Moto G6 review

05 June 2018
Motorola may have changed ownership a few times already, but the iconic Moto G series not only survived the turmoil but thrived. Cheap yet powerful is a very lucrative smartphone niche and lately all makers are making the run for it. Does the Moto G6 hits the sweet spot? Let's find out!

    Lenovo had done it wrong this time.

    G6 play should have gone for this soc the 450 snapdragon
    G6 for the 625
    G6 Plus for the 660.

    This phone will only be attractive when price goes down

        Moto / Lenovo have one of the worst update support out of all the major brands. My expensive Vibe x3 had 2 security updates and 1 OS update, that's all. If you like updates and/or after sales support I would never rely on Moto / Lenovo.

          Gsmarena from where do you claim the 2 years of software updates?
          Last I heard Moto had reduced it to just one year.
          Ever since being purchased by Lenovo Moto has gone downhill.

            All moto phones coming with Pure Android. I understands their software section is very poor. Lot of features can be added in a phone like this, but they are not doing it. Not even a photo Gallery app is not included. Regarding software update also, Moto is a failure. One year old g5 plus not yet received any major update.

              The Zenfone max pro m1 is leagues ahead of this phone and is still cheaper.
              AND the zenfone is part of the Android One program,so better updates too.

                motorola or Lenovo company should be gone for sd636 or 660 for the price it is selling in the Indian market considering the competition

                      Not as per expected.

                        The back of the phone looks too much like a face to me.
                        Still, looks to be a good all-round phone though.

                          Well pricing of motorola G series make no sense after moto g3.

                            Geric.770, 06 Jun 2018I wonder why GSMA roasted Lenovo Z5 on the last topic though. XDBecause the phone made by lies!

                              This is a good alternative for people buying unique phones like this without the hassle of removing decent features.

                                Shanti Dope, 06 Jun 2018Redmi 5 Plus should be included in the recommended options.... moreI wonder why GSMA roasted Lenovo Z5 on the last topic though. XD

                                  When I read the speaker part of the review...
                                  "It might even be one of the loudest phones we've tested so far! The readings of our sound level meter put the G6 in the Excellent bracket, much like the G6 Plus before it. There's no distortion at maximum volume either, and the sound comes with deep bass and rich tones".

                                  ... to me, it made the speaker seem like a "Pro" rather than a "Con"?

                                    Redmi 5 Plus should be included in the recommended options.
                                    Same SD625 chipset but has a way larger battery, for only a bit less than this Moto G6.
                                    It has no dual cameras, portrait mode or EIS and 1080p@60fps, but the latters might be added later with Android Oreo and MIUI 10 update.

                                      So ...

                                      Poor battery life, bad screen, bad camera , no EIS for 1080p@60, awful speakers, no 4K ..

                                        In Sweden Moto X4, with almost the same specs as Moto G6 Plus, cost less than Moto G6, so Moto G6 is not good value for money!
