Motorola’s new budget phones put a premium on multi-day battery life
Motorola continues to add to its already extensive catalog of budget phones. On Friday, the company announced two new handsets: the Moto G Fast and the Moto E.
At $199, the Moto G Fast is the more expensive of the two. It features a 6.4-inch HD+ Max Vision display with an 8-megapixel, hole-punch selfie camera. On its back, you'll find a triple-camera setup that includes a 16-megapixel lens, an 8-megapixel, 118-degree ultra-wide angle lens, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. As for color options, the G Fast only comes in Pearl White.
It also comes with auto smile feature, which recognizes when everyone in the shot is smiling before taking the photo. The G Fast has a Smart Composition feature as well, that crops crooked photos to make sure the subject in the photo is properly centered.

Under the hood is Qualcomm's Snapdragon 665 along with 32GB of storage and 3GB of RAM. There's also a microSD card slot for expandable storage up to 512GB.
The Moto G Fast also packs a 4,000mAh battery, which Motorola says can last up to two days. Of course, that all depends on your usage.
If you're looking for something a bit cheaper, the Moto E comes in at $149. It features a 6.2-inch display and a 5-megapixel hole-punch camera. As for its rear dual-camera setup, you're getting a 13-megapixel lens and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. In addition to the ability to adjust things like bokeh prior to snapping shots with the Moto E, you'll also be able to tweak photos afterwards.
It also comes in two colors that are a bit more fun than the Moto G Fast's Pearl White. You'll have the option to choose from either Midnight Blue or Champagne Pink.
Additionally, it features a Snapdragon 632 chipset as well as 32GB of storage and 2GB of RAM. Like the Moto G Fast, it has a microSD card slot for expandable storage up to 512GB.
The Moto E packs a 3,550mAh battery, which Motorola says can last 42 hours — so, it'll last almost two full days. Again, squeezing multiple days out of it is dependent on how much you'll be using the phone.
Both the Moto G Fast and Moto E are currently available for pre-order and will ship unlocked. The phones are set to go on sale June 12.
