Priced to Kill
The cheapest 4G smartphone in Australia reviewed
Underpowered and Overshadowed
'Huawei Honor 4C is a good phone but so are many others in this price range. '
'decent construction and slightly arched casing'
'eye-catchingly low price tag'
'At 12.3mm thick the Moto E is a chunky little mobile, but the smooth curves of the soft touch back are a delight. '
'The look is simple and uncomplicated and we like that.'
'In most respects, this is a perfectly ordinary Android smartphone. '
'The 2-megapixel front camera is really bad, and images taken with it looked rather soft, dreamy, and devoid of details.'
Cheap and cheerful Android smartphone
'Boring design.'
'So while it looks great in a pitch black room, it loses a great part of its coolness in even moderately lit environments.'
At Rs 5,999 Xiaomi has another big winner on its hands
'The Redmi Note continues Xiaomi's habit of upsetting the market with strong smartphones at phenomenal prices. '
'The Redmi Note 4G is good for those looking for a budget 4G handset.'
'Xiaomi is known to pack in impressive specifications on its phones, and the Redmi Note is no different.'
'There's also no 4G LTE.'
'Rubbish battery life.'
'The screen is a 4-inch 480x800-pixel panel which really isn't very bright and has poor viewing angles. '
A new entry to the budget smartphone category that could scare rivals
One of the best low-cost smartphones you can buy
'Camera is sub-par, sorely lacking in detail.'
'One other pretty rubbish element of the screen is what it's made of.'
'You need to get around the 300ppi mark to get really good sharpness, and the Moto E does better the Xperia E1 despite its larger screen with 256ppi.'
'It’s not a terrible screen but – you guessed it – the Motorola Moto E offers a much better one. '
