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.

The quad-core processor handles my apps well, the gorilla glass is a nice plus, and the size fits into my pocket well. I was glad it wasn't pre-loaded with a lot of bloatware! The sale price of $30 made it worthwhile if all it was used for was as a music player and wifi downloader.
