Moto G6 Plus Comprehensive Evaluation

The Moto G series only existed for five years, but it has been a long way since that time : not all are economical phones, but they are much cheaper than many mid-range devices like honors, and we Everything provided is impressive.

In this article, we will review the largest of the latest G phones - the 5.9-inch G6 Plus. It costs only £269/€299, but comes with a large 18:9 display, dual rear camera, face and fingerprint unlocking and fast charging.

For more information, you can also read our reviews of Moto G6 and Moto G6 Play and learn about the differences between these models.

Price And Availability

The Moto G6 Plus was launched on May 2 and can now be purchased for £269/299.

This is the most expensive G6 model - there are 219 pounds of regular G6 and 169 pounds of G6 games - but this is still a very affordable price tag, even in the case of a sharp price cut of 299 pounds will be weakened impressive Honor 9 and other competitors.

Plus is exclusively available through the UK's Handset Recycle; you can view contracts in our best Moto G6 Plus deals.

In general, you should also remember to consider the price of a case to keep your phone looking good and new, but our G6 Plus comes with a simple clear cover. Before you spend extra money, check to see if one is included in the bundle.

Design And Construction

The G6 Plus is slightly larger than the G6, but the design is almost identical. Unless you put them there, it's hard to tell which one is which.

It's slim, smooth, shiny, with a fascinating curve on the back; the back glass looks and feels good, although it's a bit slippery and prone to finger marks. We also like the ridged texture on the power button, which helps you to blindly position, although this effect is lost when the button is overwritten.

Despite the size and aspect ratio of the display: 18:9, Motorola has found the space to squeeze the fingerprint scanner on the bottom of the device (unlike the G6 Play, which has it on the back). In fact, this is so low, we found it a bit uncomfortable to bend the thumb to activate it. But many of you will use the opposite finger instead of holding your thumb, and remember that the fingerprint scanner is just one of many unlocking options, including face and voice recognition, smart unlocking and passwords.

Finally, we were shocked by how light the G6 Plus was for such a large screen device. It weighs 167 grams and is the same weight as the G6, much lighter than the iPhone 8 Plus (202 grams), which has a smaller screen.

Waterproof

G6 Plus is described as a "waterproof Nano coating" with P2i. Basically it is waterproof and not completely immersible, so try to stay away from the pool.

Color Options

Plus can be used in deep indigo (very black) and Nimbus (blue), but you may not be able to choose: for example, Handset Recycle is only blue.

Features And Specifications

Normally, the Plus model will provide a larger screen (inadvertently). But in this case, the display is only slightly larger than the normal G6 display, and there are some important differences between the models under the hood.

Screen

Let's discuss this screen first, and then continue to discuss the specifications. This is a 5.9-inch, 18:9 display - only 0.2 inches larger than the G6 - Full HD + resolution of 1080 x 2160 and a pixel density of 409ppi.

Processor, Memory And Storage

The Plus is equipped with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor instead of the regular G6 450 processor. Higher-level chips use 2.2GHz eight-core processing to better handle day-to-day work; in fact, in some side-by-side tests using G6 and G6 Plus, the Snapdragon 630 is significantly faster to open applications and load video.

(The G6 Plus comes standard with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage, while the G6 comes standard with 3GB and 32GB.)

Connection And Audio

Another small difference from the regular G6 : Plus is equipped with Bluetooth 5.0 instead of 4.2. It also has 802.11ac Wi-Fi (G6 is limited to a / b / g / n).

You will get a headphone jack - this is good news for expensive traditional headset owners. It is located at the bottom of the lower right corner of the USB-C port.

In our tests, we found that the call audio quality was a bit broken when talking normally and speaking.

Camera

In short : the G6 Plus has excellent shooting features, but the slowness of the camera app (compared to expensive phones - it's actually brighter than the G6) is a problem at some point.

You can get dual lens (12Mp / 5Mp) and portrait mode at the back. We are generally loyal fans of bokeh effects and have some benefits. With this shot, although subjectively feel less dramatic (in terms of background blur) than some of the others we have tried. Although all portrait modes are designed for still shooting, this seems to be more blurred for still shooting. Guys, keep your subject still.

Battery Life

The 6G Plus is equipped with a reasonably sized 3200mAh battery that lasts 7 hours and 42 minutes in the demanding Geek bench 4 test (and scores 3625); both results are average, but you can expect better than the actual use.

The phone also offers fast charging. In our standard test, charging from 0% for 30 minutes, it has reached 49%, very labor-saving (the battery is smaller than the ordinary G6). There is a faster charger there, please note: Honor 10 managed an amazing 65% during that time.

Software

The software is no different from regular models on regular models, so you can still get Android 8.0 Oreo and a very useful operating system version.

By convention, there is no British media coverage here.
However, Motorola does add some handy software experiences.
They are neatly included in the Moto app, where you can find gestures (Moto actions), convenient screen functions (Moto Display) and some new features such as Moto Voice (introducing always-on voice commands) and Moto Key ( Manage applications, websites and Windows passwords via a fingerprint scanner).

Unlock

Most of us rely on face unlocking, which can be understood as less reliable than Face ID, but still performs well. It's quite fast and it makes it clear who we are when we are low-light and wearing large sunglasses. But completely covering a facial feature - with one hand, one eye, mouth, etc. - prevents it from working, so the high scarf does not work well.

I think the phone recycling website Handsetrecycle.com is a great place to sell my mobile for best price. My mobile phone sales process was very simple when I sold my phone, and I received the payment on the same day.

Therefore, I highly recommend the Handsetrecycle.com website for mobile phone recycling.
