Motorola Moto E Verizon LTE Prepaid

I'm a big fan of the Motorola Moto E product line. I own both the 1st Gen (2014) and the 2nd Gen (2015). This review is about the latter. This phone runs Android 5.1 Lollipop. It has 8 GB internal storage with 5 GB available. You can use a microSD card for additional storage. The home screens are adjustable - you can add or remove home screens. The Google Now Launcher app will automatically make one of the home screens a place for easy access to your Google Now cards (weather, news, and other things you might find useful - just swipe right). The 1st Gen Moto E has a LED light that instantly lets you know when you have notifications. This phone does NOT. Instead, the Moto app allows you to adjust how you are notified, which is a discreet short icon from the app notifying you. Between the processor, 1 GB RAM and 8 GB ROM, this phone is fast and can handle quite a bit. I run a wide variety of social networking, Google and game apps and it works wonderfully. There isn't much bloatware on the Verizon Moto E compared to other competitors. You can uninstall some of them and easily disable NFL Mobile and VZ Navigator if you desire. If you are looking for an affordable 8 GB Android phone - this is the one you want.

I can't say enough good things about this phone. It's the editors pick on pcmagazine.com and really performs great. This is a Verizon prepaid phone & was on sale at Walmart.com for $25 and sold at other stores for $150 +. This is the 2nd generation which has 4 G capabilities. I did a lot of research before I purchased this phone I wanted the best smart phone for the cheapest price (not cheap quality). I couldn't afford an iPhone but wanted something similar. I was reluctant to purchase a Motorolla brand because I felt it was inferior to the other newer brands but I'm glad I listened to the reviews! I wasn't expecting it to perform as good or be this nice since I didn't purchase a $500 dollar phone but I feel it is as nice as any. This is as nice as my Apple iPad but it's android and is preloaded with google apps (docs, play, gmail, hangouts, chrome, etc.) this is convenient for students and ppl who use these programs. The only issue is is has 8 gigs of internal memory and only accepts up to a 32 gig mini card so that is seperate. and I wanted a cell phone carrier with a cheap plan that offered small amounts of data like 1 gig or none because I have great wifi (Verizon) and work at a place with wifi For my area and based on coverage Verizon had what I needed. I also liked the fact that because I was already a customer I could switch from prepaid to monthly payments. I pay $30 for unlimited talk and text with no data but when I switch to monthly I'll have the same plan and price that includes 1 gig.
