it's on enthusiasts hardware where we first see the innovations that trickle down to the mainstream stuff a couple of years later so there's usually a whole lot more for me to say about a piece of high-end gear than a value one but once in a while it's helpful to come back down to earth and find out just how much the value customer gives up compared to the enthusiast customer so welcome to a bit of a new style video for me I'm calling it a micro review about the motorola moto e 2015 for G variant of course RHA tigt and h100 i GTX all-in-one liquid coolers improve both the appearance and cooling of your PC click my face or this spot or this spot how many annotations can he make Nick do to learn more since this is a micro video there's no time to waste so let's get right into it this little guy is an entry-level smartphone whose killer feature is right in the name 4G connectivity but it gets some other upgrades as well compared to the 2014 model the processor has been boosted to a Snapdragon 410 Ram hold steady at 1 gigabyte storage gets bumped from 4 to 8 gigs with the same microSD expansion the battery capacity jumps 20 percent to 20 390 milliamp hours and the screen jumps from a 540 by 960 pixel 4.3 inch display to an OK the resolution stayed the same and it only got bumped to 4 and a half inches but size ain't the only important thing here folks the new display is an IPS panel it's not the best I've seen and whites have a yellow or even slightly orange cast and blues are oversaturated but it's a heck of a lot better than TN so yay joining that at the front of the phone is a 640 by 480 selfie cam a speaker that pulls triple duty as the headset speaker an unexceptional loudspeaker and a great little storage net for Pocket lint and other random crap and that's about it the buttons are on screen at the back is the camera for 5 megapixel stills in 720p 30fps video that stunningly doesn't include an LED flash I mean seriously how much more with that of cost then around the edges of the removable rubbery feeling ring are the micro USB charging port satisfying feeling volume and lock buttons and a headphone jack then you can pull that baby off if you want to get a different color one or access the micro SD and SIM slots 3G version users will actually find to slim sauce and slim thin slots in here so let's talk about using this thing the screen is noticeably non-retina it's pretty slow Android 5.0 lollipop in spite of its non bloated basically vanilla implementation other than some little stuff like the Handy notification glance be true that I love on the droid turbo cannot save it compared to older hardware something like an iPhone 4 or 4s non power users might not be bothered but on occasion I found myself putting the phone aside to do something else while I wait for something which is never a good sign which isn't to say that the whole experience is terrible the phone feels really solid and the ergonomics are mostly good with more grip on the back being my only real request 2.4 only gigahertz Wi-Fi is a bit of a drag but the good news is that my Bell LTE connection is significantly faster than my landline which the 2.4 gigahertz connection could saturate anyway and I have lots of data so there's that battery life was a really strong point I was expecting going from a 4000 milliamp hour phone the droid turbo to a 2000 ish milliamp hour battery would bother me but the lower power Hardware in here allows it to easily make it through my most demanding days with plenty of battery to spare which leads to the micro conclusion of this micro video the camera is not as bad as I expected in decent light but the lack of a flash means that poor lighting conditions will come often and while at 20 dollars more than the original Moto e it doesn't feel quite like a direct replacement given how much has improved you're getting a great value for your extra 20 bucks with the most notable bits being for me the IPS display the improved battery life and of course LTE connectivity the only decision then to make is whether to spend a little bit more for the significantly better Moto G speaking of significantly better
