Full Specs

The Moto G was rather a hit at around £139 only 6 months ago, now we're getting the Moto E for £89!

Don't hotlink images - Rilot

I need to get hold of one of these and pit it against the Moto G!

I personally think £90 for the unlocked single-(micro)SIM version is a rip-off: it's being sold in India for 7,000 rupees (equivalent of £70) for the unlocked dual-SIM version (albeit dual-standby rather than dual-active

Seriously?

Where is it being sold?

We need Andy to do a review.

I have the same question. Then hopefully I'll buy one and get some videos up

Thanks. It looks like it's available now then? I'll pop in to some shops tomorrow on my day off

Yeah, that's what I'm beginning to think. Maybe £60 is okay for someone really on a tight budget.

Video comparison...

smaller battery

I give you all the others, but I'm reasonably confident it will last a little longer than the Moto G, which in itself can last longer than 95% of Android devices out there.

[with regards to my assertion that £70 for the dual-SIM Moto E in India is a fair price, and £90 for the single-SIM in the UK is a rip-off.]

It's important to remember that that additional £20 is actually a 30% price premium. If a car cost £7,000 with five seats in India but a cut-down model for £9,000 with two seats was being sold in the UK, would you not feel a little cheesed-off?

No, not really.

Got to be honest, I didn't read much after this.

For starters, almost £20 of the £90 is tax... who knows how tax works in India, it's not really my concern.

Should things cost the same in every country in the world. No. Why would they?

I look forward to your reply in June.
