it's on Enthusiast Hardware where we first see the innovations that trickle
down to the mainstream stuff a couple of years later so there's usually a whole
lot more for me to say about a piece of high-end gear than a value one but once
in a while it's helpful to come back down to earth and find out just how much
the value customer gives up compared to the Enthusiast customer so welcome to a
bit of a new style video for me I'm calling it a micro review about the
Motorola Moto e25 4G
variant of course our h8i GT and h100i
GTX all-in-one liquid coolers improve both the appearance and cooling of your
PC click my face or this spot or this
spot how many annotations can he make Nick do to learn
more since this is a micro video there's
no time to waste so let's get right into it this little guy is an entry-level
smartphone whose killer feature is right in the name 4G connectivity but it gets
some other upgrades as well compared to the 2014 model the processor has been
boosted to a Snapdragon 410 RAM holds steady at 1 GB storage gets bumped from
4 to 8 gigs with the same micro SD expansion the battery capacity jumps 20%
to 2390 milliamp hours and the screen jumps from a 540 by 960 pixel 4.3 inch
display to an okay the resolution stayed the same and it only got bumped to 4
and2 in but size ain't the only important thing here folks the new
display is an IPS panel it's not the
best I've seen and whites have a yellow or even slightly orange cast and blues
are oversaturated but it's a heck of a lot better than TN so yay joining that
at the front of the phone is a 640x480 selfie cam a speaker that pulls triple
Duty as the headset speaker an unexceptional loudspeaker and a great
little storage Nook for pocket lint and other random crap and that's about it
the buttons are on screen at the back is the camera for 5 megapixel Stills in
720p 30fps video that stunningly doesn't
include an LED flash I mean seriously how much more would that have cost then
around the edges of the removable rubbery feeling ring are the micro USB
charging port satisfying feeling volume and lock buttons and a headphone jack
then you can pull that baby off if you want to get a different color one or
access the micro SD and Sim slots 3G
version users will actually find two slim Sim slim Sim slots in here so let's
talk about using this thing the screen is noticeably non-retina uh it's pretty
slow uh Android 5.0 Lollipop in spite of its non bloated basically vanilla
implementation other than some little stuff like the handy notification glance
feature that I love on the Droid Turbo cannot save it compared to older
Hardware something like an iPhone 4 or 4S nonp power users might not be
bothered but on occasion I found myself putting the phone aside to do something
else while I wait for something which is never a good sign which isn't to say
that the whole experience is terrible the phone feels really solid and the
ergonomics are mostly good with more grip on the back being my only real
request 2.4 only gigahertz Wi-Fi is a
bit of a drag but the good news is that my bell LTE connection is significantly
faster than in my landline which the 2.4 GHz connection could saturate anyway and
I have lots of data so there's that battery life was a really strong point I
was expecting going from a 4,000 milliamp phone the Droid Turbo to a
2000ish milliamp battery would bother me
but the lower power Hardware in here allows it to easily make it through my
most demanding days with plenty of battery to spare which leads to the
micro conclusion of this micro video the camera is not as bad as I expected
indecent light but the lack of a flash means that poor lighting conditions will
come often and while at $20 more than
the original Moto E it doesn't feel quite like a direct replacement given
how much has improved you're getting a great value for your extra 20 bucks with
the most notable bits being for me the IPS display the improved battery life
and of course LTE connectivity the only
decision then to make is whether to spend a little bit more for the
significantly better Moto G
speaking of significantly better wouldn't it be better to have an anime
site created by anime fans for anime fans yes I'm talking about C country
