Motorola set a new benchmark for the budget smartphone with the Moto G but has gone even lower on price with the Moto E. Although we’re impressed with the Moto E which will make a great first or spare smartphone, it’s worth paying the extra for the Moto G which is now £99 on PAYG.

You might have come to our Motorola Moto G vs Motorola Moto E comparison review wondering why on earth we are comparing the specifications of two smartphones from the same company with a £60 price difference; clearly the more expensive Motorola Moto G is going to best the £89 Moto E on the hardware front. Actually, what we’ve learned is that although the Motorola Moto G has the better specification, the Moto E’s hardware is sufficient that it will be a great fit for many users – and especially so when you consider that those in the market for a budget smartphone don’t expect to get ultimate performance. The Motorola Moto E might not have as good a screen or as much storage or processing- and graphics power as the Moto G, nor its support for 4G and microSD expansion. But it does do everything most people will require, and at a staggeringly good price. It truly looks to be the best budget smartphone money can buy.

There is little to choose between the Moto E and the Lumia 520. Indeed, the chief thing to note is that these are both great handsets at a remarkably low price. The Lumia 520 is thinner and lighter, and comes in multiple colours. The Moto E is marginally cheaper and more powerful. And it has a bigger, better display. You will make your own choice, but for us the combination of that display and the greater flexibility of Android makes us choose the Moto E.

The Motorola ‘no bloat, no big ego’ approach to phone design continues with the Motorola Moto E’s software. It uses an almost untouched version of the latest edition of Android, 4.4.2, and Motorola promises it will get an update to the next major version of the system.

The Motorola Moto E has a very basic camera get-up. There’s no front-facing camera and no rear flash. This means no selfies, no video chat and any photos you take at poorly-lit parties will probably look dreadful.

The Motorola Moto E has a crafty speaker. It’s mono, but unlike the vast majority of mono mobile speakers, it sits on the front rather than the back.
