It's hard not to love the
Moto G, it being an incredible handset for the asking price and
the benchmark
against which other affordable smartphones should be judged. A lot's
happened since that phone's release, though, namely the news of Lenovo's planned acquisition
of Motorola from Google. Motorola may be facing new leadership, but
recognizes it's on to a good thing with low-cost, high-value Android
hardware, today announcing another smartphone of that nature, the
Moto E.
As a retailer leak suggested,
the
Moto E has slightly weaker specs than that of the G, with a
4.3-inch, 960 x 540 display (covered by Gorilla Glass 3 and an
anti-smudge coating), 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor, 1GB of
RAM, 4GB of internal storage (with a microSD slot for more), a 1,980mAh
battery and a 5-megapixel main camera.
The company is touting durability as one of the phone's
key attributes. Its body is covered with water-resistant coating in
addition to the Gorilla Glass front panel. Like the G before it, you'll
be able to customize the handset with a number of different rear shells
of varying colors and textures. It'll run (almost stock) Android 4.4
KitKat out of the box, and Motorola has committed to at least one major
update cycle. Motorola's also crafted a few apps to launch alongside the
Moto E with a focus on location sharing, including "Location Status"
which sends a message to a nominated person when you leave or arrive a
particular destination, and "Meet me/Follow me" which helps you to track
down a friend in a crowd. Most importantly, the
Moto E is launching July 14th 12:00 Am for an unlocked price of Rs 6999 in the India Through Flipkart. Order as soon as its available as Stocks wont last 15 minutes ,I can say that from the Moto G Launch .

Engadget People Had a quick play with the new device at Motorola's
launch event in London, and it's not much of a departure from the X and G
that came before it. A tad shorter than the the G, due to its smaller
4.3-inch display, but more or less a ringer otherwise. The same clean,
tight design logic can be seen in the E, including the curved back cover
and plain face sans any kind of soft key. Not as plain as we
might've liked, though, as the large and lurid speaker grilles on the
front of the device don't quite seem to fit among the relative
simplicity of the rest of the phone. It's nice and light but with that
sturdy, robust build quality that betrays its price point.
Thumbing through the home screen and app drawer, first
impressions are that performance will certainly be adequate, and during
the on-stage announcement, Motorola called out the Galaxy S4 for being
slower than the E in basic metrics like time to return to the homescreen
from within an app. It's obviously not as capable as the S4 in terms of
raw power, but if we've learnt anything from the Moto G, it's that
Motorola knows how to get the best of mediocre components.

Moto E features
The Moto E may be one of the cheapest brand name device you can buy,
but that doesn’t mean you’ll have to settle with the lousy experience
that devices in this class typically offer.
First, the Moto E features Gorilla Glass 3 and is resistant to splashes, hence the “made to last” tagline.
The qHD display is a good proposition for the price. Because of its
relatively small size, pixel density is 256 ppi; for comparison, the
Moto X offers a 326 ppi density. We haven’t got the chance to assess the
display’s quality yet, but signs are encouraging.
The processing package is decidedly unexciting, as are the 1GB of RAM
and 4GB of internal storage. But again, looking at the entire spec
sheet through the price lens, the Moto E still delivers great bang for
the buck, especially when considering what $100 typically buys you. You
also get a microSD card slot to supplement that puny 4GB of storage, a
5MP rear camera, and a 1,980 mAh battery, which should last you quite a
while thanks to the no frills screen.
The one gig of RAM is more than enough to run Android 4.4 KitKat, and
we salute Motorola’s commitment to keeping it simple. The entire OS is
almost stock-like, with the exception of Motorola’s few additions, which
include Assist and the Motorola Alert. Motorola guarantees at least one
update for the Moto E, to Android 4.4.3 (which hasn’t been released
yet.)
The Moto E won’t ever win any beauty pageants, with its bulky 12mm
profile and thick bezels around the screen. Design-wise, we’re looking
at Motorola’s now familiar language shrunk down to a smaller package,
though the Moto E is just a few millimeters shorter than its Moto G
sibling. The device is available in black and white, but just like with
the G, you will be able to swap covers to suit your tastes. There will
be nine color options for the shells, including Moto’s now classic lime,
turquoise, and pink.
Price and availability
The Moto E will be available in 40 countries and from over 80
carriers over the coming weeks. The starting price in the US will be
$129. In the UK, the device will go for £89. In India, the device will
be available through retailer
Flipkart for 6,999 Rs.
