Motorola Moto G6 and G6 Play review

2018-07-03
if your motorola and you made the amazing wonderful budget phone the no 35 plus last year how do you follow that up well you could start with the outside you could take away this micro USB port and put in a USB see one take the screen that's sixteen by nine and make it 18 by 9 you could take this a metallic back and replace it for a glass one add a second camera for portrait mode photos and what you have is a phone that looks decidedly 2018 but with all the things that we love about the Moto G 5 plus including the fingerprint sensor on the front I'll be a little bit thinner the Moto G 6 looks sleek and modern and you would be hard-pressed to know that this was affordable and that's exactly why I like it so much and they also kept the trackpad like gestures for the Moto G 5 plus while the moated v6 has a glass back it doesn't have wireless charging which is fine with me because it has fast charging via the USBC which is far more useful to me the dual cameras in the motor v6 take solid photos now these are not gonna be on the same level as a pixel 2 or iPhone 10 or 1 plus 6 but they're good a Motorola added a bunch of fun camera modes but didn't go too crazy the inner things are still pretty clean and simple portrait mode photos are good they're not great it does a good job separating the foreground for the background but photos still look a little flat video is 1080p no 4k no slow-mo but that's okay I am not buying this phone to shoot high-end video I'm buying this phone because it's cheap but it doesn't look cheap so does this mean that Motorola had to hike up the price to add in all this fit and finish in a word kinda ok that's not really a word but last year's defy+ without discounts was two hundred and twenty nine dollars in the US for the 32 gigabyte model the Moto G 6 without discounts is two hundred and forty nine dollars in the US for a 32 gigabyte model Hey look 20 bucks is 20 bucks but for this price it's absolutely worth it if you're still looking for something more affordable there's the Motorola g6 play it costs a hundred and ninety nine dollars in the US but it forgoes that glass back for a plastic one the USBC for a microUSB and the dual rear cameras for a single one however the Moto G 6 play has something that he 6 doesn't a big ol honkin battery the battery life on the g 6 play is impressive like the Moto G 6 there's a fingerprint reader however on the play it's on the back and it's cleverly incorporated with the Motorola logo and like its older brother it has an 18 by 9 display however it's lower resolution and there's a flash for selfies I like the Moto G six play but I think the Moto G 6 is a better value especially if you plan on having the phone for a few years you
