Hi Guys,
Lets talk about the all new Moto E 2nd Generation – successor to 1st Gen Moto E.
Is it any good to its Predecessor…???
We are here find out..!!!
Prices Indian Rupees 6999, The new Moto E 2nd Gen is dual SIM smartphone which has a 4.5 inch 960×540 qHD resolution IPS display which is a bump from 4.3 inches on 1st Gen Moto E.
Though the resolution remains the same, meaning less pixels density i.e. 245 ppi as against 256 ppi on 1st Gen which is marginal. also the screen is protected by Cornings Gorilla Glass 3 for protection against scratches.
Built quality is sturdy as usual for any motorola device. but at 12.3 mm thick , this smartphone is not the thinnest one around.
Moto E 2nd Gen has a better Qualcomm Snapdragon Quad core 200 CPU clocked @ 1.2 GHz,
coupled with 1 GB RAM & Adreno 306 GPU with a speed of 400 MHz.
Internal storage is also increased from meagre 4GB to 8 GB which is great, and you also have the option to increase the storage using a microSD card slot upto 32 Gigabytes.
Talking about camera, it is an area of concern. it has 5 mp primary shooter with Auto-Focus but without LED Flash, there’s lot to be desired. though primary camera is capable of shooting 720p videos @30fps, quality was not that great.
The less we talk about the front 0.3 mp VGA camera, the better. it is as good as if it is not there.
The smartphone runs on Google’s latest stock Android Lollipop out-of-the-box :)) which is buttery smooth and bloatware free. it is the smooth user experience that makes this smartphone worth every rupee.
Among other features it has a notification light, USB OTG supported, FM Radio.
connectivity-wise it has WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, WiFi hotspot, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS, and microUSB 2.0

Conclusion :
