Moto Cheap. The affordable Moto E3 is an entry-level smartphone with a water-resistant finish and relatively large battery. The budget of 130 Euros (~$140, RRP) is quite tight but Lenovo is a specialist in offering a lot of smartphone for little money...

The Moto E3 isn’t a bad phone, but it’s hamstrung by terrible performance, a frustrating Android experience, and the proposed lack of future software updates. A shame, since it has a decent screen and offers great standby time.

Lenovo Moto E4
It seems like these days larger manufacturers are either buying up stagnating manufacturers or even trading them wholesale among themselves to the point that some known brands are starting to lose its meaning. This also means less and less difference to the actual top tiers in certain markets such as the android smartphone market in younger days. One such phone which is setting that standard is the Lenovo Moto E4, which is generally designed for entry level users. It sports a Mediatek MT6737 SoC with 2 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage, which is pretty much standard for the segment this phone is targeting. One of the markedly few features one would least expect is that the Lenovo Moto E4 is preloaded with Android 7 Nougat since normally the latest version of Android tends to be reserved for flagships only. Along with that users are treated with a fingerprint sensor for security. Please note: Usually fingerprint readers tend to be a luxury feature in this segment. Some other features or perhaps functionality which flagships tend to lack these days is the inclusion of a removable battery, which is a rarity these days; especially in top tier phones. It makes one wonder: Is budget the new midrange or has the over-fragmentation of android devices finally produced some adverse benefits? Usually when it comes to the budget segment the chassis construction and material choice isn’t worth the discussion but in actuality based on region the Lenovo Moto E4 has either an all plastic model or an all metal design. Overall the phone has reasonable rigidity to curb those accidental drops. Taking a look at its display does somewhat solidify that despite the premium like features it is still a budget phone with just a resolution of 720p. This is either hardly great or just about disappointing. That being said, users should tune their expectations within reason. Despite its resolution the display remains sharp, vibrant and crisp for your viewing. Moving over to its camera the Lenovo Moto E4 camera interface is actually quite clean and simple for navigation and is quite a quick snapper which should be the way camera apps should be before manufacturers started tacking on way too much features causing most camera apps to be bogged down these days. The camera is of the 8-megapixel kind which isn’t too shabby. It also has a single LED flash. Overall the pictures quality is just about fine, nothing too great or underwhelming, although it should be noted that zooming is highly discouraged as software zoom only makes the picture experience disappointing. While the camera itself is quite alright, its color reproduction or accuracy tends to be all over the place. Take away from this is the included camera has its ups and downs. This can also be said about its front facing 5-megapixel camera. Naturally battery life is a topic of concern. As this isn’t your usual power guzzling flagship the Lenovo Moto E4 actually had no problems lasting a full day with general real-world usages and could possibly even stretch out to two days if the user is a light user. If you’re on a tight budget, but still want some features included with a fraction of the price, the Lenovo Moto E4 is the way to go. With Moto’s track record users might even be assured an upgrade path to Android O when it releases. Hands-on article by Jagadisa RajarathnamSpecifications

Removable. In this case we mean it in a positive way, since the battery can be removed in the Moto E4. The smartphone is also quite affordable and offers a fingerprint sensor. You can find out in the test whether the competition needs to brace for this.

Moto E4 brings many improvements compared to its predecessor but at the same time has kept its low price. The device comes with renewed design which although makes its body slightly heavier and with a thicker profile, it certainly gives the feeling of a more elegant model. Moreover, you are also presented with а fingerprint sensor. We also enjoyed the presence of two SIM slots and a separate microSD slot.

All that said, the phones work amazingly well. Effectively the hardware in the devices is similar to what flagship phones had about 3 to 4 years ago. Using the phones invoked in me a bit of a sense of time travel as if I had gone back in time and grabbed a smartphone off the shelf. However, buyers today get the benefit of improvements to the Android operating system as well as app developers continuing to streamline and optimize their apps. So although the hardware may feel like a bit of a step back in time, actual operation of the phones leans toward a much smoother, snappier experience.

The Moto E4 delivers solid value for money, coming in cheaper than pretty much any other mobile by a well-known manufacturer. Despite that low asking price you still get HD visuals, a neat metal design, dependable battery life and performance that isn’t frustrating, making this a great choice for students, festival goers and anyone else hunting for an affordable device.

As far as $249 smartphones go, the Moto E4 is hard to beat. Sure, some corners have been undeniably cut. However, where it counts the experience is a whole lot better and smoother than a lot of what else is out there. Additional inclusions like a fingerprint sensor and support for Nougat’s Google Assistant contribute to making the E4 feel a whole lot more expensive than it actually is.

The Moto E4 is cheap at $249, and can be found in a number of places including JB HiFi, Harvey Norman, Good Guys, Officeworks, and online from www.motorola.com.au. At that price, you’re hard pressed to buy something locally that offers better value.

Overall I really like the new Moto E4. It’s not a specification beast like some phones, but at the end of the day, you generally won’t feel left wanting. And you’ll still have almost enough to pay next month’s rent, to boot!

This is the sort of smartphone that a person gets when they’ve never used a smartphone before. Or if they’ve only used a Windows Phone device before – or an iPhone 4 or older. If a person has a smartphone they’ve used for the past 6 years and they don’t want to switch to anything fancy, they just want another phone that works and doesn’t have a cracked screen – this is that phone.

If you have more money to play with, the $230 Moto G5 Plus has a better camera and longer battery life with a more impressive display. (And Amazon Prime members can get that phone for less than $200 if they don’t mind ads popping up on their lockscreen.) Still, with its bright display, updated Android and decent enough-camera, the Moto E4 is a solid device that’s better than any sub-$100 phone has a right to be.

