Whats the processor of MOTO E 2015 3G? - E 2015 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In official specs sheet it's written Moto E 2015 3G has snapdragon 200 quadcore @ 1.2Ghz with Adreno 302
whereas,
CPUZ and other apps show that it's snapdragon 400 quadcore @ 1.2ghz with Adreno 305.
Since Adreno 305 supports only snapdragon 400 and not 200...so which spec sheet is correct.
I believe latter is correct but can motorola make a such big blunder??

It's a Qualcomm MSM8212.
The Snapdragon marketing names are rather meaningless (since so many different SOCs have the same name). Technically, Qualcomm decided to call it a Snapdragon 200, but it is about equivalent in performance to some of the numerous different SOCs all called Snapdragon 400.

So which one is it. 200 or 400
I will be really exited if it is latter.

Honestly there is a whole lot of confusion coz it's model is MSM8926 which supports Adreno 305 but then its Board is MSM8610 is snapdragon 200 with Adreno 302.
So Nothing is clear for now...

As mentioned on Official Qualcomm site
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/snapdragon/smartphones/motorola-moto-e-2nd-gen-3g
its a sd 200 processor
Also following site specs says that sd 200 processor supports USB OTG

Did anyone read what I wrote? It's an MSM8212!

CPU-Z does not yet recognize the CPU, so it reports the model incorrectly. It's an MSM 8212.

@squid2
so you are telling sd 200 is actually sd 400 ? Any references for this? article, posts, blogs etc !!

No. The MSM8212 is called a "Snapdragon 200" by Qualcomm, but that is completely irrelevant.
There are numerous different SoCs all called Snapdragon 200 and 400. The MSM8926 in the Moto G is called a Snapdragon 400 by Qualcomm. The MSM8212 is called a Snapdragon 200. But they are effectively the same thing, with different names. The 8212 and 8926 have about the same performance. The only difference between the 8926 and the 8212 is the GPU. The 8926 has an Adreno 305, while the 8212 has an Adreno 302. The 305 in the 8926 and 302 in the 8212 are about the same in performance though (maybe a 15% difference if at all any).
Just to reiterate:
The Moto E 3G has an MSM8212. The MSM 8212 is marketed as a "Snapdragon 200", though that doesn't mean anything. The MSM8212 is pretty much the same as the MSM8926 in the Moto G, which is marketed as a "Snapdragon 400". They both have the same processor cores, and equivalent GPUs. Forget about the Snapdragon names, they are meaningless.

@squid2
for moto e2 3g following site specs says that sd 200 processor supports USB OTG
https://www.qualcomm.com/products/sn...processors/200

The SoC supports USB OTG, but Motorola didn't include a 5V boost regulator (at least on the 3G model). The boost regulator is necessary to provide the 5V that USB peripherals require.

Hi @squid2
otg with external 5v power supply.
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Micro-USB-Ho...3?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3f44b938c9
will it work?

I don't know, sorry. It might work.

According to http://www.xda-developers.com/moto-e-2nd-gen-2015-device-review/ OTG should work with that cable.
