Ever since I heard about Google’s Android OS powered phones I was very much keen to have one for myself. But back then it wasn’t possible to get it as I was still in college making a living on pocket money. Being a tech lover, the cool features of the OS and the concept of a smart phone fascinated me a lot. 

Life moved on and the day finally came on 22^nd Jan’ 2012 when with my ‘khoon pasina ek kar ke’ I brought my very first Google Android smart phone. The moment of having a smart phone in my hand took me to a whole new level of happiness. Touch screen phone featuring 3.5” display and the ultimate Gingerbread Android OS. Whoa!! It was dream come true. Google Maps, Gtalk, Gmail, Games, GPS, Notes, Music, Video, Internet, Camera (with 5MP, LED flash and autofocus) so on and so forth. It was like having access to n number of things just a swipe or touch away. I could still remember that sheer amazement I felt when I could do everything with just a soft touch on the screen. It was a good riddance to the hard unresponsive keys of my old phone. I was and still am a proud user of Gingerbread Android OS.

Time has finally come to get ahead in the race with the latest stuff. And the best smart phone released in the market [psst. one which also fits my budget!!] is none other than 2^nd Gen #MotoE from Motorola.

I #ChooseToStart my journey of my most loved Android OS with 2^nd Gen #MotoE which packs in the sweetest OS ever released - ‘Lollipop’. I always wanted to have my hands on this OS ever since its release. The best part I like about Motorola is that it always comes with a Pure Android OS experience; which helps unleash the best of the Android OS and if that wasn’t enough for you then Motorola backs up their consumers with the upgrades of the Android OS too (Yes, they are listening to needs of their consumer and that’s what I love about this company).

Another feature that catches my eye is that 2^nd Gen #MotoE has a very casual way of styling. The curved back completely distinguishes it from the rest of the lot. The variety of colours given to the new Grip Shells combines styling with superior grip on the candy-bar phone. This combination is cool ‘ekdam hatke’; the way I like it. I like the different/vibrant colours they come in.

What’s surprising for me was 2^nd Gen #MotoE is inheriting a lot of features from Moto X. It’s like ‘chote packet mein bada dhamaka’. For example is the ‘Quick Capture’ feature. All you need to do is twist your wrist twice to launch the camera and twist twice once again to switch to the front-facing camera. Yeah!! You read it right. It does have a front facing camera. The 2^nd Gen #MotoE has a VGA front facing camera, to woo the selfie lovers.
