<div>Motorola made a comeback to India last year in a brand new avatar with some impressive devices at affordable prices. The company grabbed a lot of attention and forced smartphone makers to provide a better experience package at an affordable price range. The Moto G and the Moto X received a worthy upgrade last year and it was only a matter of time when the smallest of the lot, the Moto E, received an update.</div><div> </div><div>The all new Moto E 2015 has grown in size and sports a 4.5-inch display. The overall design has seen an improvement and it looks and feels better than the last gen. It is still curvy and feels thick, although it fits perfectly in the hand. The back has a rubberised finish for a good grip and you also get a removable textured rim that sits around the edges. This rim is an attractive addition to the smartphone as it boosts the overall quality of the device. One can even change the looks of the smartphone by simply replacing the removable rim from a variety of coloured ones available from Motorola.</div><div> </div><div>Other minor updates include a quad-core processor (Snapdragon 200) which is a bump from the previous dual-core version. The Moto E will also be available in a 4G variant which will come with a snappier Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor. The internal memory has also seen an upgrade as you now get 8GB of onboard storage along with a microSD card expansion and yes, now you also get a front camera with a low quality VGA (640x480) resolution. The loudspeaker at the bottom of the display has been removed and now it is fitted right next to the earpiece. This was probably due to the larger screen size. Motorola has also added a larger battery which provides more juice and longer standby time.</div><div> </div><div>Running on the latest Android Lollipop update the software experience is quite swift and to make it even sweeter, Motorola has added the Ambient Display feature which was first featured on the Moto X. This feature gives you notifications without having to unlock your device.</div><div> </div><div>Motorola, just like Xiaomi, has looked onto the issues from the last year’s model and improved them on the Moto E 2015. While it is quite worth the price, it is not worth upgrading from the last year model until you have the money to splurge. There are some minor tidbits that make it an attractive package, but there are a bunch of smartphones like the Redmi 2 and Lenovo A6000 at a similar Rs 6,000 price range.</div><div> </div><div> </div><div> </div>
