Motorola has surprised the market with the release of a new budget-friendly smartphone, the Moto E14. Primarily targeted at UK and European shoppers, the phone is designed for those seeking a simple device without breaking the bank. Coming in at a price point of 70 British pounds (approximately $88), the Moto E14 offers basic features for a budget-conscious audience.
The Moto E14 is powered by a Unisoc chipset, the same found in its predecessor, the Moto E13. With 2GB of RAM, it’s geared toward light use and runs on Android 14 Go Edition, a lighter version of Android tailored for entry-level devices.
Display-wise, the phone features a 6.56-inch IPS LCD panel with HD+ resolution. Its 90Hz refresh rate provides a smoother user experience, and it’s protected by Gorilla Glass 3 for added durability. The Moto E14 boasts an IP52 rating, signifying its resistance to light rain and dripping water.
Storage-wise, the Moto E14 comes with 64GB of built-in storage using UFS 2.2, a step up from the eMMC used in its previous iteration. Additional storage can be added via a microSD slot.
The device boasts a 5,000mAh battery, capable of lasting up to 40 hours on a single charge. While the 15-watt wired charging isn’t the fastest, it’s still suitable for a phone priced this low.
The Moto E14 is available in three colors: Pastel Green, Pastel Purple, and Graphite Gray, catering to diverse preferences.
While the Moto E14 may not be a feature-packed powerhouse, its low price point makes it a compelling option for those seeking an affordable handset. Students or individuals needing a secondary phone could find it a suitable choice.
For those who prefer Motorola but seek a more feature-rich experience, other recently released options are available, such as the well-received Moto G Stylus 5G, the Moto G Power 5G, and the more affordable Moto G 5G.
