Moto E or Asus Zenfone 4?

[Black_Hawk]

Hello folks,

I need to buy one for someone. She needs a simple phone, nothing too complicated. She'll be making calls, using the camera sometimes to take photographs, listen to music over the phone speaker, and browse the internet (check her emails and stuff). That's pretty much it.

In-between the Motorola Moto E and the Asus Zenfone 4 which is a better choice to go for? I need to buy/ order the phone by today so kindly advice.

TIA
Regards,
Black_Hawk

This might help-

Just one more thing I'd like to add is that the Zenfone battery seems to be hit & miss. From all the reviews, both professional & amateur/consumer, that I've read, the battery performance seems to be either satisfactory or downright abysmal. Don't know who's right.

Can't tell you about Asus , but I have the moto e and g , build quality is great and so is the screen along with great battery backup .

Thank-you @ankushv and @kidrow for the replies, appreciate it! I decided against getting the Asus Zenfone 4 due to it's measly battery backup judging from the user reviews floating on the internet.

Go for moto e. Works great as a daily driver.

why don't you throw a Lumia into the mix? From the kind of usage, a Windows phone might fit the bill better

Thanks guys for all the replies. As I stated before I entirely gave up on the idea of getting the Asus Zenfone 4 owing largely to the fact that it's got poor battery backup. I ended up ordering a Moto E and a Xiaomi Redmi 1S. The lady I'm going to be gifting it to will have a choice in-between the two and can keep the one she likes. It's good to pamper people sometimes with choices! I'll use the other one as a secondary handset.
