Measuring 129.9x66.8x12.3mm, the Moto E2 feels little heavy, yet rugged in hand. The major portion of the front has been occupied by the 4.5-inch qHD display with 960x540 pixels resolution at 245ppi. In comparison to rival smartphones available in similar price bracket, it sounds average. But in real-life use, the screen doesn't depress you unless you're a movie addict. The display tops with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for added protection. Additionally, Moto E2 has a water resistant coating too. IBTimes India
Motorola remained wise while picking the materials for the Moto E2. The rubberised curvy back fits nicely onto the palm. The matte finish doesn't also grab oils, dirt, smudges or even fingerprints. Moto E features the 5-megapixel rear camera on the back but sacrifices the required LED flash. IBTimes India

Well, the biggest USP of Moto E2 is that it offers Android 5.0.2 Lollipop out of the box. Motorola kept the interface quite simple which feels like using a Nexus interface.

The 5-megapixel camera focuses quickly on the subject and snaps it instantly. The back camera images are usable for social media sharing. The front camera is a VGA one and not ideal for clicking great quality selfies, but stands well in video calling segment. IBTimes India
