Motorola Moto G6 Plus review

12 May 2018
A flagship of sorts, within its own family at least, the Moto G6 Plus is the best equipped among the G6 brethren with a specsheet that covers all the bases and a price tag that won't break the bank. Another in a line of successful Moto Gs then? We'll get to that.

I had a store credit under warranty for my iphone 6s as it wouldn't hold a charge for longer than 30mins. I was initially going to replace it with the same phone. I spent a few days looking for alternatives and it was the first time not having an apple so I was hesitant. I decided I would go for the Moto G6 Plus, it has taken a few days adjusting to the android system but its no problem now. The camera quality is great, battery life is amazing and it also has quick charge so I never have to worry about my phone going flat. The touch button unlock works perfectly everytime. A few cool features that you can do to get to apps fast I learnt: you can chop the phone twice and the flashlight turns on and you also swivel the phone twice and it takes you straight to the camera (this was awesome when I went to an event the other day), very convenient. If you are unsure about this phone I assure you, you wont be disappointed. I paid $1399 NZD for my iphone 6s when it came out, I could never justify spending that much again. Moto G6 Plus cost me $579 NZD.

    Dearest friends...Good for 250 dollars but having IR,USB 3.1 and OTG,Radio rds would have increased the quality .Good news that with Google support it goes to android 9 ...Unfortunately In X place worldwide , it would be $ 1500 plus . Just good for buyers outside. X place. For others it is a good midrange ....Good luck public.

          How do you know if you have "misaligned optics"? Just the fuzziness of the images?

            It's not worth it, especially speaking of the updates. I have yet to receive android Oreo on "Moto g5 plus" (which came with android night pre-installed the last year) , while it's the time for the releasing of android 9 (which I highly doubt would ever come to this phone, considering the fcukin Lenovo'$ extra fake promises and failed hypes - yeah looking at you Z5). Btw,, android 7.0 nogut was released in 2016. Ofcourse Lenovo couldn't build a decent phone but it just brilliantly screwed the Moto series range of phones with all those dog crap product portfolio consisting of God only knows how many phones. Don't get me started on the Motorola India customer service and RMA procedure headache on DOA mobiles and defective pieces. It used to be so clean n pure n polished under Google, just being of Moto E, G and X. My 1st gen Moto G (while under Google) still runing strong, the build quality and reliability has been made so rugged, it's still one of the best built phones around but, not to say it too had it's few fare shares of issues but not as anything close to as past 2 years products. And... Coming to my Moto G5 plus's camera glass shatters from the height of 15 cms. Yes literally 15 cms, dont mention the speaker crackling, suck a$$ battery and worst of all, display burnin or ghosting images (Google) carried from Moto g4 plus to Moto g5 plus. Most of my friends and family members use Moto phones and almost all of them having atleast a few shitty issues with their mobiles.
            It's Time for Lenovo to gather their crap together, revamp and streamline their current series and do anything better until then it's time for us to move on to other better brands for even lesser price which atleast justify. Sorry if I had offended anyone, don't get me wrong. Motorola was my first phone and also it's my first smart phone from the classic Motorola Razr to moto X to Moto 360 watch.. well atleast while it was still owned by the Google. Just wanted to throw some truth from my first hand experience and unfilled expectations on now the present 'Lenovo Owned Motorola'. God knows what comes with the above reviewed Moto g6 plus and the upcoming phones. I have ton load to say, but it's not worth my time assuming anyone with half peanut sized brain would have gotten the picture by now, well if you want to know more.. just Google, duh.

            Have a good day, peace, sayonara!

                  Moto G6 Plus is kindy suprise for me. For this price is really good

                    do it support slow motion ?
                    thnx in adv.

                      Please someone help me. I've had the g6 plus for about a month and previously had the G4 plus, but I can't figure out how to use the camera. Is there a manual available? All I want to do is take a simple photo, but I must have clicked on something and it won't allow me to use the options. Totally annoying. I've looked at the stupid moto G6 plus vídeo, showing inanimate people sitting around, but gives me no info on how to use the phone features. I've watched every review, every unboxing but am not finding any helpful information.

                                  galtom, 15 May 2018I am really puzzled... Nokia 7 Plus or Moto G6 Plus? Is No... moreThe colors of nokia 7 plus are not accurate and the white are ruined by blues in srgb mode as compared to moto g6 plus which is highly accurate and even the brightness is too good. It really bothers me for a device at that price point.

                                    Anonymous, 22 May 2018Definitely doesn't blur photo's they are excellent Not everybody's unit has this defect, but both the reviewer and I had the issue. It was very pronounced, and rather disappointing. The rest of the phone is amazing though, but I will probably have to get my unit sent back/repaired.
