But owners can upgrade the Blu to the same amount of memory and storage as the iPhone for only about ten dollars or so.īoth phones have a five-megapixel camera for selfies but the iPhone has a 12-megapixel camera in front compared to an eight-megapixel front camera for the Blu. The iPhone has twice as much RAM, 2 Gb compared to 1 Gb in the Blu, and 16 Gb of storage compared to 8 Gb in the Blu. Meanwhile the iPhone uses a 1.85 GHz dual-core processor of Apple’s design. The Blu phone uses a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor from Mediatek in Taiwan. Some of the more notable differences are the processors, memory, and cameras. It is interesting to make a few basic comparisons with the iPhone 6S. With high-end phones like the iPhone going for somewhere north of $600, you might wonder what you get in a phone selling for less than one-sixth that amount. The media splash arose because Amazon Prime members could get the phone for as little as $50 if they were willing to put up with seeing ads on the phone’s lock screen.

For $100, I am satisfied.The online retailer Amazon made headlines when it introduced a super-inexpensive smart phone from Blu Products in Miami called the R1 HD. On average, I make 1-2 phone calls a week, so the Moto e4 far exceeds my basic requirements. I'm going to watch space utilization before taking any action, as the instability is inconvenient, but not disruptive.

It is using 8.83 gb of internal storage, and 3.93 external, for 12.75 gb total, so in theory it would still have sufficient free space if I removed the card.

This instability has been confirmed by Motorola support, and the 'fix' is to remove the memory card. The only problem I have had is that with a memory card installed (in order to offload as much as possible to external storage) it's unstable, and reboots frequently when it's not plugged in or in motion, such as on my body.

I don't play games on phones, and performance is excellent - better than either of my Android tablets. Voice quality on calls is better than expected. The camera is 'OK' but I knew that going in. Battery life is better than expected (>24 hours on standby). I bought an unlocked GSM Moto e4 ~6 weeks ago for $100 from Walmart. (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.

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. If battery life is important to you, the Moto E4 isn’t the best option. The G5 Plus, Blu R1 Plus and ZTE Max XL all last significantly longer - so does the average smartphone at 9 hours and 37 minutes. The 2,800mAh removable battery lasted just 6 hours and 42 minutes when we put it through the Tom’s Guide Battery Test (continuous web-surfing over Verizon 4G LTE). The side-scroller Badland fared much better with no lag or glitches, so if lightweight games are more your speed, the Moto E4 isn’t bad.īattery life is also not the E4’s strong suit. After a few minutes of gameplay, the phone became uncomfortably warm, as the popular shooter turned the E4 into a phone-shaped Hot Pocket. Modern Combat 5 was a poor experience - the frame rate lagged and the graphics stuttered. Then again, with 2GB of RAM and Qualcomm’s low-end mobile processor, you wouldn’t expect a powerhouse in the Moto E4.Īnd that’s apparent when you try to play a graphically demanding game on this phone. Shell out an extra $100 and you can get the Moto G5 Plus, which at 3,746 doubles the E4’s score. Modern Combat 5 turned the Moto E4 into a phone-shaped Hot Pocket. That’s in line with other budget phones - slightly higher than the Blu R1 Plus(1,583) but lower than the ZTE Max XL(1,865). The E4 scored 1,711 on the Geekbench 4 test of overall system performance. Where a $100-or-so phone would naturally fall short is processing power, and the Moto E4 doesn’t buck that exception. And it’s well ahead of the 433-nit average for smartphones. While not as bright as the similarly priced ZTE Max XL (560 nits), it’s much better than the 364 nits we measured on the Blu R1 Plus, another budget option. With an average brightness of 503 nits, videos and games are bright and clear on the E4’s display.
