Motorola Lenovo Android

Introduction

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 one way or the other. Does the Moto G6 hit the sweet spot? Let's find out!

The Moto G6 is the most balanced offer among the new Moto G6 trio with Play and Plus being the moderate and boosted options. So, as far as being in the middle - Moto G6 is already there.

Lenovo introduced the trendy tall screen to the Moto G6 series, as well as a dual-camera capable of native portrait shots. New glass design and modern chipset should make the G6 as compatible as possible.

There are no headphones inside the Moto G6's box, but you can use any pair thanks to the available audio jack.
