Moto G6: Reliable performer with good looks in a budget

Launched at Rs 13,999 for 3GB RAM and 32GB Storage, Moto G6 offers a Full HD + "Max Vision".

In India, Motorola, owner of Lenovo, added a larger screen and visibly improved the design language of the new Moto G6. It's essentially a successor to the hugely popular Moto G5 and is trying to fill in the gaps left by its predecessor. Launched at Rs 13,999 for 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, Moto G6 features a "Max Vision" Full HD + – an edge-to-edge display with an 18: 9 aspect ratio. for an immersive experience and built-in Dolby Audio preset modes. Amidst a sea of ​​budget features, should you consider Moto G6? Here is what we think.

The Moto G6 is wrapped in a scratch-resistant, scratch-resistant Corning Gorilla Glbad glbad, with slightly contoured sides that effortlessly enter the palm. The way he caught the light when he was being held was impressive. The 5.7-inch FHD + is a step forward from the all-metal Moto G5 and has also resulted in better network connectivity. With its slightly curved back, it is perhaps the most comfortable and best sized smartphone, easy to use from one hand.

We particularly appreciated the placement of the fingerprint sensor on the front that can be depressed and unlock the device. The scanner was accurate and quite catchy.

There was this one-button navigation gesture – typical of Motorola – that the company started presenting well before Google planned to deploy the feature with Android P Operating System (OS). A major upgrade from the previous budget devices to the Moto G6 is the USB Type-C port. The standard 3.5mm headphone jack is located at the bottom of the phone.

The main 12 megapixel camera with 5 megapixel secondary rear sensor allows portraits to be made with Bokeh effects. The photos, including the portraits, were good. The images had accurate colors and were fairly detailed when taken in favorable lighting conditions. The selfies taken on the phone are also well released in well-lit conditions.

The device is powered by a 3000mAh battery with the company's exclusive "TurboPower" charger that powered the phone from 0 to 100 percent in one – half an hour thanks to the optimization Motorola hardware, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset worked well and handled the daily tasks smoothly

What did not work?

Photos taken under low light conditions had gritty air. We were able to charge the battery quickly but it quickly ran out. We managed to oust nearly 12-13 hours on a single charge. Conclusion: Considering the overall performance, design and construction quality, we can easily say that it is an excellent value for money that coincides with the good boxes. We recommend the phone to those looking for a good Android stock experience without having to spend a lot on a smartphone.
