And with the day's launch of Moto E, it confirms to the images and specifications leaked about a week ago. Motorola's "Made to last, priced for all" phone is finally official and surprisingly enough, Indian market is the first to have Moto E start selling almost just after the launch, available for Rs. 6,999 from the e-tailer flipkart, Motorola's only authorised seller in India.
Now as we said, the rumoured specifications were right, i.e. the 4.3" display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 lagging with qHD(540*960) resolution which we thought might be 720p. But considering the surprisingly low price point, it's negotiable. A 5 megapixel camera, without a flash unfortunately, and no front camera. So forget about Skype and selfies. A 1.2 Ghz dual core snapdragon processor backed by a 1 GB of RAM.
On the build front, Moto E comes with interchangeable back shells with different colours. Motorola has the same splash proof Nano coating done as seen on the Moto G in the E as well, which translates to an almost water-resistant capacity, but the company doesn't claim that though. You get a 1980 mAh non-removable battery, courtesy the splash proof coating to protect moisture entering the battery bay. It only comes with a mere 4 GB of internal storage, but is expandable via MicroSD.
And the biggest news of all. A segment where the E did better than G. It comes with Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box, with guaranteed updates until the next release. So Moto E does pack in a punch with the low price point and a good build quality, compared to the Lumia 520, it's greatest competitor, which is priced around 500 bucks more than the E, with lesser set of features and Windows Phone platform, which is lesser preffered due to lack of apps and functionality. But with the 8.1 updates slated for release, Microsoft is all set to take the competition to a whole new level. So it might be nail biting for the consumers to make a choice. But for now, Motorola is star of the alley.
