Moto E³ Power was launched last week in India and the phone have already been sold over a 100,000 units. I am sure there are many XDA users who have bought it because of love with Moto and Stock Android experience with other benefits (simply read VoLTE support).

Can you post your experience with the device so far?

I have bought 2 (for my dad and wife) and below have been my experience so far:

Performance - Right after initial setup, I have notice some lag despite the phone having decent processor and 2GB RAM (noticed it maybe because I am an OnePlus 3 owner). Have not tried games as I am not much into gaming.

Battery - Battery Life is decent and can easily last approx 2 days with minimal usages. Moderate usage will still take you home with at least 20~25% battery.

Network - I have noticed significant delay in network connection on a VoLTE where, I had to wait for 4~5 min before device registered itself on the network. 2G/3G connected quickly after boot.

Camera - UI is no longer of what was there in previous iteration of Moto 3 or G. Camera interface has been completely ramped down to the one of Lenovo Phones (I know moto is a Lenovo company). Also, camera speed is slow this resulting in blurry images for fast moving target. Broad daylight photos are above average however dont torture yourself with a low-light photograph.

Storage - 16GB of onboard storage is just fine for a budget phone like this one. I was lucky that I got both the phone with free 32GB UHS I card.

Build - Sadly, build is still cheap plastic. Removing back panel is scary as there is huge chance of chipping the panel with little extra pressure. Xiaomi Redmi 3s is INR6999 however, is still a metal body phone.

My experience might be completely biased towards this phone considering the fact that I am an OnePlus 3 user. What about you all?

What about GPS performance? How's the accuracy and signal strenght? Which GPS networks are supported?

3G/LTE reception/signal strenght?

Also how's the sound quality and volume through the 3.5mm jack?

Couldn't find any reviews mentioning these aspects.

Also read some contradictory claims about call volume and quality; heating and also display brightness. What's your experience? Anything to worry about? Thanks!:)

Im thinking about getting it, but after this review.. not so sure. I'm thinking of passing the xiaomi phones as I read in reviews that even though the engineers and marketeers are truly hard workers, their support branch is a total garbage. I haven't spotted a single service outlet here in Kolkata. Nobody wants to cry being doomed to stay with a malfunctioning phone and no way out.

Gps works average
Network reception is excellent... Have been using reliance jio (VOLTE, LTE) works totally fine, vodafone 3g is also best.. So far no network drop..
I used soundmagic es18s., sound output is great.. Volume is not too high. Phone speakers have loud and decent volume... Games like dead trigger 2, real racing 3, overkill 3, need for speed- no limits work totally fine. Asphalt 8 hangs in high graphics but works fine in medium and low graphics.. Overall it can handle games in low to medium graphics pretty well. Heats up little while charging that is perfectly normal. Charging time - around 2hrs.
No bugs or hanging problem.. Screen quality is great.. Scratch and dust resistant. No complaints about display. I did notice little heating up while on call even after just normal usage
