Motorola’s Moto E (2nd Gen) bucks the trend of increasingly expensive smartphones with yearly incremental updates. Designed as a no-contract option, the latest ‘budget’ handset redefines value for money with a nice topping of functionality.

All technology should aim for ubiquity and as features and specifications become more popular, the idea is that they become more affordable and accessible to more people.
