The Moto E is an Android smartphone developed and manufactured by Motorola Mobility. Released in the wake of its successful Moto G, the Moto E is an entry-level device that is intended to compete against feature phones
by providing a durable, low-cost device for first-time smartphone
owners or budget-minded consumers, with a particular emphasis on emerging markets.
The device was unveiled on May 13, 2014, and made available at online retailers in India and the United States
the same day. In India, the release of the Moto E was met with
similarly high demand to that of the Indian release of the Moto G, and
crashed the website of Flipkart—the online retailer marketing the device in the country.[1]

Development
The release of the Moto G, an entry-level Android smartphone, was a major success for Motorola Mobility—who had been acquired by Google Inc. in 2012, and was in the process of being sold to Lenovo as of January 2014.[2]
In the first quarter of 2014, Motorola sold 6.5 million phones—led by
strong sales of the Moto G, especially in markets such as India, and in the United Kingdom—where the company accounted for 6% of smartphone sales sold in the quarter, up from nearly 0.[3][4]
The Moto E was designed to specifically compete against feature phones in emerging markets;
according to Charlie Tritschler, Motorola's senior vice-president of
products, the Moto E's goal is to "end the feature phone", and the
device is primarily targeted towards "people who have been on the edge
for a while but just didn’t think they could afford [a smartphone]."[5] Magnus Ahlqvist, vice president of Motorola's EMEA
division, estimated that between 65 to 70% of users in India still used
feature phones. In February 2014, Motorola released the Moto G in India
exclusively through the online retailer Flipkart,
marking its first release in the country since 2012. The website's
original stock of 20,000 units sold out within hours, and it sold
247,000 Moto G units in just two months, ranking as the 12th
highest-selling smartphone in the country for the first quarter of 2014.[6][1][5]
Trischler noted that durability was a key selling point in emerging markets, specifically citing the device's use of Gorilla Glass
3, an anti-smudge screen coating, and a similar splashproof coating to
the Moto G—which he also noted were attributes that are not normally
seen in such low-end products. The company also emphasized its efforts
to reduce the cost of constructing the phone—expanding upon those used
by the Moto G. Tritschler stated that these measures have to be
"architected [right] into the product; you can’t just cut the price."[5] Overall, the Moto E is 40% cheaper than the Moto G.[6][5]
The version of Android shipped on the device, 4.4 "KitKat",
contains a number of changes designed to optimize the operating system
for low-end devices such as the Moto G and E. To emphasize the device's
performance, Motorola argued in a demonstration that the Moto E was
slightly faster than the high-end Samsung Galaxy S4
at performing basic tasks such as launching certain apps (such as the
camera and web browser) and going back to the home screen from an app.[7][8]

Release
The Moto E was unveiled on May 13, 2014. India was one of the first
countries where the Moto E was released; the device was released
exclusively by Flipkart, where it retailed for 
6999
(US$120) without a contract. Upon its launch at midnight local time,
demand for the device was so high that the resulting surge in orders
caused the website to crash.[1] The device was also released online through Motorola's website in the United States and in the United Kingdom. The Moto E is to be released in other markets, such as Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and Spain.[9][1][1][10]

The Moto E's build and design is similar to that of the Moto G, with a
"splashproof" coating, curved backing, and a front-mounted speaker
below the screen. The device is available in either black or white front
colors, and has an interchangeable rear cover with different color
options. It features a 4.3 inches (11 cm) IPS qHD display, coated with Gorilla Glass 3. The device uses a dual-core 1.2 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 200 processor, and includes 1 GB of RAM. The Moto E has 4 GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 32 GB with a MicroSD card. The Moto E only supports up to 3G connectivity, and is available in a dual SIM
model in selected markets. The device includes a non-removable 1980 mAh
battery, which Motorola touted as having "all-day" battery life. The
device featured a 5-megapixel rear-facing fixed-focus camera; the Moto E
does not include a flash or a front-facing camera.[11][5][12]
The Moto E ships with a stock version of Android 4.4 "KitKat". Several Motorola-specific apps are included, including Assist, as introduced by the Moto X,
which automatically enable or disable certain modes, such as silencing
the ringer or auto replying to text messages, depending on certain
scenarios—such as when a user is in a meeting as determined by their
calendar, or driving.[13]
The Moto E also includes a new "Alert" app, which allows users to
notify others of their location. Motorola has committed to upgrading the
Moto E to the next major release of Android following its release.[11][5][12]
