motoG 1st gen replacement, HTC 526 or MotoE?
My MotoG after almost 2 years was finally acting up. It held up well considering how much I used it for my job and how many times I dropped it. The protective case probably helped. Side by side to the MotoE the specs look fairly similar, however the Moto E lacks a flash for the camera and a notification light. I utilize the flash as a flashlight regularly so the MotoE was out. However you do get a MicroSD card slot, a bigger battery and the 4G network. Three things that are upgrades from the MotoG to the HTC is the 4G network, 500mb of ram extra, MicroSD card slot and a slightly larger screen, primarily the length of the screen. I run about 8-9mb/s with prepaid 4g and the ram seems to improve processing of heavier apps. The slightly slower processor isn't too noticeable in regular every day apps or apps I use for work but I did notice a couple games seem to run choppy in comparison to the MotoG. Screen brightness is comparable and the temperature is cooler. Don't be fooled by the front facing speakers, it is only for looks and not stereo sound. Since this phone doesn't have a notification light, I installed "Easy Reminder" app to audibly remind me of a notification. The camera has some nice features such as on screen adjust of ISO, EV and White Balance. The auto focus seems responsive. Image quality is pretty typical to most budget phones. The size of the battery did concerns me. It has only a 2000mAh battery in comparison to the old MotoG with 2070mAh and the 2nd generation MotoE 2390mAh. There is also the HTC 626 with a bigger screen and better quality shell but it still only uses a 2000mAh battery, which is stupid. I felt software was a mix bag. It didn't wow me but I am not missing my MotoG as much. The phone uses Lollipop 5.1 so there shouldn't be any memory leaks. Lollipop's new status bar tools are handy but the notification lock screen is too easy to unlock. Actually I was using Next screen lock by Microsoft on my MotoG and it is far better so I decided to install it on the HTC. Sound profile settings seem to be a bit limited in comparison to Moto Assist so I installed "Profile Scheduler." Lollipop does have a new user profile settings that is kid friendly. The "Car" driving mode app is more complete then Moto Assist and doesn't seem to cut me off too quickly when I reply back to a text when using my bluetooth. The message+ app has some interesting features such as auto emoji. Like for example the word "check", "home", "eat" or "love" a bubble appears around the word giving me the option to select a matching emoji, sometimes multiple options. Oddly some apps didn't use this message app as the default when using the share button even though HTC setup the app as the first option on the home screen. I also had message+ crash a few times so I decided to just use the stock android message app. I found myself installing extra apps or changing defaults to emulate features I liked with my MotoG. Perhaps that is just a preference and I am just picky. If having a camera flash or flashlight isn't important to you, I would recommend the MotoE. For the HTC 526, the extra ram, marginally bigger screen and looks are nice but the battery is a down fall. It should still get through a day with light or moderate use however you'll probably be reaching for the charger by supper time. The HTC is still a pretty good phone and it has comparable specs overall but some of the app instability is noticeable in comparison to a 2 year old phone so I can only give it an average rating.

Nice for an entry level
Bought this phone for my wife and we decided to go with another HTC model since her previous phone was an HTC Droid DNA. So far she is loving it. It's performance is just great. it is fast, smooth and very responsive. So far there has been no freezing whatsoever. HTC is well know for making excellent phones.
