Motorola continues its rollout in India and has introduced another entry-level smartphone just days after the launch of the Motorola G72. The new Moto E22s is one of the cheapest phones the company has introduced this year and it comes with an improved design. But the device contains some elements that can differentiate it from other devices in its class.
After discounts and bank offers, the Motorola E22s costs Rs. 8,999 with additional benefits worth Rs. 2,549 from Jio, and the device will be available for purchase exclusively on Flipkart starting October 22. Is this the right smartphone to buy in India under Rs. 10,000? Let us examine the same.
Motorola E22s specifications
The Motorola E22s features a 6.5-inch HD+ (720p) IPS-level display with a 90Hz refresh rate, which makes the phone stand out from the competition. The display has an 89 percent screen-to-body ratio with a slight bezel at the bottom and a punch hole at the top for an 8MP selfie camera with f/2.0 aperture.
The smartphone is powered by Mediatek Helio G37 processor which makes Moto E22s a 4G only smartphone. The device offers 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot for further storage expansion. The smartphone has a dual nano SIM card slot with support for 4G network.
Android 12 OS (Android 13 OS update confirmed) with almost integrated and accurate Helio G37 SoC should help this device handle normal day-to-day tasks with ease. While it cannot handle games at high graphics settings, the phone should handle games like COD: Mobile at medium graphics settings.
On the back is a dual-camera setup with a 16MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. The main camera and selfie camera on the E22s can shoot FHD and HD resolution videos at 30fps. The phone also offers features like Night Vision, Pro Mode and Dual Capture Photo.
The phone packs a 5,000 mAh battery with USB Type-C port that supports 10W fast charging and the device has a separate headphone jack. The smartphone is available in Eco Black and Arctic Blue colors with a plastic center frame and a plastic back panel.
Does it stand out from the crowd?
The Motorola E22s is IP52 certified for water and dust resistance, which is a welcome feature that we don’t usually see on budget phones. Likewise, the device has a fingerprint sensor, which adds a lot of value to budget-conscious buyers.
For the asking Rs. 8,999, the Motorola E22s looks like an attractive entry-level smartphone, especially for those looking for a bloatware-free user experience.
