probably because your confused

I'll rephrase it, at the current Moto G price (3G) ~£110, the Moto E isn't such a bargain until it gets to around a £50-£60 price tag which is unlikely.

kona786 · 13 May 2014 at 21:55

I agree but for people that want a good cheap phone with minimal frills it will be just fine.

This will drop below £80 in no time.

I might be looking for a device that can do SkyGo and iPlayer, but also have the battery to survive 5 days in a field... this looks promising...

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

Motorola seems to be making a big play for Nokias old stamping ground, the high quality budget market. Fair play to them they are doing a great job!

+1. really nice phone they are .

Does it have FM Radio?

Yes, link in the first post gives you all the details.

Would have to be around £50 to even consider. The Moto G is far better value at £90.

AndyCr15 · 17 May 2014 at 08:00

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

Video comparison...

Good job.

lol that camera.

I bet photos are even worse than the G as well which aren't brilliant to begin with

Some sample photo's.

A bargain! shop's should eventually see a lower price too.

I'd still pay extra for the Moto G but if you don't need the bigger + better screen or flash this seems just as good.

+1 to that.

...And already £69 - http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/tesco-mobile-motorola-moto-e-black-69-with-code-1911325

There's not really anything wrong with it for £70 apart from the Moto G is just too good. It will probably take a chunk of Nokia 520 sales. I'm guessing that the decent front speaker is aimed at teens where it fits all round really. £70, fast enough and loud speaker.

For the price, I'd favour this over quite a few MP3 players with it having a micro SD slot and you have a ready backup phone if you need one.

Warp279 · 22 May 2014 at 23:29

Needs to be cheaper.. no flash, no autofocus, poor camera, poor screen, dual core, 4gb, smaller battery.

The viewing angles are just bad. Moto G screen is in another league.

Silly Goose On The Loose · 23 May 2014 at 00:34

From what Motorola were saying in their Hangout today, front-facing speakers are going to become the norm on their devices...

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.
