The Moto E4 is a budget smartphone that outperforms its discount price tag. The old adage of "you get what you pay for" is still true - you can't expect flagship features at a sixth of the price - but Motorola has managed to impress with just how much $24...

The Moto E4 pushes the boundaries of what you'd expect from a $249 smartphone. With the exception of poor lowlight photography and a comparatively small amount of storage out of the box (which can be addressed with a microSD card, if need be)...

It's hard for me to recommend the Moto E4. At $100 with Amazon ads its an OK value as a backup phone or for light usage. I'd struggle to use this phone day-to-day, however. It feels like a cheap phone (admittedly because it is) and is under powered. If yo...
