Motorola Moto E (2015) Review

XT1527 (XT1527)     See other variants reviews Score: 63.5 / 100

Motorola Moto E (2015) is a high quality cellphone launched many years ago, equipped with a high-tech 64 bit Quad-Core processor speeding at 1200 MHz, a 4.5-inches multi touch screen, a 5 mega-pixels back side camera and a 0.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera.

The is a compact phone, taking into consideration it features a 4.5" display and it's just 5.11" long. This phone is sold in 2 colors, black and white. Motorola didn't seem to put much effort to reduce weight in this 5.11 ounces device.

This phone comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 8916 system chip, including an extremely powerful 64-bit Quad-Core processor ticking at 1.2 GHz with only 1 GB of RAM memory which is a little poor for such a great device. Graphic calculations often uses lots of CPU cycles, so this cellphone counts with an extra Adreno 306 graphic processing unit ticking at 450 megahertz to take some work out of the CPU. A nice advantage of this phone is its 8 GB quite big internal storage and a slot for an SD memory card, enough to install hundreds of apps without running out of space.

This phone has a interesting 960 x 540 4.5 inches screen, which makes everything look vivid. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and is multi-touch enabled.

The features two cameras, a 5 megapixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera. This cellphone can also capture 1280x720 HD videos at 30 frames per second. This camera also includes a few nice characteristics: auto-focus, HDR mode, fast burst mode and geo tagging.

The packs a 2390 mAh big capacity battery that can keep this phone running for many hours, although you may need to charge it if you use it too much.

The Motorola Moto E (2015) includes wi-fi connectivity (but it can't be shared with other devices around, acting as a wireless router), 4G (LTE) fast data connection and 3G fast data connection, using HSPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone works with a Micro SIM card for GSM services.

The also features some cool features as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Navigation, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

The Motorola Moto E (2015) is not a good choice considering it costs 290 dollars, while other similar phones are being sold for much less than that. No matter if you want a device for work, want a gaming cellphone, love photography or will use it as a social phone, this device is very appropiate for you.
