When I attended the Motorola breakfast announcing the Moto E and Moto G 4G back in May this year, I had to say that at least in relation to the E, I didn't have high hopes. By that stage, I'd already reviewed the Moto G, and while it (then) lacked a 4G op...

Just when you thought bargains didn’t get any better than the Moto G, Motorola gives its wonder phone a little baby brother to play with: meet the Motorola Moto E, an Android smartphone that’s only slightly smaller and lower-specced, and at just £79.99...

It took a few years, but Motorola has finally left its “edgy” Batman-esque designs and needless Kevlar coating behind. It was needlessly macho, and more than a bit ugly. Like the Moto G and Moto X before it however, the Moto E is a handsome phone, if nothing more, with smooth lines and an uncluttered front face, with a colourful 4.3-inch screen (bigger than an iPhone’s). It’s reminiscent of Palm’...
Motorola’s had to keep the Moto E lean to keep the price down, and that means a few compromises, though they’re not also surprises. For starters, there’s only 4GB of storage on board, leaving a pretty measly amount of space for apps after the Android OS install - it’s not a huge problem since you can store apps on your SD card, but you may find yourself moving apps over in the settings more than...
Motorola just keeps on stunning us with its low price mobiles: quite how the company can be making a profit on the Moto E is beyond us, but that’s only for them to worry about, not you. All you need to know is that this is the best phone you can buy fo...

Out of the many budget smartphones available today, the Motorola Moto E is easily one of the best. It may have had a few compromises here and there but with a price tag under RM400, we won't complain as the Moto E does all the essentials well and should...

Last year, all the most exciting mobile phones were dirt cheap. For just a hundred quid or so, I could buy an amazing device without tying myself to a contract. So I convinced myself cheap phones were the future. Maybe they still are. But not Motorola's...

No. Buy a Moto G, or maybe a OnePlus One. If you're really looking for a great smartphone in the £100-ish price range, I'm still going to say that the £149 Moto G is your pick. It's just able to handle tasks more fluidly, has a better display, dual-front...

A smartphone for the cost-conscious. Going SIM-free and eschewing carrier subsidies has been slow to catch on in the US, but with T-Mobile USA's “Uncarrier” movement gaining pace, perhaps the time is right for handsets that bear their true sticker price...

Competing on price is a tough business. The race to the bottom end has seen firms like Huawei and ZTE flourish, though perhaps not in the US where Motorola at least has brand advantage. The $129 Moto E is ambitious in a similar way to the Moto G, underc...

If I asked you which phone is Motorola's best selling phone of all time, you would probably answer with the Moto X. You would be wrong as it is the Moto G, which is a budget phone. Budget phones are generally laughed at, but they happen to part of the fas...

The Moto E almost seems like buying a phone from 2011 that is still in an unopened box. The DROID Bionic might just be the best comparison, but in terms of pure specs, it probably was a better phone since it sported a front-facing camera, had more interna...

For a number of years, nobody seemed to care much about Motorola. This changed abruptly with the release of the Moto G at the end of 2013. This great - and yet cheap (169 euros for the 8-GB-version) - smartphone managed to not only convince us, but also t...

If you thought Motorola was aiming low with last year's Moto G, think again. With its $130 price tag, the Moto E targets the true entry-level segment of the smartphone market. It may lack the appealing technology in today's mid-range and high-end handset...

The Motorola Moto E is by no means perfect, but it is a smartphone any person could carry with pride. In exchange for top-of-the-line features, it offers solid performance at just about the lowest price possible without a contract. The Moto E covers the b...

Excellent value for money. Comfortable design houses a decent display. Performance from the Snapdragon 200 SoC is better than expected. Stock Android leaves the bloat at home.
Fixedfocus camera is often unusable. Limited internal storage.
Over the years testing and reviewing smartphones, I haven’t used a device that retailed for under $130 at launch that was actually decent. Until I tried out the Moto E, that is. The Moto E isn’t a device suited to power users. It isn’t a device for peopl...

Before you check me for a head injury, I don't think a low-end Android phone on a small prepaid carrier is our future. It's the future from 15 years ago. In 2000, PDAs ruled the roost. If you wanted a color device that played games and handled your basic...
