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.