For $130 unlocked (and $70 on Verizon), the Motorola Moto E4 is solid phone for a reasonable price. The Blu R1 HD will cost you a bit less, but it's not quite as fast and runs an old version of Android, not to mention it doesn't have dual-band Wi-Fi or a removable battery. The same goes for the Alcatel A30. Motorola's own G5 Plus is a good alternative if you want a big performance boost across the board, but it also costs more than twice the price of the Moto E4. For its combination of price and performance, the Moto E4 can't be beat, and earns our Editors' Choice.

Lenovo Moto E4 Plus
The Moto E4 Plus is one of the many smartphones aimed at dominating the low end of the smartphone market. Motorola played a leading role in this segment in the past few years. The ever-American company has run several product lines that consisted of good, cheap smartphones. With an affordable smartphone, one usually expects a cheaper, normally plastic, design. Lenovo, however, surprised everyone by giving devices a metal housing. Due to its neat finish, the E4 Plus feels solid and stylish. The handsets will be available in Iron Grey, Blush Gold, and Oxford Blue color options. The Moto E4 Plus is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 427 processor and 2GB of memory, and it comes with 16GB or 32GB of storage with microSD support. It is powerful enough to run Android and multitask. Apps start up pretty fast, although performance is logically less smooth than with a flagship. For example, it will take a while for the user to see if the camera appears. The fingerprint scanner underneath the screen is smooth and accurate. The Moto E4 Plus packs a 5.5-inch HD (1280 x 720 pixels) display. The brightness of the display is good - even in bright sunlight, the display can still be read. On the rear of this device is a 13-megapixel camera that takes surprisingly detailed photos. In situations with sufficient light, the device delivers sharp, beautiful pictures. Insufficient lighting will result in bluriness. Also, the viewing angles are limited.
Software has always been the strongest point of Motorola devices. For years, users have been able to count on the latest version of Android in an almost untouched form. Stock Android looks clean, but at the same time, it has all of the essential Android applications. Lenovo has also minimized the number of additions. There is a Moto app, which allows the user to set certain gestures or customize the always-on display. The camera app has some extra options such as a beauty filter. The 5000mAh battery is one of the largest and, frankly, most daring we have seen in years. With average use, we effortlessly used the phone for two days without charging. If you are extra economical, you can add another day. That makes the Moto E4 Plus perfect for people looking for a simple device for parents or other relatives who hardly use their smartphone, but forget to charge it. The battery is charged via micro-USB. Although more and more devices are switching to USB-C, Lenovo chose the older connection. Unfortunately, support for Quick Charge is also missing, which would be especially important considering the long charging times of the powerful Moto E4 Plus. It is expected to be somewhere around 3 to 4 hours for a full charge. With its very reasonable price, good specs and large battery, the Moto E4 Plus is definitely an appealing mid-range phone.

Simple addition. More battery, more RAM, more display - Motorola really means the "Plus" in its Moto E4 Plus. Find out whether these positive aspects outweigh the rather low system performance in our review.

It’s an E4 with a bigger battery and a comparatively low-res screen. This budget bargain runs for two days.

All that said, the phones work amazingly well. Effectively the hardware in the devices is similar to what flagship phones had about 3 to 4 years ago. Using the phones invoked in me a bit of a sense of time travel as if I had gone back in time and grabbed a smartphone off the shelf. However, buyers today get the benefit of improvements to the Android operating system as well as app developers continuing to streamline and optimize their apps. So although the hardware may feel like a bit of a step back in time, actual operation of the phones leans toward a much smoother, snappier experience.

If you’re looking for a decent performing budget phone with massive battery life then the Moto e4 Plus is an excellent choice. If camera performance is more important then look elsewhere. If you’re just looking for a basic, decent performing smartphone in general, then this is a good choice. Keep in mind there are lockscreen ads and added Amazon apps you cannot delete.

If you need a phone that rarely sleeps, the Moto E4 Plus’s incredible battery life is hard to pass up, especially for less than $200. The device’s display, camera and performance aren’t the best you can get, not even in a budget phone, but they’re good enough if a lower price tag is more important to you than cutting edge-features.

For a budget phone, the Moto E4 Plus looks and feels pretty good at emulating a premium phone. Sure, it doesn’t have spectacular features and remains a basic phone at best, but if you’re looking for a phone that will help you last for more than a day, the Moto E4 Plus has enough battery life to help you do so.

Overall, the Moto Z2 Force Edition is a solid Android smartphone at a price less than the flagships. There are other compelling smartphones at the same or lower price so you really have to like using one or two Moto Mods to justify the Z2 Force Edition.

The Moto E4 Plus is our low-end battery champ, beating beefy competitors like the LG X Power on endurance. But the added cost of the big battery puts the E4 Plus in a slightly awkward place. At $180 unlocked (or even at $130 on a carrier), it comes very close to the $185 Amazon Prime subsidized entry-level price for the Moto G5 Plus, which has a noticeably better screen and faster processor.

To wrap up, the Moto E4 Plus comes with a metal build, boast some decent cameras and the 5000mAh battery surely looks tempting. On the downside, the phone is powered by an old processor which might affect its overall performance. As for the competition is concerned, the smartphone will compete against, Xiaomi Redmi 4, Lenovo K6 Power, Coolpad Note 5, and Xiaomi Redmi 4.

It's a tough job to criticize a $180 handset. The Moto E4 Plus' display is certainly not perfect, its camera leaves a lot to be desired, its performance is only good for basic smartphone tasks. But one can justifiably argue that for this price, the Moto E4 does a good job as a basic smartphone.

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

73.69%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
