Moto G6 – 32 GB – Unlocked (AT&T/Sprint/T-Mobile/Verizon) – Black – Prime Exclusive Phone

This phone hits the sweet spot of quality vs. price. It has all the important and essential features you need, and skips the stuff that isn’t important from the high-end flagship phones. It works on every US carrier. You can spend more another Android phone but are unlikely to get one much better than this.

Note: Review is for the unlocked G6, but not a Prime Exclusive G6.

– Very solid build quality. It doesn’t feel super premium the way a Galaxy or iPhone does, but it feels high end and looks great.

– The camera is much improved from the Moto G4. Practically speaking this is the biggest improvement in the phone. The camera no longer feels low-end. The new camera features like spot color work easily. The main weakness of previous MotoG phones have been addressed.

– Performance is very good. No lag, everything is responsive.

– Screen looks great.

– The screen size is narrower than before. This is not an improvement IMO and does take a bit of an adjustment. But after a day or two it’s irrelevant.

– As in the past, the Moto gestures are super handy. These are simple and immediately useful.

– Fingerprint scanner and facial recognition work without a hitch.

– USB-C is very nice to have, and fast charging is appreciated. A standard headphone jack is nice to have too.

– Motorola continues to run a clean version of Android with only a couple Moto utilities added on. This is far better than most other manufacturers like Samsung.

– The biggest negative is the back of the phone. Yes it looks nice. But it’s glass, which is pointless and a liability. And the back has curved edges that are so smooth the phone is easy to slip through your hand. Thankfully both of these things are handled but getting a case for the phone.

– I read that people don’t like how Motorola doesn’t promise more than one updated Android version. If this is important to you, you pretty much have to spend 2 or 3 times what this device costs. This seems a minor complaint IMO. You will get a solid 18-36 months out of this phone before you start to feel ready for something new and improved.
