Let us see how the HTC One E8 fares against the rumored upcoming Motorola Moto E2.
The HTC One E8 launched with an optional Dual-SIM making use of Nano-SIM and dual-standby options. The E8 has an excellent display featuring a Super LCD 3 capacitive touchscreen with 16M colors.

The Motorola Moto E2 will be a 4G enabled handset, and the screen will be protected by Corning Gorilla Glass. Coming to the user interface, Motorola is well-known for providing a stock Android experience. Hence, we can be sure that it will launch with the latest version of Android v5.0 Lollipop OS with a smooth stock Android experience. Motorola will likely pose a serious threat in India to the domestic manufacturers with their 4G-enabled handset.
According to some of the rumors, we can expect a similar hardware like the Moto G. Hence, it will probably feature a 5MP-8MP rear shooter with autofocus, LED flash and other basic camera features. The HTC One E8 uses a 13 MP, 4128 x 3096 pixels, autofocus, and LED flash. Other features include Geo-tagging, Panorama, HDR, face-detection along with others.

The Adreno 330 GPU churns out a superior visual performance. If we can rely on the rumored specifications of the Motorola Moto E2, it will supposedly have a Snapdragon 400 SoC processor with 1GB of RAM.
Since it will be a budget smartphone, we can expect it to have an Adreno 305 GPU. With Motorola incorporating a dual-SIM capability in their budget devices, we can be sure that the E2 will have dual-SIM support as well. Considering all aspects, the HTC One E8 is a superior device in this comparison.
