hey guys John Velasco here with Android authority this is the Moto e 4 it's available right now with Verizon Wireless and you might call me crazy but this is a $70 smart phone so yeah we're talking about a brand new phone that's priced at $70 right out of the gate and you guys are familiar with the Moto e line they've always been known for being very aggressive in terms of pricing so there's not really a whole lot surprise here but what's more important is that it passed that $100 threshold so now it's below that at 70 bucks when your price is low you really can't expect much with the design it's kind of typical the other handsets in Moto's lineup like the Moto G series so it's made of all plastic and you have this textured pattern on the back it feels lightweight and it doesn't scream premium or style in any way but of course that's not the intent but what I'd like to note here that it does feature a 13 1/2 millimeter headset jack it has expandable storage there's even a front-facing LED flash and yes a fingerprint sensor and that's especially noteworthy because at this price point it's very unheard of to find the 5 inch 720p display it looks decent when you look at it straight on the resolution is ample enough to read fine text and whatnot but the colors do seem a little bit washed out and the viewing angles are kind of poor especially at wide angles it tends to distort a lot but again that's what you kind of expect it's running Android 7.1 nougat and it's nice that they've thrown in some of the typical moto experiences like moto display so when the phone's off it'll breathe some useful information like the time date and battery level so you're not constantly turning on the phone and it's powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 425 chip with 2 gigabytes of RAM nothing to gloat about but at least they'll handle some basic operations with no issues whatsoever just don't expect to be playing a lot of games with this one and finally the camera in the backs an 8 megapixel camera it has an LED flash it uses a four piece composite lens and it tops out at 1080p with its video capture so it's there for the convenience I'm not expecting it to take the best shots but if you need to take something it's there for you seriously if you're looking for a temporary phone this is a good thing to think about because you're not going to spend a whole lot of money 70 bucks is nothing compared to two hundred four hundred or even five hundred dollars and honestly it can still do the same things as most high-end smartphones but probably at a slower pace the design is not all that appealing but again that's what you get for $70 so if you guys want to learn more about the Moto e four you can check out our website andrew authority com2 Jhanvi signing off
