Motorola Moto E Review

Description

The Moto E continues on the design legacy of the Moto X and Moto G, with a similar slightly chubby, curvy form with a dimple on the back. The handset comes with a 4.3-inch display with a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels (qHD). This might sound low on paper, but on this small screen, it works out to the very sharp pixel density of 256ppi. Best of all, the Moto E runs on the latest Android 4.4 KitKat. The little new Moto features a Snapdragon 200 system chip with 1.2GHz dual-core Cortex A7-based processor and an Adreno 302 GPU. There’s 1GB of RAM, and a scarce 4GB of internal storage (only 2.2GB available to end users!) that you can, luckily, expand via microSD cards. It’s also got a 5-megapixel camera (no flash in sight) capable of recording videos with 480 x 854-pixel resolution at 30 frames per second.

Unfortunate Failure
Phone owned for less than a year

I have had to replace this phone 3 times in 8 months. It would not boot up. Motorola customer service do not support this phone anymore. I can't see why. It is still a company brand phone. I've been reading about how Motorola has been dropping the ball when it comes to updating. Also adding performance apps like sound and bass enhancements can cause loss the speaker to fell. So add apps at your risk.
