Motorola Moto G6

While it may have sounded less than its competitors, Motorola has renewed its Moto G family this year with his sixth generation, and the Moto G6 has been placed in the middle of the Play and Plus versions, although for the first time, we'll talk about it again.

Honor 7A Premium

We tend to focus on the most popular brands without realizing that some new players, even if they have existed for some time, also have good alternatives. One of them is the personification of the Honor 7A, a phone that here is in its Premium versionwhich means that the RAM reaches 3 GB, thus improving the overall performance of the device.

With its strengths and weaknesses, we have a very comfortable phone in hand, powerful enough for everyday life and it offers us a very high sound quality to be a phone that, for the moment, we buy for 150 euros. No doubt a model to consider for future purchases.
