New Delhi: Motorola is eyeing and trying to grab a slot in the budget smartphone market. On May 13 2014, Motorola launched Moto E, an affordable smartphone at Rs 6,999 to undercut the existing price competition in the smartphone market. Interestingly, the phone is available only online through Flipkart. Motorola has set the price to compete directly with home-grown brands such as Micromax and Karbonn in this price category.
Another smartphone by Motorola, Moto G was launched in February this year at Rs 12,499 and has set the benchmark for smartphones with good performance, affordability and a decent built.
With the launch of Moto E, the consumers will now be confused between Moto G and Moto E and the company hopes that the sales momentum will continue which was generated with the launch of Moto G. Pricing will be the major factor to decide between the two gadgets.
Moto E is a great buy if you don't want a front facing camera or you don't play graphic intensive games. Go with Moto G if you are a person who uses front camera for video chat or you like to take selfies. Moto E also has dual SIM slot which is a key feature.
Both the smartphones are well-built and durable. The Moto G also has water repellent coating, an additional feature that Moto E lacks.
Moto E comes with just 4GB internal storage and you need to buy a memory card. Moto G, on the other hand, comes with a 8GB storage. Both the phones offer a decent battery life.
Moto E has a 4.3-inch display with 960x540p resolution making it a high quality resolution. It has a 5MP camera. Although, both the smartphones run on Android 4.4(KitKat) OS and offer best software experiences.
Overall, it may be worth shelling few thousands extra to get a Moto G over a Moto E if you want some extra features. But if you're okay with the tradeoffs that the phone makes and would rather save some money, Moto E is great bargain.
