I got two important questions in getting a mid-range phone: Which comoany would you put trust on when it comes to quicker/timely updates especially major Android updates & security updates: Motorola or Samsung?
Does the Moto G6 have any kind of electronic or digital image or video stabilization in the camera?

Honest review about G6 available in India (Version: 4GB, 64GB, Deep Indigo Black)
Strong Positives:
1. BUILD:
18:9 aspect ratio with Dolby speakers and front mount fingerprint sensor that gives you an upper hand to check notifications without lifting the phone as well as it works as One Key Navigation that makes the functioning smooth. Sides are curved which helps the phone to fit well when held. 3D Glass back gives a premium look. Somehow G6 still has 3.5 mm Headphone Jack which is not in every case. Power button has a texture to differentiate with the volume strip. It comes with Type C reversible USB port.
Worst part is the the body is very slippery, if kept in a 35-45 degree inclination it may slip and fall. I found it a little thick and heavy but that's not a major issue.
2. CAMERA:
Camera is good but pictures are over saturated and the Image Stabilizer is average. Smart feature of camera includes Google Lens that can search details for objects or buildings. Low light photos are not at all good.
3. BATTERY: (Major Drawback)
Though a 3000mAh battery it SUCKS. It drains out so fast you will feel cheated with the performance of the battery though the box comes with the TurboCarger Adapter but i personally feel atleast it should work for 16 hours of battery if you extensively use it for watching Videos and surfing net.
4. PERFORMANCE:
After the battery the second major drawback can be the processor i.e. Snapdrogon 450 while variants of other companies gives Snapdrogon 600+ chip set.
Face Unlock is okay. You can even unlock with MotoVoice. Motorola's flagship features like "chop-chop" for flashlight, "quick 180 turn" for camera mode are intact. AI camera feature which is in other devices are missing.
Overall i would give 4.1 out of 5 (i wanted to give 4.5 but battery issue is very serious).

Moto G6 15 day user opinion :-
If you are an Indian 2G user then re-think twice before buying this mobile,
I am facing 'No Network' issues on B8 (900Mhz) band. In other words
Moto G6 has poor signal gain on 2G mode.
With 2G signal strength below -90dbm, my Moto G6 shows 'No Service'
all the time with all service provider SIM.

Why is it so thick? Understandable if it were a 4000mAh battery, it's only 3000mAh.

After 4 days of usage...
Adaptive brightness- is so choppy while changing brightness...jumping from 90 to 50% instant, without some fade effect.
Many, many, many times after i close sone tab that have some audio content, speaker will blast some weird sound, even if i did not play that content.
Also, sensor that change brightness is so slow..
Camera in nigh conditions is crap.

I think the G6 is better than fanny land. It had plenty of layers just like a cabbage patch kid. Love it,

Ordered and recieved my phone within 20 hours of ordering it on 19th Jun. This review is based on my experince of using the phone for two days so far.
Amazon is amazing at secure delivery of such costly items..They send OTP on the number associated with the account and we have to give that OTP to the deliveryman to
recieve the product..Thats incredible security if you think of it.
The box contains the phone, headphones, user manual, sim ejector tool and a turbo charger with a fast charging cable.
Unlike many other reviews here, I have no problem getting the sim tray out with the sim ejector tool provided with the product.
The sim tray has three slots, two for nano sims and one for the memory card. I have purchased a sandisk 128 GB card w this phone to maximize my memory and it works
very fine with total 192 GB memory (64 GB internal plus 128 GB card).
The phone is bulky to an extent but not a problem for me. I'm a rough user (broke front glass of RedMi 4 by dropping it off)..So purchased a transparent back cover for
199 from Amazon as well.
Screen size is so perfect at 5.7 inches.. Optimal not to make it look like a phablet or cheap chinese phone..At the same time very perfect for viewing movies or videos
using youtube or other streaming apps like netflix, zee5, altbalaji or amazon prime/hotstar.
I had three basic criteria in mind before selecting this phone.
1- Good camera esp for selfies
2- 4 Gb or 6 GB RAM w 64 GB internal memory.
3- Good batterey w esp fast charging option
All these criteria meet in this phone...Yes the camera remains the weakest of the three points..Pics are too hot in color (too loud colors- too colorfull pictures)
and built in camera app is not good at all.. There is some confusion regarding MotoG6 front camera MPs..as its western models like US/UK have 8 MP selfie camera but the Indian version I am using has a 16 MP front camera...
I tried using various apps to click and was happy w two or three of them so far.. B612 clicks the best pics w this camera...In my opinion.
On memory front, its perfect ..We get 56.62 GB internal memory out of 64 GB..Better than other phones..
Minimum bloatware...No worries there..
Speed is excellent as well..Multi tasking is flawless..
Battrey remains the biggest plus point of these three criteria as its 3000 MAh..Able to charge the phone fully in less than 90 minutes!!Thats incredible!!
But battrey drains fast as well..If you have a charger around...Should not be a problem at all!
Setting up this phone can be boring.. In my phone google play store was not working..Despite a jio sim inside..Auto updates and play store updates were too buggy and
slow..I had to force stop the play store app..Didnt work..Deleted app data didnt work..Then I cancelled all updates and deleted them from upper right corner in app
info of the app..Didnt work for a minute..Then my apps started to download without a problem..So this method can be useful to you when you face the same problem in
setting the phone up.
Another seting up problem I faced was in the gmail accounts..When adding a new email account..The app takes an awful lot of time..It can test patience as we need at
least one gmail account to set the phone up and use play store..After a few tries..It began working..
Pleasent surprise is dolby sound!
Its really good w the headphones provided ...Use both ears and the experience is just incredible w dolby.
Internet connectivity and downloads work even with calls on..Whatsapp works while talking on calls and play store downloads too..Other apps using net like gaana etc to
download continue to work when you are on call.
Supports jio and BSNL..Good and very stable wi-fi connectivity as well.
Overall I'd give it 4.5 out of five stars..Half star less for the camera and a bit fast draining battrey but manageable.
Definitely good value for money and I'm happy w this phone!
To sum it up..three pros and cons of this phone:
Pros-
1-DOLBY
2-Fast turbo charging
3-Good memory
Cons-
1-Battrey drains fast
2-Delicate exterior
3-Camera could have been better.

When I go to Motorola's US site, all they have are the base versions of their G6 and X4 phones (the minimum storage and RAM configurations). Until they start selling the 64GB storage and 4/6GB RAM setups here, no deal.
