I know that the Moto G 4G (2015) has 16 GB storage, a better camera, and a bigger screen, but I am concerned about battery, and the fact that is has a antiquated chipset (Qualcomm MSM8926 Snapdragon 400).

The Moto E (2015) has the same 2390 mAh battery, but a smaller screen to power, and a more modern chipset (Qualcomm Snapdragon 410).

Both phones come with Android OS, v5.0.x (Lollipop). While the Moto E only has 8 GB storage, with Lollipop apps can be run off an SD card, so it is not much of an issue.

I am starting to think that the cheaper Moto E is now actually the better overall phone.

The 410 is newer and "better" but they are both built on 28nm architecture with the 410 being 64 bit, for what that is worth. Android 5 does not allow full usage of the SD card to store all apps. For most people a bigger, higher resolution screen and more internal memory would be better features to have rather than a newer chipset. If the battery life on the E did turn out to be significantly better in real world use then that may be good for some. But if a phone can get you through a heavy day that is good enough, being able to do a day and half doesn’t offer much benefit. Two days would be the time to sit up and notice.

I have had a Moto E for three months and I personally think it is the best mobile I have had. Slightly heavier than previous Samsung's and Nokis's I used. The only negative side has been sending and receiving mms pictures including emocions. As I have posted a separate title on this I won't digress.

The original Moto E is a cracking phone. In 2011 it would have been one of the best phones on the market.
