The Moto E is by far the best entry level Android phone I've ever used. I've used almost nothing but flag ship phones for a while, and then bought several budget Windows phones. For years these were the budget phones to buy as Windows ran so much better on entry level hardware, and Android was much more 'hit or miss' with an emphasis on the miss, especially in entry level. The Moto E is the first budget Android device that felt like it performed well enough for daily use. It has a good feel in hand, and made of a textured plastic. The Snapdragon 410 is a great chipset for this phone. It performs extremely well here, even hampered by 1GB of RAM. This phone would most likely be unstoppable with 2GB, but such is life. The screen is lower resolution (qHD), and even though the screen is smaller than most (4.5"), you can definitely tell it isn't HD. If they could have squeezed in 720p at this size, it would have been amazing. That said, the pixel density is actually pretty good, at 245ppi. The largest downside to this device is definitely the camera. At 5MP with no flash it takes pictures that make my 4 year old Galaxy Nexus look like a DSLR in comparison (and the GNexus had a bad camera). Medium to low light scenarios are noisy, blurry, and generally bad looking. Bright light shots are passable, but nothing to write home about. The front facing camera is in the same boat, only magnified at only VGA resolution. That said, that this price point, having a front facing for skype or otherwise is great. Motorola's software is impeccable. This is nearly pure Android 5.1 Lollipop, and that's a good thing. The play store is here, and you can even disable multiple the inevitable carrier apps (AT&T junk). There are a few add ins, and the camera app is much better than google's stock camera app. Many people are up in arms about this phone not getting Marshmallow, which is still an unknown, but lollipop runs very well on here. The included charger is very weak and takes a long time to charge the device. If you have a 1 or 2 amp charger sitting around, use that instead of the moto charger as it does charge it faster. The battery life is excellent. With a power sipping screen, CPU, and efficient LTE chipset you can easily get 2 days of battery with moderate use (2400mah). Overall the device is great at this price point. I'd consider a Moto G or X if you want a larger screen and more performance. But if you need a workable device under $100, this will do it easily. I have no reservation recommending this!
