Moto E: 5 reasons you shouldn’t buy it:

Moto E is undoubtedly the best phone available in the price range. But just like every other phone even Moto E has its demerits.  And that can be ignored for some users.

So let’s discuss some of the demerits of the device.

1.     Lack of big screen :

The phone trends now days are moving towards large screen phones and Moto E is definitely not for those who are used to big screen phones and like to watch movies and videos on phone. Even though 4.3inch screen size might be ideal for some users but don’t buy Moto E if you prefer large screen phone.

2.     No hands on Experience :

Moto E is available only on Flipkart which makes it difficult to get hands-on before the purchase unless someone who has bought before you. So you will only experience the device when it gets delivers to you.An option that not everyone is comfortable with nowadays.

3.     Give a pass to device if you want a good camera and LED flash :

To be very honest Moto E has got a below average camera and very poor image quality. It has no auto focus and sensor is so bad that we don’t get proper image even in good lighting conditions and also it misses out LED flash. The colour reproduction on the device is not good and it’s nowhere compared to Moto G camera. This is just a negative aspect for the people who are looking for a decent camera on budget phone.

4.     Give a pass if you want a front facing camera :

Selfies trend is going on widely around the world and with the absence of a front facing camera you will be missing out of the opportunity and you won’t be able to use the apps like Skype and hangouts. If you are selfie addict then find some other device.

5.     Give a pass if u want to play graphically intensive games :

The gaming aspect also lacks on the device. The light games will work fine on the device but the screen resolution and specifications doesn’t really fit to play high end games. There are constant lags in most games and smooth gaming performance isn’t possible on the device. The phone is not made for intensive gaming but only for light tasks.

Moto E is kind of like a replacement for bare bones phone, capable of just enough power to text and place calls.
