Moto E back in stock on Flipkart [Update: Out of stock]

The black model of the Moto E  is now back in stock on Flipkart . The budget  Moto E  that went on sale exclusively via Flipkart ran out of stock within two days.  Within a week, the device was in stock but only 20,000 units were put up for sale. Looks like, there were too many takers for the Moto E as several users repeatedly got error messages stating ‘Internal server error’. Several buyers have already begun venting frustration on Twitter.  So, did you get your Moto E?

Flipkart said that it was working on fixing it. Take a look at one such tweet by the estore:

Flipkart has also started selling swappable back covers called Motorola Shells dipped in nine vivid colours - lemon, turquoise, raspberry, violet, chaulk, royal blue, spearmint, cherry and licorice.  Each Moto Shell comes at a steep price of Rs 899, especially considering the device is aimed at entry users and priced at Rs 6,999. However, launch day offer, allows users to buy the cover at 50 percent discount that amounts to approximately Rs 450.

Moto E is aimed at entry-level users, and could put any budget Android to shame. It gets a slightly smaller 4.3-inch qHD display, and a pixel density of 256 ppi. The rugged device comes with waterproof capabilities, and the display is scratch-resistant. Under the hood, it is powered by a dual-core Snapdragon 200 processor clocked at 1.2GHz coupled with 1GB RAM. Read our complete  Moto E review , to know more.

Priced at Rs 6,999, the Moto E could shake up the entry-level segment, especially threatening phones  from the likes of Micromax, Karbonn, Lava etc . It also gets the better of comparably-priced  entry-level models from the likes of Samsung and Sony . The out-of-stock status for the Moto E just underlines how much of a threat it is to these brands.

While Motorola has been doing very well in India with the Moto G and to some extent, the Moto X, the company plans to add to its portfolio in the country. Soon, India will see the  Moto 360 smartwatch come to market and with the same competitive pricing that has become a hallmark of Motorola’s comeback to the Indian market.
