Moto E is a nice phone, and although I haven't tried Moto G in real life, it actually looks like it has slightly better build quality for some reason, and more compact, too (for the size). But for only $50 difference, Moto G seems the better choice. Maybe my expectations were unrealistic, but I actually thought they could manage to put this one at $99, especially once I saw a rumor that it will sell for $117 in India. Moto G also started at about 17 percent in India more than in US ($210), so I logically deduced in US it would be $99.<p><a href="http://indianexpress.com/article/technology/mobile-tabs/motorola-launches-moto-e-prices-it-at-rs-6999-makes-it-available-exclusively-on-flipkart/" rel="nofollow">http://indianexpress.com/article/technology/mobile-tabs/moto...</a><p>Moto G had a GREAT price at $179 ($210-$240 elsewhere), and why it became so popular in the first place. It doesn't quite look that Moto E has the same type of great price for what it offers. $99 would've been that great price that would've made everyone recommend it as the default choice for the price range.<p>If the rumor about the price in India was right, and it won't actually be more like $150 now there, then perhaps they are trying to have a more "global" price, where it's more or less the same price everywhere, even in US, and this way they'd make little profit on the global versions, but more profit in US.<p>As for the specs, I'm a little disappointed it comes with Cortex A5 instead of A7, but since it's clocked 200 mhz higher than Cortex A7 would be, maybe it's not too big of a problem, especially since they claim the general performance of the device is faster than a Galaxy S4 in many situations (like opening apps, which I think has more to do with their use of the F2FS file system, which ironically is made by Samsung, but they aren't using it themselves).<p>I also told my little brother if he'd want one of these, and he asked me if it has flash, and was disappointed to hear it does not. I think Motorola underestimated the importance of flash for this type of phone. The screen, size, internal storage+SD, I'm fine with. I'm just hoping that whenever Google launches Android 5.0 (hopefully this year), it will be upgraded to it.
