Between the Moto G and E, I would suggest the G. A camera with a flash may not appear to be the most decisive aspect of a purchase for a visually impaired person in many people's view. However, OCR technology and other photo recognition related aspects are improving, and one can't keep buying a smartphone in every 2 months in usual circumstances. Twin speakers and processor advantages make the G a better call than the E in my view. However, as many have pointed out, the Motorola Moto devices are reported to have a serious issue of audio cutoffs on the latest Android. There also are reports that the issue is fixed in the latest update of LP that is getting released soon. Depending on which part of India you are based in, the 4g factor should also figure in your decision I feel. Many network providers have started the process of making available 4g services in select Indian cities...... In addition to apps mentioned here already, you can try out @Voice Aloud for reading PDF and some other formats. Google Docs can be a good document editer. My Profile is a good profile manager. Ones some unlabeled buttons are labeled, Times of India can be handy. Although most flight/hotel booking apps have accessibility issues, I find Clear Trip to be the better of the lot. Likewise, Mobi Kwik is better when it comes to mobile recharge/bill pay though there are minor accessibility issues. Mytuner is a good radio app. Best,
