Moto G6 Review :Should you buy it?


The design language of the Moto G6 series is relatively similar to the phones that have gone before it, so if you own a Moto G5 or Moto G5S you’ll recognize a lot of the look and feel of the handset.
Moto’s G6 Plus is the most premium of the three with the Moto G6 sitting in the middle and the G6 Play being an even more affordable handset that doesn’t feel quite as high-end as the other two phones in the series.
There’s 3D glass on both the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Plus, while the G6 Play has a polymer material on the back.
Each phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a USB-C port at the bottom edge of the phone (except the G6 Play which sticks with micro USB).
The edges on the rear of each are also curved to make it fit in your palm easily and still feel comfortable.
There’s no waterproofing technology here though, so don’t attempt to take your phone into the shower with you if you buy a Moto G6 handset.
Every Moto G6 device has a fingerprint sensor, but the normal handset and the Moto G6 Plus have them below the screen while the Moto G6 Play has it on the rear of the phone.
Exactly what colors will be available in each market are currently unclear, so we’ll be sure to update this article when we know more about the color choices for the entire Moto G6 series.
Moto G6 display
To keep up with current top-end trends, the Moto G6 family all sport an 18:9 ratio display much like the iPhone X or the Samsung Galaxy S9. The screen quality won’t be as good, but it looks similar to a longer design on each of the three handsets.
The Moto G6 comes with a 5.7-inch IPS LCD with Full HD resolution at 1080 x 2160. That’s 424 pixels per inch and is a similar quality to what we saw on the Moto G5S albeit a different size.
Then there’s the Moto G6 Plus that sports a 5.93-inch IPS LCD display with the same resolution of 1080 x 2160 but a lower pixel per inch count of 407. It’s a touch larger though so you may prefer it if you’re looking for a larger phone.
Lastly, the Moto G6 Play is the same size as the Moto G6 with a 5.7-inch screen, but the resolution is lower at 720 x 1440, which equals 282 pixels per inch. Basically, don’t go for this one if you’re looking for gorgeous picture quality.
Moto G6 specs and performance
Here’s another area where the three handsets are set to differ widely too. It’s important to remember the Moto G6 range is about getting as much spec on a phone for an affordable price, so this doesn’t feature any top-notch processing power.
The most powerful is the Moto G6 Plus that comes with a mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 chipset inside and we’ve seen this chipset perform well in handsets like the Sony Xperia XA2.
Some markets will have access to a 6GB of RAM version with 64GB of storage, but we don’t currently know where that’ll land.
It’s more likely you’ll be able to buy the 4GB RAM version with 64GB of storage or the 3GB RAM with 32GB of storage. We don’t expect you’ll need 6GB of RAM inside your Moto G6 Plus to get satisfactory power.
Next up is the Moto G6 with a Snapdragon 450 chipset inside, which is the same tech inside the newly announced Honor 7C. This won’t be as snappy as the Plus variant, but we hope it’ll still hold its ground.
That comes with the choice of 4GB RAM with 64GB of storage, or you can drop down to 3GB RAM with 32GB of storage for a slightly lower price.
Finally, there’s the Moto G6 Play, which will be the weakest of the three handsets but we still expect to see some suitable performance from its Snapdragon 430 chipset. We liked how that performed on last year’s Nokia 6, so we’ve gone high hopes for how it’ll work in the G6 Play.
You’re more limited in your choice of RAM and storage here though with the two options being 32GB internal with 3GB of RAM or a measly 16GB of storage with 2GB RAM.
All three phones have microSD support up to 256GB, so if you buy one that’s too small for your tastes you can always insert a card for a bit of extra storage.
