MOTO G is best selling handset ever in the market as of now. After the success of MOTO G Company has lunched MOTO X and now one more version with a low cost budget and providing with latest features MOTO E. This device is not replacing MOTO G but it is an entry in low cost model in order to compete rivals such as Nokia Lumia series and Samsung.

MOTO E REVIEW

NUTS & BOLTS:

It has a 4.3 inch display and dual-core processor of 1.2 GHZ, RAM of 1GB and internal memory of 4GB extended up to 32 GB. It has 5MP Rear camera and a powerful battery life with 1980mAh battery.  

Screen is showing a sharp display with 540 X 960 resolutions and a 256ppi density. The text and images gives vivid rich experience to user. 5 MOTO E prices is equal to one Samsung Galaxy S5.

Screen:

Coming on the screen it has low price but the screen has been covered with latest Gorilla Glass 3, giving a tough layer guard on the front-end of phone. For the trendy people out there they can match their attire colors with back panel of MOTO E.

It also has anti-smudge coating over the glass. Design is similar to that of MOTO G but with the plastic body this has made an entry in the market.

Swap the rear shells to get color match

Five different colors are available for the back flip. Back flip has rubberized bumper that fits on the side of the phone and protect the rear end.

Height & Weight

Your palm can comfortably hold the MOTO E device and the rear of this device is in curved shape.  It weights around 142g.On the side it measures 12.3mm as compared to MOTO G 11.6mm and Lumia 520 9.9mm.  It has 4.3 inch display healthy enough to give user a bright and sharp experience and design splendid to fit your palm.
Frame size of 124.8 X 64.8 mm has made a brilliant re-organization of buttons. On the right hand side there is button of power/lock and volume key. On the top headphone jack can be found and on the opposite hand micro USB.

Network:

Yes, with the budget low this device has 3G, GPS, and latest Bluetooth 4.0 and yes also Wi-Fi. The web browsing proved to be suave. 

 Alert Feature:

Amazing new and innovative alert feature is being added into this device. A Motorola alert allows this device to automatically send notification to friends and family of your location. There is no need to add any third party app.

Even for the meeting or get together you can send your contact location with friends. With the emergency mode available with this you can quickly sound an alarm or with auto dial a pre-determined number.

Camera:

It has a 5.0 MP camera but no flash. Video recording is possible of format FVWGA and no HD. Camera interface is similar to that of MOTO G. For video calling there is no front facing camera. With a low budget smartphone in this range 5.0 MP is what you can expect the best, but for the selfie lovers this is thumbs down.

Final Words:

MOTO E is perfect smartphone that falls in range of less than 10k model. The performance of rear camera is still unknown but with 1GB of RAM we can expect the performance of this device at superior level.

 Other rivals such as Samsung and Nokia Lumia devices have less than 1 GB RAM while MOTO E gives 1GB RAM at a budget price. At the end MOTO E is a descent phone with latest Android OS and with dual sim-functionality. 

KitKat after 6 Months

Android KitKat 

on less than 10% devices

Kitkat has not much steady growth in market and after it release from past 6 months, there are only 10% of device that have OS version of KitKat.  KitKat was release last October and currently it’s running on only 8.5% of Android devices according to Google’s most recent number.

Nexus 5

During last week of April the data was collected and data is overall based on Android devices running version 2.2 or higher. KitKat seems to grow but on a snail pace. As per reports in the month of January only 1.4% of Android devices were running KitKat.

Numbers in the above data shows Google is still striving for Android fragmentation.

Data till now

Coming to competitor Apple has released IOS 7 in September 2013 and it has overall 80% device using it.

Apple pushes it user to make an update of OS irrespective of their device or carrier, where as Google updates are dependent on manufacturers, so user have to be dependent on the manufacturer for the version of Android.

Apple’s next

iPhone 6

is termed to be stunning visual wrapper.

Concept of new iPhone 6 is having edge-to-edge display and having minimal side left. This is considered as one of the main reason the next IPhone is not visible in huge size then the current iPhone 5S. The edge-to-edge display allows space for the bigger screen and physical body to be slightly larger. The images also shows that the new IPhone has curved edges and brighter and sharper display. From the picture we can make out that IPhone 6 is almost 20% thinner then the previous IPhone 5S.  No two tone design exits in the back of the IPhone and plastic cap on the top and bottom is no more into existence. The below are the images of IPhone 6, would you go for it?
