The editors liked
Low price
Nice build
Decent screen and power
The Moto E runs (basically) stock Android
So it'll be updated pretty quickly
Battery life that lasts all day
And then some more
A good size for the average hand
The new Motorola Moto E is proof that a cheap phone can be good
Too
You're getting reasonable performance
A sharp display and LTE connectivity for $150
Unlocked
Solid battery life
With close to two days
Comfortable design
Two SIMs
If that sort of thing works for you
Pretty stock version of Android
And one of the most up-to-date iterations at that
Unlocked budget phone
MicroSD storage will be useful for ex
Dual-SIM
Inexpensive smartphone
Light Android 4.4 overlay
Expandable memory
DualSIM
Great camera for the price
Good 4.3inch screen with responsive touch panel
The editors didn't like
No flash or front camera
Nonremovable battery
Terrible internal storage
There's no 4G here
But frankly
What did you expect?
Qualcomm's Snapdragon 200 is slow compared to what's in most other phones
And you notice it
The camera is pretty poor
Hardware
Like its predecessor
Camera quality disappoints. The processor also occasionally struggles to keep up with more hardware-intensive tasks
Great design, affordable price, good display, excellent battery life, microSD support, raw Android 4.4 operating system, great sound
No front-facing camera, terrible rear camera, slow performance/loading at times, limited internal storage, no 4G connectivity
The Moto E is a brilliant device for the price. If your budget doesn't stretch beyond £100 then we would say - ignoring the lack of 4G connectivity - that there isn't a competing device that offers the same overall experience, specification and desi...

Design and manufacturing quality worthy of a bigname smartphone, OS is fluid, responsive, Fair screen, Gorilla Glass 3
Battery life, Camera, Horrible sound quality, Heavy body, No front camera, Charger not included(!)
With such serious multimedia and battery shortcomings, the Moto E is clearly no Rolls Royce of the phone industry. But it would be unfair to judge it based solely on that. After the Moto G's excellent value for money, Motorola is striking the same chord w...
That price! At £89, no other phone comes close to matching the specs offered here, Android 4.4 KitKat out of the box, The best screen resolution in its class
Poor 5MP rearfacing camera and no frontfacing selfie snapper, Very little storage, 1.2GHz CPU struggles with some tasks

Disappointing main camera, Screen's great but not HD, No 4G, No front camera
Open Gallery If a £90 Nexus existed, it would look a lot like the Moto E. This isn't just Android for the masses, it's tidy, reliable, loveable Android for the masses. No, it isn't perfect. But considering we're yet to meet a mobile device that...

Motorola set a new benchmark for the budget smartphone with the Moto G but has gone even lower on price with the Moto E. Although we're impressed with the Moto E which will make a great first or spare smartphone, it's worth paying the extra for the Moto G...
It took a few years, but Motorola has finally left its “edgy” Batman-esque designs and needless Kevlar coating behind. It was needlessly macho, and more than a bit ugly. Like the Moto G and Moto X before it however, the Moto E is a handsome phone, if nothing more, with smooth lines and an uncluttered front face, with a colourful 4.3-inch screen (bigger than an iPhone’s). It’s reminiscent of Palm’
Motorola’s had to keep the Moto E lean to keep the price down, and that means a few compromises, though they’re not also surprises. For starters, there’s only 4GB of storage on board, leaving a pretty measly amount of space for apps after the Android OS install - it’s not a huge problem since you can store apps on your SD card, but you may find yourself moving apps over in the settings more than
Motorola just keeps on stunning us with its low price mobiles: quite how the company can be making a profit on the Moto E is beyond us, but that’s only for them to worry about, not you. All you need to know is that this is the best phone you can buy fo...

The Moto E is cheap, comes with the latest Android KitKat software and has a screen and processor capable of tackling the essentials
Its camera and battery life don't impress and it isn't much less than the Moto G, which remains the best Android bargain around
The Motorola Moto E is unquestionably cheap and has a set of specs that makes it more than capable of handling your basic everyday tasks. Its price, however, isn't much lower than the Moto G, which has a better camera, more powerful processor, improved s...

Makes plenty of compromises, but performs where it counts; the Moto E is another winner from Motorola...
