Moto X : Review and First Look

Review

Moto E(white) 

Look/Feel : White is looking good and the finishing of Phone doesn't look like a 7K phone , it looks quite premium 

Handling : Since the phone is curved we can hold the phone in hand quite easily .

Android UI /Response : downloaded few gaming apps and tried the android 4.4.2, its silky smooth with this Hardware.Not much lag is observed . UI response is really good .

Camera : No Flash , don't expect a great pic from this 7K Phone .Average quality picture

Battery : with Wifi-enabled browsing / playing videos /Music/games for past 8 hrs still battery of 50% left.

Cons : Camera Flash could have been included .

Overall : Moto has finally understood the Indian market and released a Phone with right features at a very competitive price . 

Update after 20+ days of Usage :

Pros :

* Long lasting battery : 24 hrs+ with Wifi + Music + 2G/3G data + Avg Voice calls (2 hrs)

Good to really use a smart phone for a whole day without intermediate charging.

* Pure Android Kitkat UI is smoother and looks simple to use with no overloaded features.

* Moto Migrate, Moto Alert & Moto Assist are really handy & useful apps.

Regularly I use Moto assist, it sets my phone to silent mode during meeting - timing it grabs from my calender.

* Resolution is top notch HD Videos/ photos viewed gives us a rich feeling .

* Phone built has the premium feel and grabs lots of eyes.

Cons :

* Day time camera is good .low light camera is poor due to absence of Flash

* User removable battery should have been there.

*Internal memory space should been more.

Overall don't expect all the features supported in a INR 20K+ smartphone .

For the price we have paid it gives us a great android experience.

Its a best buy for the price we have paid. Moto E will be budget smartphone leader.
