1
00:00:00,359 --> 00:00:06,520
it's on Enthusiast Hardware where we first see the innovations that trickle

2
00:00:04,799 --> 00:00:11,440
down to the mainstream stuff a couple of years later so there's usually a whole

3
00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:16,480
lot more for me to say about a piece of high-end gear than a value one but once

4
00:00:14,759 --> 00:00:21,519
in a while it's helpful to come back down to earth and find out just how much

5
00:00:19,119 --> 00:00:26,320
the value customer gives up compared to the Enthusiast customer so welcome to a

6
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:33,410
bit of a new style video for me I'm calling it a micro review about the

7
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:38,409
Motorola Moto e25 4G

8
00:00:40,640 --> 00:00:46,199
variant of course our h8i GT and h100i

9
00:00:44,239 --> 00:00:51,039
GTX all-in-one liquid coolers improve both the appearance and cooling of your

10
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,760
PC click my face or this spot or this

11
00:00:51,039 --> 00:00:58,600
spot how many annotations can he make Nick do to learn

12
00:00:55,039 --> 00:01:00,559
more since this is a micro video there's

13
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:04,159
no time to waste so let's get right into it this little guy is an entry-level

14
00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:09,560
smartphone whose killer feature is right in the name 4G connectivity but it gets

15
00:01:07,479 --> 00:01:14,759
some other upgrades as well compared to the 2014 model the processor has been

16
00:01:11,960 --> 00:01:20,040
boosted to a Snapdragon 410 RAM holds steady at 1 GB storage gets bumped from

17
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:24,920
4 to 8 gigs with the same micro SD expansion the battery capacity jumps 20%

18
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:31,320
to 2390 milliamp hours and the screen jumps from a 540 by 960 pixel 4.3 inch

19
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:35,240
display to an okay the resolution stayed the same and it only got bumped to 4

20
00:01:33,159 --> 00:01:40,479
and2 in but size ain't the only important thing here folks the new

21
00:01:37,479 --> 00:01:42,560
display is an IPS panel it's not the

22
00:01:40,479 --> 00:01:47,600
best I've seen and whites have a yellow or even slightly orange cast and blues

23
00:01:44,799 --> 00:01:53,159
are oversaturated but it's a heck of a lot better than TN so yay joining that

24
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:57,880
at the front of the phone is a 640x480 selfie cam a speaker that pulls triple

25
00:01:55,600 --> 00:02:01,680
Duty as the headset speaker an unexceptional loudspeaker and a great

26
00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:06,680
little storage Nook for pocket lint and other random crap and that's about it

27
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:13,080
the buttons are on screen at the back is the camera for 5 megapixel Stills in

28
00:02:08,959 --> 00:02:15,319
720p 30fps video that stunningly doesn't

29
00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:19,599
include an LED flash I mean seriously how much more would that have cost then

30
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:24,879
around the edges of the removable rubbery feeling ring are the micro USB

31
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:28,920
charging port satisfying feeling volume and lock buttons and a headphone jack

32
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:34,239
then you can pull that baby off if you want to get a different color one or

33
00:02:30,920 --> 00:02:35,920
access the micro SD and Sim slots 3G

34
00:02:34,239 --> 00:02:42,040
version users will actually find two slim Sim slim Sim slots in here so let's

35
00:02:39,760 --> 00:02:47,440
talk about using this thing the screen is noticeably non-retina uh it's pretty

36
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:51,840
slow uh Android 5.0 Lollipop in spite of its non bloated basically vanilla

37
00:02:49,879 --> 00:02:56,040
implementation other than some little stuff like the handy notification glance

38
00:02:53,959 --> 00:03:00,280
feature that I love on the Droid Turbo cannot save it compared to older

39
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:05,760
Hardware something like an iPhone 4 or 4S nonp power users might not be

40
00:03:03,159 --> 00:03:09,760
bothered but on occasion I found myself putting the phone aside to do something

41
00:03:08,239 --> 00:03:13,720
else while I wait for something which is never a good sign which isn't to say

42
00:03:11,799 --> 00:03:18,519
that the whole experience is terrible the phone feels really solid and the

43
00:03:16,040 --> 00:03:24,560
ergonomics are mostly good with more grip on the back being my only real

44
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:26,599
request 2.4 only gigahertz Wi-Fi is a

45
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:31,599
bit of a drag but the good news is that my bell LTE connection is significantly

46
00:03:29,319 --> 00:03:36,080
faster than in my landline which the 2.4 GHz connection could saturate anyway and

47
00:03:33,640 --> 00:03:40,319
I have lots of data so there's that battery life was a really strong point I

48
00:03:38,239 --> 00:03:46,319
was expecting going from a 4,000 milliamp phone the Droid Turbo to a

49
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:48,120
2000ish milliamp battery would bother me

50
00:03:46,319 --> 00:03:52,920
but the lower power Hardware in here allows it to easily make it through my

51
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:57,680
most demanding days with plenty of battery to spare which leads to the

52
00:03:55,239 --> 00:04:02,200
micro conclusion of this micro video the camera is not as bad as I expected

53
00:03:59,799 --> 00:04:07,120
indecent light but the lack of a flash means that poor lighting conditions will

54
00:04:04,040 --> 00:04:08,840
come often and while at $20 more than

55
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:13,640
the original Moto E it doesn't feel quite like a direct replacement given

56
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:18,239
how much has improved you're getting a great value for your extra 20 bucks with

57
00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:23,800
the most notable bits being for me the IPS display the improved battery life

58
00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:25,479
and of course LTE connectivity the only

59
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:30,400
decision then to make is whether to spend a little bit more for the

60
00:04:27,280 --> 00:04:31,919
significantly better Moto G

61
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:36,160
speaking of significantly better wouldn't it be better to have an anime

62
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:41,720
site created by anime fans for anime fans yes I'm talking about C country

63
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:45,560
