Yesterday ,Motorola haz announced the  Moto E 2nd Gen smartphone  days ahead of the Mobile World Congress, which begins in Barcelona next week. The Moto E 1st Gen was universally praised for the value for money proposition it was at the time. However, the market dynamics have changed and we have seen a slew of high-quality low-cost smartphones enter the Indian market. Let's checm out how it fares against phones like the MMX Yu Yureka.

Moto E vs Mmx Yureka Yu :

In December, Micromax co-founder Rahul Sharma announced a new brand called Yu and launched a smartphone called the Mmx Yureka. The phone, which costs Rs 8,990 is a very impressive offering. Even when compared to the new Moto E, it appears to be very enticing because it is likely to be a better phone on the basis of hardware.

While the Moto E gets a massive upgrade in the form of a Snapdragon 410 processor, the Yureka is likely to be better because it has a faster Snapdragon 615 octa-core processor. The Mmx Yureka also has 2GB RAM as opposed to 1GB RAM on the Moto E.

Even in terms of photography, the Yureka has a 13-megapixel camera on the back and a 5-megapixel camera on the front. The Moto E  at least on paper, is inferior with its 5-megapixel rear camera and VGA front camera. It even forgoes a flash, which could make it poorer in low-light.

The difference between the screens on both the phone is like chalk and cheese. The Moto E has a smaller 4.5-inch qHD display, while the Yureka has a 5.5-inch HD display. Design wise too, because of the difference in the size of the display, it will be a subjective call. The Moto E has a curvy back, which could be ergonomic in the palm, while the Mmx Yureka is large and is an outright phablet.

The difference between the software will be subjective as the Moto E runs Android Lollipop, which remains close to the stock avatar of the OS and gets Latest updates from Google . On the other hand, the Yureka runs the friendly Userinterface of CM  Cyanogenmod 11S, which is based on the older version of Android 4.4 KitKat. Even in terms of pricing the Moto E comes up short as the 4G version of the phone could be more expensive than the Yureka at around Rs 10,000(approx.).
