The Brazilian smartphone market has not seen a lot of big launches in 2018, but there are good devices available in the stores for those who need a good phone without spending a lot. Whole Cell has chosen the Galaxy J6 and the Moto G6 Play to make a quick comparison and determine the one with the best value for money.

In the following paragraphs, we will describe each device in its main characteristics and badyze the results of our tests. battery and performance, talk about cameras and screen. In the end, we discover which option, if any, represents the best option for the pair.

Before you begin, a warning: this is a guide who tries to help anyone with doubts between these two models or looking for a camera. up to R $ 1000 on the purchase. In addition to this question, we recommend reading our reviews, viewing our videos on each of them and doing a lot of research before making a decision.

The first big difference to consider between these two models is the finish. . The Galaxy J6 has a plastic body and the back is matte. The Moto G6 Play is also plastic, but of a slightly different type, and imitates the glbad in its appearance.

Both still carry a fingerprint reader on the back with simple cameras and a new format screen. The body of the J6 is a little smaller than Motorola's competitor because of the slightly smaller screen. which becomes the industry standard, 18: 9 (varies from 18.5: 9 to J6). Both models also have a headphone jack, a micro-USB port and a two-slot operator's area in addition to the micro SD card.

The Samsung speaker model is located above the power button, on the right side. The audio output of G6 Play is in the same place where the user listens to the voice of the caller during a voice call, ie it is centered between the camera and the flash on the front, the J6 also has a front flash.

As for features, the Galaxy J6 brings the Samsung Experience interface, with Android 8.0 installed, the same version of G6 Play, which nevertheless has a less modified interface, closer to the one used by Google in its pixels Pixel and Android One. less in appearance.

Samsung includes some features that are not yet natively present in the robozinho system, such as Dual Messenger and some shortcuts to access specific features. However, this model does not always display the display, which is a little different in G6 Play, called the Moto screen, which lights up when the user interacts with it. apparatus.

Our speed test showed that the G6 Play was the fastest in the pair and that he had a good margin. With only 2 GB, the Galaxy J6 contains absolutely no application for the second round, which takes even more time than the previous version. d & # 39; first. Thus, the Moto G6 Play, which already had a slightly faster lap on lap 1, left the competitor "eating dust" on lap 2 because he kept the process open.

And, as we mentioned, benchmark tests indicate that the Exynos 7870 is superior to the Snapdragon 430. Which brings us to the usual announcement, namely that the numbers are not everything, as we have seen in the test of opening the application.

If you still have doubts, G6 Play has also achieved slightly better images in the games we have tested. You can check all the tests of the Galaxy J6 and Moto G6 Play by clicking on the name of the handsets.

Next for the battery, load capacity of these two devices. While the Samsung model has only 3,000 mAh inside, the Motorola model has 4,000 mAh. As they both have a screen almost HD + size, we can imagine that the G6 Play enjoys greater autonomy.

But this is not the case. Our real-time simulation test – which is always done under the same conditions, allowing us to compare devices tested at different times – took 20 hours on J6 and ended two hours earlier on the competitor .

We see the superiority of the battery. in virtually all specific tests, with the exception of games, for which we can consider a technical draw. But the Moto G6 Play recharges faster in less than two hours, while its competitor needs almost three hours to complete the same process.

The specifications of the camera are similar low. And, in fact, both handsets offer very reasonable quality for social network photos, with good detail in small resolutions and acceptable noises in low light conditions.

However, there are very clear differences between the photos taken with each device, and it is good to take note of that. The Galaxy J6 delivers results with faded colors and low contrast. Problems that you can correct in an edition or with a filter, of course. The Moto G6 Play already offers brighter colors and a little more contrast.

When it comes to tuning, you have to be patient. Touching the screen to help the device understand where the main object is is good advice for improving the quality of your photos, especially with more basic devices like these.

In video, we have a digital stabilization in both cases, and there will be some good shakes if you shoot by hand. But for "homemade" videos, it's a good size.

Galaxy J6

As we already mentioned, the dimensions of the screens are not very different, with only 0.1 inches less on the Galaxy J6.The ratio is also slightly different, which translates into a 40 pixels higher resolution of the Samsung model.But they both bring what has become known as HD +, which is nothing more than the 720p stretched from one side.

Regarding the quality, we have a deeper black on the Super AMOLED J6.But these are good quality screens, taking into account the price of each device, with a sufficient brightness for use in the street and not too strong for use in dimly lit environments, without hurting your eyes too much.

Galaxy still allows some calibration settings. , with more options than the only two preprogrammed offered by Moto G6 Play. Anyone who likes to play in the color options of the device itself will be better served with the J6. Which, however, does not have automatic brightness.

At the time of writing this article, the difference in price between these two devices, given the lowest price of Brazilian online retail, is as follows: it will have to adjust the brightness in depending on the environment in which it is located. is about $ 100. For the group in which they meet, it's a good economy to do.

The Galaxy J6 may have been slightly lower in most tests, but its lower price makes it more attractive than its competitor. If you are the device for which you invest the most, you should not regret it, even if the battery life is a little shorter.

Whatever it is, this comparison is just a little more information to help those who are looking for a new smartphone and considering spending less than $ 1,000. Both are good choices and unfortunately we will leave you the choice. In addition, do not forget to consult our reviews for each of these devices, if you have not seen them.
