Moto E XT830C as one of the Android smartphone that support Tracfone prepaid service is a powerful smartphone that offer plenty features with affordable cost that could be the next best thing for any Tracfone customer.
Motorola produces lots of different phone where Moto E XT830C is one of those phones that are available in low cost without sacrificing its performance. At the end of 2014, Tracfone added this phone as part of the phone that use their prepaid service and it add the long list of smartphone for Tracfone customer to choose.
It may not be the biggest smartphone from Tracfone, but with its 4.3 inches of touch screen, it is big enough to provide user with clear view about everything on the screen. It use Android version 4.4 as it OS that still usable and compatible with lots of apps in Play Store up until this day.
The good thing about the OS of this phone is that it will continue to update to the latest version because it was made with partnership with Google. It means that user of this phone don’t have to worry for not being able to enjoy the great things that comes with the latest version of Android this day.
The screen is also protected by Gorilla Glass 3, which is strong enough to deal with daily use so people can expect the phone to be able to stand for long time. Perhaps one of the best things that this phone can offer is the long hour of talk time. With it 1980 mAh battery, this phone able to last for 16.5 hours of talk time and 30 days of standby time.
That is a record for Android smartphone who usually only have less than 10 hours of talk time and around 2 weeks of standby time. With this kind of ability, people don’t have to worry for running out of battery in the middle of hectic day where they are too busy to charge the phone.
The phone use 1.2 GHz dual core processor, 1 GB RAM and 4 GB internal memory. This combination may not seem much but it is more than enough to give good phone performance even when the phone was used for multitasking. Just like most of the smartphone this day, it also comes with external Micro SD card that can keep another 32 GB of additional data.
So far this phone seems very solid, but still it has some aspect that some people think as its weakness. First, it only has a 5 MP camera without any front facing camera. It also doesn’t have flash features that could help to capture better picture in low light area.
The last thing that people need to know is that the battery of this phone is non-removable. There is no way that the user can change the batter with spare battery and if there problem with it, they may have to change the phone as well.
Other than those weaknesses, this phone is indeed a solid one. It is also available at affordable price where Tracfone offered the reconditioned one for $19.99. People who want to have a better deal for the new one could also look for this phone in other places including Amazon and eBay, depend on their personal preference.
