Product Review:
Pros:
> Build : Good, though back cover feels slippery. 4.7″ form factor is acceptable enough unless you are a big screen enthusiast.
> Camera : The real test here is low light sensitivity. And I found this phone towers over all devices I have used. Both front and rear cameras are excellent and the flash is strong. 3rd Best in this price segment.
> RAM : The available RAM being 1 GB (after MUI allowance) no problem is faced in playing heavier games like Asphalt. Multitasking is a pleasure.
> Battery : Charges quicker than other phones of same capacity on the same capacity charger.Also battery run down time is found much better.
> Sound output : Quite satisfactory, not too loud or too low. I wish in call clarity could be better.
> Memory management : The phone has in built memory management tool which works effectively in real time. You do not need to install any third party memory management or even security app. The apps cannot be moved to SD card which I wish would have been there. But the 16 GB (available 12.87 GB) takes care of further apps installation.
> Network : Both SIMS are 3g/4g compatible which is a big advantage. Network access speed is also satisfactory including WIFI.
> OTG support : It works.
> Display : Great with customisation support. Good viewing angle.
Cons:
> Heating : The heating issue is kept under real control, although some heating issue and consequent battery run down is there in playing graphic intensive games and surfing on 3g network (which is not unusual).

Product Review:
> Display : The device is a masterpiece with all the required features, one expects in today’s time.
> Screen : The Phone really proves it’s worth. The Screen is so vibrant that every time you look at it, it a new experience.
> User Interface : Talking about the App’s that are pre-installed, please do remove the ones that you feel are not required or else, disable them as possible. The Icons do give a feel of clarity and looks similar to iPhone.
> RAM : 2GB Ram does it’s work and does not allow any lags what so ever. The Phone comes with pre-installed Game Apps. I installed the Asphalt Airborne 8 and I am enjoying the game to the max.. with no lags whatsoever.
> There’s a pre-installed app to clear the RAM and CPU and it does prove to be efficient to release the Memory for re-use.
> Battery : Coming to battery, as was informed by Google that Android Kit-kat would be battery efficient, so it is.. On a pretty decent usage, with Calls, Emails, Playing Games and using other apps, I still have enough battery the next morning.
> Sound : Excellent Sound Quality earphone, speaker, Dolby feature is awesome.
> Camera : Good Front and rear camera, nice flash also.
> Heating : No heat, not much heating compare to other phones
5) Moto E (2nd Gen) 4G

> Wi-Fi Enabled Dual Sim (GSM + LTE)

Product Review:
> Phone software is lag-free
> User Interface : Pure Android Lollipop with GEL as the default launcher.
> Camera : Very good in terms of 5 MP, pictures are produced better with HDR turned on. HDR acts light night mode in low light shots. Front cam ok as is. Little grainy but ideal for video calls (not for selfies). Front camera is VGA but has nice colour reproduction and face gets well lit even in subdued light. Slo-Mo is an awesome addition (720p video shooting). Twist to capture very useful.
> Display : Moto active display wakes up with a slight nudge from the rounded edge or when you pick up the phone. Screen is bright enough with proper sunlight legibility and dim enough in a completely dark room to comfort your eyes! (Brightness and Dimness way better than old Moto E)
> Audio : Sound is clear and crisp in loudspeaker and also in calls.
> Build : Amazing rubberised finish with nice grip and flawless hardware buttons. Steel with textured finish on the buttons made me fall in love with Moto! Band covering the sim slots is sturdy.
> Battery : Easily lasted a whole day at office with lots of calling and fiddling (me internet is always ON in Vodafone 3G)
