Should you buy Moto E?

If you are in the market for a smartphone under INR 9,000, Moto E is a no-brainer. The phone packs some impressive internals, which coupled with Android 4.4.2 offer a great user-experience, something, which is unknown in this price-segment. I spend some time with the phone during Moto E launch event on May 13 and found it to be snappy and of great build quality.  The customisation options like replaceable back covers are an added extra. Among other useful features, Moto E includes anti-splash nano-coating, anti-smudge coating and Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for scratch-resistance. You might find Gorilla Glass in some budget phones but other features are unheard of in this budget.
