Moto E3 with Water and dust resistant Launched

Lenovo-owned Motorola has launched the 3rd generation Moto E. The new moto E3 packs a 5 inch IPS (720 X 1280 pixels) display panel rather than a 4.5-inch display from the previous years and a more capable 1.2GHz quad-core Snapdragon chipset. The new Moto E3 also comes with an improved 8 Megapixel rear and 5 Megapixel front facing camera. The 2,800mAh battery is powering the display and other components of the device.

In terms of memory, the phone sports 8 GB onboard storage and can be expanded upto 64 GB if needed. The new Moto E3 is quite similar to its brother the Moto G4 in terms of build and looks.

Running Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow out of the box , the new Moto E is a great competitive phone in the budget price segment of the market. In Nepal, it will cost around Rs.14000 considering the international pricing of £99. Although it is  slightly higher than earlier Moto  E models, the new Moto E is a brilliant phone in its price range. Lenovo also claims that the new Moto E is smudge, water, and dust resistant. The phone also has an inbuilt screen protector.

Key specs of Moto E3

  • 5 inch IPS display (720 X 1280 pixels)
  • 8 Megapixel rear camera with LED flash
  • 5 Megapixel front facing camera
  • Android 6.0.1 (Marshmallow) out of the box
  • 2800 mAh Li-Ion battery

  • Launch date: September

In my opinion, the Moto E3 is a solid phone with stunning performance, built quality, battery and camera in such a low budget. I’d recommend getting this phone who has a budget around 15k.

The company also provides the reason for skipping the Note 6 model, and will directly be launching Note 7.

First and foremost though, you might be curious as to why it’s called Galaxy Note7 instead of Galaxy Note6. There are a couple reasons why. First, the Galaxy Note7 will  complement our Galaxy S7 and S7 edge, and unify our product portfolio. Second, the Galaxy Note7 will minimize confusion about the latest mobile technology from Samsung, and provide full alignment with Galaxy S smartphone.

Although the price and expected availability date has not been announced, some publications have noted that the price will be around $900, which is $100 more than the launch price of Note 5. For more details, we have to wait until the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Unpacked event!

The phone will be exclusively available from their website starting 12th of July, and will be available from retail shops from 14th of July. Since this is just the 3GB RAM/32GB ROM variant of the Redmi Note 3, it’s specs are identical compared to the previously launched variant with 2GB RAM/16GB ROM.

Highlights of Xiaomi Redmi Note 3:

  • 5.5-inches Full HD (1080 x 1920 pixels) @ 403ppi
  • MIUI 7.0 on top of Android 5.1.1
  • Qualcomm MSM8956 Snapdragon 650 Chipset
  • Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 & Dual-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A72 CPU
  • Adreno 510 GPU
  • 32GB eMMC 5.0 internal with microSD support upto 128GB
  • 3GB RAM
  • Hybrid SIM slot (SIM+SIM Or SIM+MicroSD)
  • 16 MP Rear Camera with f/2.0, phase detection autofocus, dual-LED flash, 1080p@30fps

Like the 2GB RAM variant, the 3GB RAM variant of the Redmi Note 3 has also been priced exorbitantly when compared to Indian pricing (INR. 12,000). Mathematically, we are paying NPR. 8,800 more, which is utterly absurd. Despite all that, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 is still worth all your money. It’s one of the best phones to buy under NPR. 30,000 right now if you are looking for a good display, excellent performance, and long battery life. Having said that, the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 falls under the camera department as the 16MP camera of the Redmi Note 3 is just mediocre at best.
