*Android** is the Operating system which majority of new smartphone buyers go for. I was also not an exception!
After I lost my Symbian Nokia E5 recently, I had set my mind for new Touch Android Smartphone.
*Price was issue** for me as after losing my previous mobile, I did not want to invest more than 7-8 thousand rupees on it.
I **wanted only **reputed companies** like the Sony Experia, Motorola, Nokia, Samsung etc. The market was going for the Kit Kat version of Android.Also preferred minimum dual core processor and 1 GB RAM.
Unfortunately, *the more was I trying to explore the things, more confusion erupted*. I even tried OLX for used smartphone and had final talks for Sony Ericsson Experia M dual SIM. The guy told me to wait for two days as he was outstation.
Meanwhile the ***Flipcart launched Moto e online with extraordinary specification for Rs 6999*** only. Without second thought I booked one as `Cash on Delivery`.
But, do not know why within one hour of booking I cancelled it thinking that I should have waited for the user reviews! Flipcart was `thankful` to me!
After two days I did not receive my used Sony ericsson Experia and I re-decided to book moto e after seeing many Youtube video reviews on Moto E.
However to my unpleasant surprise, I came to know that it was out of stock. In news I heard that **Flipcart was out of stock in 16 hours**!
*I needed a good smartphone.*
I went for OLX again and saw an advertisement for Moto E, brand new for additional Rs 500! I went to the shop 15 Km away and reached in minimum time. He had the last piece left. While I was paying for it, one more man reached there for the same set! How lucky I was! The mobile, while writing to you is still `out of stock`
THE BEAST OF PERFORMANCE IS HERE!
*LOOK & FEEL*
Easy to hold, though little heavier than any smartphone but look is elegant. The screen is more than 4` and its scratch and a bit water resistant.
*PERFORMANCE*
Booting is a bit slow but it was interesting to see the whole booting process first time! It`s being Google owned company, started asking for Google mail based initial registration. It was nice to see that the **set did not need any mobile setting from the operator for the GPRS**. Both the 3 G SIM got configured automatically without my active intervention.
Pre installed apps were ninety percent useful ones and for the rest of your requirements `Play Store was there! Will you believe me when I say that Play store downloaded the 60 MB Game file in less than one minute!
I downloaded some 400 MB games(for my daughter, Punya) in no time. Nice to observe that there was **no heat ups at the battery side**!
Performance for **Youtube** was very satisfying with HD videos with exceptional sound clarity. Even the provided Headphone is good.
*Google Voice Search** function was a delight to use with voice command.
The screen manuvouring was like butter smooth. It was very **easy to exit any apps**.
Battery back up is 24 hours minimum with a lot of 3G use including the YOUTUBE.
The 5 MP Camera has a unique function of **taking stills while on HDR Video record**. Absence of flash is hardly felt on this smartphone.
*Multitasking** is a breeze too! I have tested more than 10 apps including games, youtube, navigation at a time and all apps performed as if they were the only apps being operated.
Cons probably for me only!
I am yet to accustom myself on it`s QWERTY virtual pad. It has though `smart type` too, which I am yet to learn as no you tube tutorial is available!
I strongly admire this set.
Go . catch online, if you can, which I missed and paid Rs 500 extra!
