built to last priced for all that's the motto of motorola's latest smartphone designed for developing markets and we're in New York City to bring you a first hands on this is michael fisher and adam lane with pocket now and this is your first look at the motorola moto e as you can see the family resemblance here is strong the Moto e is physically very similar to the Moto X and the Moto G and while it's thicker than each it also has a smaller footprint Specter as you might expect from a low-end smartphone with a dual-core Snapdragon 200 backed up by a gig of ram and just four gigs of storage only two gigs of which are available out of the box still there are a few surprises here including microSD expansion up to 32 gigs a 5 megapixel camera with 720p video capture and a surprisingly loud front-facing speaker all of it powered by a 1980 milliamp hour battery the IPS display up front is qHD resolution and quite bright and it's 4.3 inch size means the Moto e feels substantially smaller than its siblings when held but it also feels robust well there's nothing like mil-spec durability here the motorolas water-resistant nano coating is present and the 12 millimeter thickness combined with the soft touch paint job and Gorilla Glass 3 up front gives the e a reassuringly rugged feel in the hand plus of course there's the dimple around back the Moto e is available for pre-order today at motorola com for 129 dollars in white or black with a variety of colorful back shells we'll have much more on the Moto e in the coming weeks at pocket now stay tuned here on YouTube on social media and at pocketnow.com until next time this has been Michael Fisher with Adam Lane from New York City thanks for watching
