As you can see from the specs, both the devices are almost similar and with respect to specs Unite 2 has a slight edge. But having said that Unite 2 comes with a MediaTek processor which isn’t great for gaming while Moto E has a Snapdragon dual core processor. We need to have a detailed test on the performance to find which is better here.
Price in India:
The phone will be available in 4 bright colors – grey, white, red and green to break the monotony from the boring black and blues. Priced at a MOP of Rs. 6,999/-, the Micromax Unite 2 will be available across all leading retail outlets in India from May 22, 2014.
