Motorola has been steadily launching devices that are able to match up to the other companies and their devices. The new Motorola E5 Cruise is one such new generation device which conforms to the market demands. The Motorola E5 Cruise is available for about 3000 Rupees.
The Motorola E5 Cruise has a 5.2 inches of IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen and has a screen resolution of about 720 x 1280 pixels with a pixel density of 282 ppi. The colors on this device are clear and you find them to be natural and crisp. The sunlight viewing angles are good and turning up the brightness helps in reading the display easily even in bright sunlight.
The cameras on the Motorola devices are good and they take a very good picture. The Motorola E5 Cruise has a single camera setup in the rear, a 8 MP lens with an aperture size of f/2.0 and the front camera has a 5 MP lens. Pictures snapped from these cameras are decent to keep memories but not decent enough to share on online platforms.
The Motorola E5 Cruise is powered by Qualcomm MSM8920 Snapdragon 427 chipset with Quad-core 1.4 GHz Cortex-A53 processors and Adreno 308 graphics chipset. The device runs on the Android v8.0 Oreo. The device has 2 GB RAM with 16 GB of internal storage and 256 GB of expandable memory using a MicroSD card.
The Motorola E5 Cruise has a 2800 mAh Lithium-Polymer battery and there is no fast charging functionality and it comes with a normal charger in the box. The device is able to sustain for a day before running out of juice with average usage. It goes from 0-100 in about 2-2.5 hours.
The Motorola E5 Cruise comes in Navy color.
