    I have one for past 2 months. (€99 from vodafone)
    Great budget phone. 4.5" screen.
    Camera is great. Audio is great.
    Battery life is excellent too, especially with wifi off.

    Don't see them as that similar :eek:

(though Motorola UI is much lighter than Samsung Touchwiz so you get much much more of the 8GB on the Motorola )

    That is the Moto G in your chart. OP is looking at the Moto E 2nd Gen.

    Tbh, Smart Prime 6 is a much better specced phone than the two of those for 99 euro. Also, its running 5.0 Lollipop and is pretty much stock as well.

    Crap sorry to OP...you are correct Moto E is similar to Galaxy Core Prime
    Moto E
    Sharpness 245ppi
    Resolution 540x960
    4.5" screen
    2,390 mAH battery
    RAM 1GB
    Internal memory 8GB
    Camera 5MP

    Moto E shades it in my opinion - can't think of anyway the Core Prime is better.

    Get the Moto E. The Samsung screen is quite poor and does not have Gorilla glass protection. Moto E screen is an IPS display and is much better quality. Apart from that specs as very similar. I have seen both and have a Galaxy Note myself so do like Samsung phones. BTW you can do a comparison of both on GSMarena and read a review of both.

    Vodafone Smart Prime 6 has much better specs than the Moto E, as well as a 720p IPS display (which is seen on the Moto G, two times the price) - Go for it OP.
