The best phone I ever had in my life I had it for 5 years, and I regret having changed it. The only bad thing was the update to 6.0.

    My XT1527 Moto E2 is still working fine, battery keeps its charge & phone is still solidly useful - I upgraded to android 6.0 back in the day ... a great purchase for $100 new 8-9 years ago

    I don't use it for social media so it matters little that farcebook etc won't talk to the browser any more ( prolly a good thing :P )

      Feb 2024, I'm using one of these on e/OS. It's still a nice little phone, good battery life, good size (actually fits in your pocket!) Bit sluggish with some apps of course but if you're patient then it's ok. For £20 you can't go wrong.

        Is this good for a month or two?

          Nostalgia to 2015 spring when i was in the hotel sheraton in lagos and i was watching 76ers vs jazz highlights on youtube on this phone on hotel wifi in the lobby eating a doughnut

            Memory trip... Had this one for a few months before it was stolen from me. I was younger and I had little money so no way to get another one. I have fond memories of it, got the LTE version with the Snapdragon 410. I liked everything about this phone. Would have lasted me at least until 2018-2019 for sure.

                        I've had this phone for 7 years. Still works great, and it's indestructible. Can't count the amount of times I've dropped it by accident with barely any scratches. LineageOS and a 32GB SD card keeps this phone relevant in 2022, the only real downside with this phone is the lack of RAM. With apps getting increasingly memory hungry, you will most likely not be able to keep multiple apps open at the same time without the OS closing them in the background.

                                Its been 5 years since it was released but still this phone works fine in 2021 , It is the longest running phone in my house in comparison Samsung J7 Pro and other phones .
                                I love this phone because even after 5 years its quality hasn't dropped yet .
                                Battery charges 1 percent in 1 minute
                                Games like Free Fire , Payback , COC are smooth with 60 FPS .
                                Only problem that I got is its storage - All apps had so many updates that now system apps have taken up the whole storage but still this phone handles them .
                                Overall best phone I have ever seen till now .

                                    Question: 1. Is the moto 2e is VOLTE COMPATIBLE WITH 4G LTE NETWORK.
                                    2. will it survive the the fazing out of 3G phones on AT&T NETWORK.
                                    Thanks.

                                      this was my second smartphone I exchanged it for a Lenovo phone that was my first smartphone with 512MB ram and all.... I rooted and did all kinda stuff to it. this phone was so cute and durable I gave it to my sister.. I don't know what happened then

                                        I bought this phone in 2015, and I'm still using it 5½ years later. Not just as a backup or a secondary device, but as my everyday phone. Admittedly I've never used it all that intensively, but I browse the web, take photos, use various messaging apps, and I used it for maps before Covid made it much harder to go places. It has lasted amazingly well - I still get a couple of days battery life between charges.

                                        It would have been replaced a couple of years ago, when it started to behave oddly, if not for Lineage OS. Thanks, whoever has created and maintained the Lineage build! Other than flashing Lineage onto it, I've used a pin to clean fluff out of the USB & headphone ports a few times. The casing is thoroughly scuffed by now, but that doesn't stop it working.

                                        The photo quality isn't great next to more expensive phones, but it takes pretty decent photos in daylight - I'd say impressively good for a cheap device from 5 years ago. Similarly, it's noticeably slow at times, but mostly not so slow as to be frustrating.

                                        The biggest downside, as others have said, is the limited storage. The operating system takes nearly half of that, and several apps will cheerfully store a few hundred MB of data each. I occasionally have to wipe the data from some apps and sign in again. Using a microSD card doesn't help much - many apps refuse to be stored on the card, and even some of those that allow it seem buggy when moved there.

                                        One day it will give up, but I'm going to see how much longer I can keep it going.
