Motorola MOTO G is an astonishing bargain combining a good set of specs for a rock-bottom price if that's still a bit too pricey for you then cast your eyes over the Moto e it's an Android KitKat packin a 4.3 inch smartphone with cut-down specs and an even more cut-down price you'll easily spot the family resemblance between the Moto e and the G although smaller it has the same curved back which is very comfortable to hold the little dimple for the Moto logo and it has interchangeable about covers allowing you to change the color when you fancy a fresh look it looks and feels like a slightly less luxurious phone in the Moto G but it does at least have a toughened of Gorilla Glass 3 display the internals have been given a water-resistant coating but it's play has a 960 by 540 pixel resolution which is lower than the G 720p display it's not quite as crisp and it's viewing angles are great but it's good colors and regional brightness and make it more than adequate for everyday tasks inside is a 1.2 gigahertz dual-core processor instead of the quad-core chip found in the Moto G didn't put in a brilliant performance on benchmarks but navigating around the Android interface was still pretty nippy with menus and apps opening without any of that annoying lag it handled a spot of light gaming - although frame rates did noticeably drop on occasion running the latest Android 4.4.2 KitKat software which is a huge plus for such a budget phone which tend to save money by coming with older versions of Android it's a near stock version of Android which is simply enough for even the most hardened technophobes to get used to on the back is a 5 megapixel camera which I found generally unimpressive thanks to its low quality and fixed focus lens moto e is really not a phone for photography fans in general the Moto e packs enough tech to tackle the absolute basics adequately and is a very cheap entrance into the Android world its price however isn't much lower than the motive which has a better camera more powerful processor improved screen and along the battery life unless you're shopping on a very tight budget in the Moto G is still the best value phone around I'm under Hoyle for C net and this is the motorola moto e you
