Tech Giant, Motorola has been making boss moves this year and it isn't hard to see why. After years of hiatus, It needs to re-assert itself as a force to reckon with in the world of technology.

Admittedly, the G6 is a phone with lots of potentials. This 5.7in device is a bargain for its money. Moto G6 is about $287 (£220).

Design




The phone is embroidered with Corning Gorilla 3 both in the front and at the back. This means that the phone does not harbor dirt and scratch cannot affect the phone easily. Also, the phone possesses an 18:9 ratio which affords a user wider screen to watch videos on their phone.


Moto G6 is limited and it can easily fit in a pocket. The phone design looks similar to Samsung Galaxy S9. It sports a USB-C port and a headphone jack. They are found at the bottom of the phone. The phone sports a home button beneath the display. It also serves as the phone's fingerprint scanner.




Hardware





The device sports a 12-MP + 5 MP rear camera. The front camera is 8MP or 16MP depending on the variant.  Furthermore, the battery capacity is 3000mAh. That's about 62 hours of no to light usage.


Moto's fast charging feature, Turbo Power is embedded in the phone. Therefore, the phone can charge from 0-100 within just under 2 hours.


The phone sports Qualcomm Snapdragon 450. It possesses Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) Adreno 506. Also, its Central Processing Unit (CPU) is Octa-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A53. Interestingly, It is the company's newest mid-range processor and that's a great improvement for a budget phone.
