Two years ago, Motorola launched the well-received, mid-range moto G điện thoại that cost only $179 for the 8GB version và $199 for the 16GB version. It had a quad-core Cortex-A7 processor, a 4.5-inch HD (1280x720) screen, & 1GB of RAM. These specs were seen in devices that cost almost double at the time such as the smartphone htc One Mini or the Galaxy S4 Mini. With similar specs for half the price, the moto G offered great value lớn customers looking for a low-priced, mid-range smartphone.

Then, about six months later, Motorola launched the even cheaper xe máy E. Aimed at the 3G only market, it cost just $129 & came with a dual-core Cortex-A7 processor, a 4.3-inch q
HD (960x540) screen, & also 1GB of RAM.



However, this device did not deliver the same value as the moto G. It had a significantly worse camera with no flash, which is important for many customers in emerging markets, and no front-facing camera either. Motorola cut too many corners to create a device that was “only” $50 cheaper, which is why most people still recommended the xe máy G over the xe máy E. The moto G was a much better package overall.


For the second generation of the moto E, Motorola is offering two different versions that get several significant upgrades. There’s still a 3G only version for $120, but now there’s a 4G LTE version too for $150. Both models include 8GB of internal storage (twice as much as the original xe máy E) and support micro
SD (up to 32GB). Battery kích thước has also increased substantially from 1980m
Ah to 2390m
Ah, a 20% improvement. The new moto E also adds a front-facing camera—a serious omission on the first generation—and the rear camera gets autofocus. Each version comes in either đen or white.



The display has grown compared to lớn the last generation moto E, increasing from 4.3-inch to lớn 4.5-inch. However, it keeps the same 960x540 resolution (245 PPI). Considering that the competing Lumia 635 comes with an even lower 854x480 resolution, the xe máy E’s q
HD resolution seems adequate for this price range.

Motorola moto E Tech Specs


The second generation xe máy E 3G still uses a Snapdragon 200 So
C like that found in the original version; however, it moves from a dual-core to lớn quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU.

The moto E 4G LTE, which we’ll be focusing on in this review, uses Qualcomm’s latest low-end So
C, the Snapdragon 410, which is the successor to lớn the Snapdragon 400 found inside both generations of the moto G. It has a quad-core 64-bit Cortex-A53 CPU và an Adreno 306 GPU.

This puts a bit of a kink in Motorola’s sản phẩm lineup, since the moto E 4G LTE should offer better system performance than the xe máy G (2nd gen). địa chỉ in LTE support and it starts looking lượt thích a great value compared khổng lồ the 3G only xe máy G that costs $30 more. But what the moto G lacks in system và wireless performance it makes up for with a larger, higher-resolution display, stereo front-facing speakers, và better cameras front & rear (with LED flash). The moto G really needs LTE support to make it the clear mid-range option.

These jumbled system specs are a result of the staggered six-month release schedule, which gives the xe máy E access khổng lồ newer hardware. With LTE tư vấn becoming ubiquitous, we suspect this idiosyncrasy will disappear in Motorola’s third generation products.


The Snapdragon 410 So
C in the moto E 4G LTE version includes Qualcomm’s third-generation Category 4 LTE modem on package. Functionally equivalent to lớn the Qualcomm MDM9225 baseband processor, it offers 150 Mb/s down & 50 Mb/s up with carrier aggregation. It also supports HSPA+ Release 10 for 84 Mb/s down using dual-carrier HSDPA, along with most major radio modes, including GSM/EDGE, UMTS (WCDMA, TD-SCDMA), LTE (LTE-FDD, LTE-TDD), CDMA1x, & EV-DO Rev. B. It does not tư vấn CDMA2000, however.

We were unable to confirm this, but it’s likely that the primary transceiver is paired with the WFR1620 receive-only transceiver, since this baseband generation can’t support full Category 4 LTE speeds on its own.

The two 3G variants utilize the Qualcomm baseband integrated into the Snapdragon 200 So
C, delivering 3G speeds up to lớn 42 Mbps. It supports GSM/EDGE, WCDMA, CDMA1x, & EV-DO Rev. A.
