Moto E 2nd Gen vs Lenovo A6000

The Moto E and the Lenovo A6000 actually share quite a bit in common. Now that Motorola is owned by Lenovo company, the A6000 and the new Moto E are essentially siblings(same company products). Both phones are also amongst the first phones to be powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset, which adds a 64-bit architecture, and throws in 4G support.

However,  the difference between the phone could be as big as night and day. While the new Moto E runs on an almost stock take on Android Lollipop 5.0 OS, which we have found to be quite fast and fluid on devices like the old Moto E and Moto G, the A6000 is running on Android KitKat which is heavily skinned and runs the iOS like Vibe UI. We found the Vibe UI to be slow and bloated in our review of the phone, so the new Moto E could pull ahead as it uses stock Android.

Both are 4G phones with dual-SIM support, but there is a difference between the screens on both the devices. The Moto E has a smaller 4.5-inch qHD screen, while the Lenovo A6000 has a larger 5-inch display with an HD resolution. Technically speaking, the A6000 has the sharper screen, and could prove to be better than the Moto E. 

The Lenovo A6000 has a 8-megapixel camera on the back and a 2-megapixel camera on the front. The Moto E has a 5-megapixel camera, but it does not have a flash and on the front there is an obligatory VGA camera. Now, the camera on the A6000 is not very good, so things could be quite tight between the two phones in the photography department.

In the pricing department, the A6000 costs Rs 6,999(approx.) in India. The 4G version of the Moto E could be costlier at around Rs 10,000(approx.) as its US price is $149.
