hey I'm Jake with the verge and we're here taking a look at four new phones from Motorola in the Moto G 6 and e5 series these phones are all going to sell on the 2 to 3 hundred dollar range but while they aren't flagships they are really important phones the Moto G Series is Motorola's top seller and apparently it's the number one in its class the Moto e isn't that far behind it and this year they're even starting to look a little bit more like flagships that they have 18 by 9 displays octa-core processors and dual cameras in some cases too so let's take a look at them so this is the Moto G 6 and the Moto G 6 play the Moto G is always in Motorola's $200 or so phone line big deal this year is that there is going to feel and look like much higher in phones with 18 by 9 displays and they have these nice curved backs that really look very nice there are some differences between them the Moto G is a little bit more expensive as a higher resolution display and a dual camera lets you do all kinds of focus tricks in portrait mode the Moto G 6 play is slightly lower end it's gonna be a little bit cheaper but the big deal about this one is that it's a four thousand milliamp hour battery which Motorola says is probably the last you well beyond today so one other cool feature on the g6 is that they're a bunch of gestures built into the home button so I can swipe to the sides gets the app switcher I can just tap it to get to the home screen I can do back to navigate back a page and basically it just takes over for all the buttons that would normally be built in to the bottom of the display that was on the g5 too but it has a really pronounced effect here because by removing that we get much more screen space and it looks really really nice in this tall screen now we're taking a look at the Moto e v plus and low E v play music the little Uihlein isn't as nice as the Moto G line but it's not really the case of the Plus model and it's a big 6 inch display and the really big feature here is the battery it is a five thousand milliamp hour battery which is more even than the Moto G 6 play and motorola says gonna last you well into a second-deck Moto e 5 play on the other hand isn't quite as nice it looks a little bit older it has a 16 by 9 display with big bezels on the top and bottom that's a plastic back I usually think that both of these phones still feel really nice they're a little bit thicker the moto G line they don't feel quite as fancy and for high-end but they still seem like much nicer phones and they actually are for the price now look I totally understand if you're really confused about how all these phones break down that's why we're making this graphic right here to explain the differences between all these phones basically the Moto G's are higher-end for the most part than the Moto G's but they really do start to blur in the middle this year so if batteries your biggest concern there is some reason to look at the Moto e line over the Moto G line we're not pricing information on the Moto e line because it's going to be a tube Motorola's carrier partners they're usually any $100 or so range but motorola is hoping that with carrier discounts they might even go well below that all of these phones are supposed to be available around the same time later this spring in May or June you might have noticed that there are actually two additional phones we don't have here the g6 plus and the e5 just regular edition that's because neither of those phones are coming to the United States there might eventually but at least right now we're just starting with these four thanks for watching if you want more on the g6 and E 5 we're gonna have a ton of coverage at the verge comm if you're looking for something else to watch be sure to check out SD Nation on YouTube they're part of the same network as the verge they make a bunch of really fun sports videos so go check them out
