At that price point, Moto E has good battery life

But camera is the worst. And lacks front camera as well.

Asus Zenfone C (ZC451CG) -5999.

You have to let go something, you can't have everything. Rest choice rests with you bro.

I am planning to increase my budget to rs.7000. Which one is better?

Moto E 2nd Gen or Redmi 2?

Redmi 2 still a better option.

Moto E 2 is overpriced. Even the 4g version would be overpriced. Moto E was a decent choice 10-11 months back.

Yu is also coming out with a redmi 2 competitor soon.

Buy the Moto E2

If you go by the specs, it'll seem overpriced...

but

A general user will hardly notice any difference.. the stock vanilla android running on E2 is good. Moto E2 is really sturdy, very important point. Decent after sales service.

A friend got the Moto E2 for his brother.

We should not blindly judhe all phones just by it's specs, the pros and cons in the real world scenario is based on many other factors.

Buy the MotoE2015 . There have been heating/performance issues with the redmi. MotoE2015 has very good battery life.

Moto e certainly has a good battery life but 3g variant is not a good choice.
