Motorola Moto E 2 (2015)

The Moto E (2015) is an updated version of Motorola's popular budget smartphone that has some noteworthy improvements. One is a new design, another is a larger screen, but the best is that it now includes 4G LTE for faster internet and video streaming...

Superb battery life ; Fun, customisable design ; Good build quality ; Bloatware-free and fast

Average cameras ; Screen could be better

Motorola Moto E (2015) review: The budget phone to beat

The original Motorola Moto E is an awesome budget smartphone, but largely because, at £89, it's so cheap. Its follow-up, the second-generation 2015 model, makes a few nips and tucks to the original's design principles, adds a slightly bigger screen and...

Better looking thanks to new colour accent ‘Bands’, Android Lollipop experience, ample processing power, improved battery life, adds a front camera, microSD

Still has one (rather than two) ugly metal bars on the front, non-removable battery, a bit too chunky in today’s market, poor camera experience

Just like the original, the Moto E is brilliant for the price. It's a little more expensive second time around, but the addition of 4G, a better battery, smoother Android experience, a slightly neater (although slightly larger) design, plus added...

Motorola Moto E 4G (2015) Review: In Depth

Packing Android Lollipop and 4G, the brand new Moto E is seriously great value at a shade over £100. Is it as good as last year's model?

Affordable ; 4G ; Decent budget screen ; Lollipop

Very basic camera

At £109, the Motorola Moto E offers impressive value for money and shaves a whole £50 off the price of the freshly-launched Moto G 4G. There are some sacrifices, of course: you don’t get the same sharp HD panel of the Moto G 4G and the camera is a...

Motorola Moto E 4G review

The new Moto E 4G is a worthy upgrade over the original Moto E, with upgrades in every area. For an extra £20 it adds 4G LTE connectivity and a front-facing camera, plus performance and storage improvements. It might not be as fast as the grey-market...

Motorola Moto E review

(Rating Hidden)

Hot on the heels of the hugely popular Motorola Moto G comes an even cheaper smartphone, the Moto E. The Moto E costs under £80 on a pay-as-you-go deal yet still lets you access millions of downloadable apps from Google's Play store. But can you get a...

Motorola Moto E (2nd Gen)

Motorola's second generation entry-level Android smartphone, the Moto E, may have flown under many radars, but it's well worth bookmarking for cost savvy users.

Well constructed compact design; Great battery life; 4G/LTE compatibility

Sub-par front facing camera; Screen a tad dull

For an entry level smartphone that ticks all the right boxes, the Moto E is certainly up there. The one area it may be lacking is in the camera department, but in all other areas in comes up tops, with very few devices out there on the same level as...
