful with your light and don't rush.It records video at 854x480 pixels at 30fps but there's no front-facing camera for video calls or selfies, which seems like quite a serious omission at this price point.
Battery and Android Version
The 1980mAh battery rounds out the unapologetic low-end specifications.The battery life isn't quite "all day" as advertised, but it's not horrible considering the small size.The Moto E lasted just about 6.5 hours with auto-brightness enabled. Compare this to the Moto G, which lasts a little more than 8 hours. Certainly this isn't the most scientific test (it is the most fun, though) but it should give you a general idea of battery life. And 6.5 hours of He Man is enough for anyone. Almost. Your battery life will vary based on your network and all the things you have going on in the background, of course.
As you expect all the phones of Motorola will be equipped with latest android version and Moto E with no doubts comes with android version 4.4.2 kitkat.
Processor and Memory
The dual-core 1.2GHz Qualcomm processor is backed by 1GB RAM and while it's not as powerful as its Moto siblings, that's still a pretty powerful beast to find in a handset at this price. It makes using it a joy, as apps open quickly, and web pages load with the speed you'd expect from a considerably more expensive device. It comes with a paltry 4GB of memory on board but you can add a further 32GB via microSD card.
Connectivity and Additional Features
Moto E equipped with Dual Sim features which supports 3G,but not 4G which is expected with Motorola as it would like sell their products all around the world.
You will get various preloaded apps and widgets which is expected with android phones.

Unfortunately for the Motorola Moto E, the screen is so-small, the camera a little below par, and the battery life isn't great. However, it's certainly very cheap, and as far as its processor, expandable memory and up-to-date Android operating system go, it's cheerful too. It might suit you well if you only have basic requirmenents of a smartphone.
