Moto E is an Android smartphone developed and manufactured by Motorola Mobility. It was unveiled and released online in India and the United States on May 13, 2014.
Released in the wake of the success of the Moto G, the Moto E was designed to be a durable, low-end device marketed towards first-time smartphone owners and budget-minded consumers, especially within emerging markets.
The Moto E was positively received by U.S. technology publications, who praised the device's relatively high quality in comparison to other low-end smartphones common in emerging markets, albeit with shortcomings such as a lack of front-facing camera or camera flash. 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 exclusively marketing the device in the country.[1]
The Moto E was succeeded by a second-generation model in February 2015.
