Earlier products of the firm constantly proved that the game-play is quite an acceptable with a great productivity in the results.

New release from Moto managed to bind the right combo of hardware and software which resulted in an output of a good handset. Available only in Flipkart with a competitive price of Rs.7999, Moto E3 manages to set its mark in the budget smartphone segment.
Physical Overview:
Moto E3 sports a very promising built quality with a stylish design and looks. Good plastic quality, round edges and the metal frame included in the shape give the looks of a premium smartphone. In spite of the Lenovo Acquisition, Moto’s traditional logo ‘M’ remained on the rear panel of the smartphone. The elegant textured finish ensures a perfect grip on the gadget. Apart from the looks, the design also offers a better in hand experience.
Discussing the features, Moto E3 exterior profile houses volume rocker keys and power button on the right edge. On the top edge, the 3.5 mm jack slot is provided, and a charging slot is positioned at the bottom. Audio out speakers is adjusted on the above and below the screen which the bottom speaker also acts the microphone.
Removable battery and two SIM slots provided on the rear inside the panel, adds a great out view to the mobile. The 5-inched phone measures an acceptable dimension of 71.6×143.8×9.55 mm, while a weight of 153 grams remained as an issue what Motorola phones usually faces. On the top notch, a water repellent Nano-coating protects the phone from small water exposures like a spill, splash, and little rain. However, Motorola haven’t mentioned that the product is waterproof, so it can’t be submerged in water.
Specs Review:
The mid-range mobile from Motorola featuring 5-inch LCD, offer IPS HD display with a pixel resolution of 720 x 1280 which roughly translates into 234 pixels per image. The display is bright and sharp with good viewing angles along with screen which has a decent durability. It comes with an adaptive brightness feature which optimize according to the available light. The screen also has a decent visibility even in the sunlight. Smooth and very responsive touch functioning ensures operating experience to be fun.
Moto E3 is powered by a 64-bit quad-core MediaTek MT6735P processor clocks at 1 GHz which is quite an old one and no present day smartphone makers prefers it. As we mentioned above, Motorola believed in the philosophy to serve what is useful rather than overloading the specs which just limits to a specs sheet. The handset equipped with a Mali T 720 Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) for a better quality graphics and enhances the experience of high graphic gaming.
The device lagged a bit concerning internal storage and a larger RAM. Moto E3 rolls out with a 16 GB internal memory and can be expandable up to 32GB, which is a bit small when compared to other smartphones.
Memory
Coming to RAM, the device houses only 2 GB of RAM which also leads to disappointment of the customer. Smaller RAM capacity also made a way to some lag issues while gaming and failed to perform up to the mark in handling it. Excluding gaming, the phone doesn’t have any noticeable lag issues and quite good at speed while launching the apps.
Moto E3 power smartphone runs on Android 6.0.1 operating system Marshmallow. The User Interface is clean and very responsive which impresses the user a lot. The smartphone supports USB ‘OTG’ option which enables users to plug in micro USB and access files directly without transferring data to the phone. You can also use this option as a backup storage to view stuff like movies outside.
On entertainment font, Speaker out is not bad and produces a loud and clear audio which serves the purpose very effectively. However, the earphone output is much more impressive and satisfies the audio lovers.
Battery
Battery department is at its best with 3500 mAh battery along with the option of fast charge. The phone survives for more than a day on light to average usage. The device serves up to 5 hours of power with just 15 minutes of charge when charged with the bundled charger provided in the box.
Enabled Dual SIM option ensures you best connectivity along with the other options in the department. Apart from the regular connectivity means like Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS, 3G and 4G, a reasonably decent sensor range arranged in the panel. Proximity sensor, accelerometer, and ambient light sensor offer their best without any hassle.
Magnetic field sensor was missing which means applications like maps would not be able to know about your compass orientation in the absence of mobile data. The fingerprint sensor is found missing too as most the budget smartphones are getting these days.
Camera:
Moto E3 Flaunts an 8 Mega pixel primary camera which supports f/2.2 aperture. And also with LED flash that performs well at Imaging Duties in its range. Focus and camera app launch speed is fair with good quality of photos. Photos clicked on a pleasant daylight come out well with accurate colors.
A 5 MP Selfie camera is positioned on the front panel which comes with a beautification mode. And also enhances selfies smoothening skin and reducing flaws. The beautification level provided is adjustable on a scale of 1 to 7. You cannot expect an excellent quality with this 5MP camera. But it is acceptable to generate your own selfies to post on social media.
The rear camera enables a video recording of 720p which are average at its best. But sadly, it doesn’t support slow-motion and time-lapse videos.
