Motorola E Review, a comparison from a G owner

Ok, first things first, let me just say this phone absolutely unequivocally rocks. I was expecting this sub-£100 device to be pretty crappy in comparison to the Moto G which I already own. Nope. I was completely wrong.

I bought the Moto E three days ago from O2 as they were first to stock it online, it cost me £79. That’s it, £79. No minimum top-up or delivery charge, which I’d also like to mention arrived the next morning.

First impression out the box, if you closed your eyes and held both the G and E together you’d be pushed to notice a difference between the two. The Moto E possibly feeling slightly chunkier, yet smaller at the same time?? Even with both eyes open they’re virtually identical, and the similarities don’t stop there.

The first thing that truly wowed me was that screen. For £79 you’re getting an amazing screen for your money, it has the EXACT same clarity and vividness that the Moto G has, and to be honest I think it may actually be better (colour and backlight wise) , albeit very (very!) slightly smaller. Very crisp and sharp, I’ve never seen this on a phone less than £110-120. Amazing.

Next, CPU. Yes it’s only dual core but I’m yet to experience any significant lag, if at all. Even Chrome is a breeze (which is nowadays renowned at being super slow on lower-end mobiles). GPU seems fine also, having tried Temple Run and Subway Surfer, they both never dipped any frame rates. So I can’t really fault the onboard processors. Again: amazing.

Camera quality is not spectacular, but guys, this is a budget phone. To be fair the camera is perfect for everyday snaps, I doubt you’d really want more on a daily basis, not unless you’re a professional photographer or have £500 for an iPhone.

The loudspeaker, from what I can tell has moved to the front of the phone and is located where the bottom silver bezel is. The top silver bezel obviously being the in-call speaker.

The battery (nearly 2000mAh!!!) is still on it’s first charge since it arrived (yesterday morning) and is still reading 15% even after some fierce app installing and exploring.

Besides those main points I’m struggling to find any other major differences between the E and it’s older brother.

Motorola are also bringing out new Grip-Shell back covers that replace the stock battery cover and provide a rubberised band around the phones perimeter (like a bumper case, but integrated into the phone). Can’t wait to get my hands on them too, though I should think that will be a few weeks yet.

My final verdict is that this phone is an epic ground-breaker, other companies are truly going to struggle to compete with this device in regards to everything: cost, features etc.

My advice to you: find £80, buy this phone and a lottery ticket.
