Moto G6 review: Value-for-money smartphone with premium design, features

Moto G6 review - Motorola, a Lenovo-owned smartphone manufacturer, recently refreshed its affordable Moto G-series with the launch of the Moto G6 in India. The smartphone is the first Moto device to sport a tall screen, which has become a common feature in smartphones launched in 2018.

The Moto G6 seems to be a value for money proposition, at least on paper. However, does it tick all the right boxes when it comes to real life scenarios? Let’s find out:

Moto G6 design

The Moto G6 features a classic Motorola design with metal chassis sandwiched in between the front and back glasses. The glass design looks premium and the phone feels solid in hand. However, just like any other glass-based smartphone, the phone’s back is a fingerprint magnet that dulls its sheen and makes it look greasy.

Moto G6 performance
The Moto G6 is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 system-on-chip (SoC), paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. The phone boots Android Oreo out of the box with no bloatware pre-installed and vanilla interface reminiscent of Pixel smartphones. 
Moto G6 cameran terms of imaging, the phone’s dual camera set up on the back features a 12-megapixel primary sensor, mated with a 5MP depth-sensing lens.
Moto G6 featuresPowering the Moto G6 is a 3,000 mAh battery that keeps the show going for one day and some more. Interestingly, the phone comes bundled with a fast charger that replenishes the battery from 0-100 per cent in less than two hours.
Moto G6 review verdictPriced at Rs 15,999, the Moto G6 is a premium looking device that ticks almost all the right boxes. The phone sports a modern screen, front facing fingerprint sensor, dual cameras on the rear, glass build, USB type-C port and a sort of water resistance, which might save the phone from accidental splashes.
All these features make the G6 a value-for-money proposition in the midrange segment.
