Motorola Moto E6 smartphone review

Competition in the telecommunications equipment market is getting tougher every year, and the pace is, of course, set by the best manufacturers of various devices. Companies strive to release the most perfect, functional, convenient and attractive device, striving to win the consumer's trust and attention.

Motorola, a former American company now taken over by corporations Google and Lenovo, and having lost its previous positions, still keeps up with the giants in the world of technologies, regularly releasing more and more new devices on the market, among them the Motorola Moto E6.

The expectation of a new smartphone from a well-known company always gives rise to a lot of rumors. Users make assumptions about the specs, appearance, functionality and performance of the expected device. Information about a particular part of the smartphone gets into the network, which leads to even more discussions and guesses. This did not pass the Motorola Moto E6 smartphone, the announcement of which was promised for 2019.

However, there is still no exact date for the release of the smartphone. According to unofficial data, the company planned to present the device on June 30, later the date was postponed to July 4. The delay in the announcement is fueling rumors that are circulating around the new device. The Internet is full of guesses, resources regularly add news stories about the E6, building more and more new assumptions about what the functionality of the new smartphone will be, how efficient and reliable it will be. We have collected the most complete information about the upcoming Moto E6.

Common parameters

Smartphone design and dimensions

Thanks to the photos of the promised Motorola Moto E6 smartphone that appeared on the network, today we can see what it will be like.

Plastic was chosen as the material for the device body. The color scheme of the line will include gray and gold.

The display of the Moto E6 is framed by rather thick bezels, which speaks of the company's refusal to follow trends and create devices without bezels. The corporate badge of the company is located below, on the “chin” of the phone.

The top is equipped with a selfie camera and a 3.5mm headphone jack. All buttons - volume control and power button - are located on the right side of the device. The left side is given over to slots for SIM-cards and microSD.

The back of the device is flat and matte. Equipped with a round camera with a flash underneath. The Motorola badge, located just above the middle of the back cover, will serve as a fingerprint scanner.

Accurate information on the location of the microUSB port and speakers at the moment, but most users assume that they are assigned to the bottom of the smartphone.

Smartphone dimensions:

• Width 71 mm (7.1 cm);
• Height 149 mm (14.9 cm);
• Weight 168 gr.

In terms of design and size, the Moto E6 is a budget compact smartphone.

Screen

While the world is phasing out 5-inch devices, the Moto E6 will feature a 5.45-inch IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen display, again leading to Motorola's reluctance to match the current market. wide screen without frames. Expansion of the display HD + (720X1440 pixels), Pixel density ~ 295 ppi density. The ratio of the screen to the overall dimensions of the device is approximately 72.5%.

However, the company decided to follow one popular value: the aspect ratio of the smartphone is 18: 9, as on most devices on the modern market.

In general, the smartphone screen looks simple, ordinary and familiar, without rounded edges, bangs and cutouts, which causes positive feedback from many waiting for the announcement of the device. Also nice is the fact that IPS LCD provides comfortable work with the device in the sun.

But for all the advantages for watching movies, most users prefer to choose larger screens, so by releasing a model with a 5-inch screen, the company is likely to lose a large share of the market.

Cameras

Motorola convinces us of its decision to stick to the "classics" in matters of the cameras of its new device: more and more information appears on the network, which is one camera at the back and one in front.

The rear 13-megapixel camera is accompanied by an LED flash. The characteristics of the camera include the possibility of panoramic shooting, shooting in high definition (HDR) and video recording at 1080p (30 frames per second). Regular glass protects the camera matrix.

The front camera was awarded 5 megapixels, without receiving any additional bonuses.

At the moment, it is impossible to say with certainty how the Moto E6 photographs at night, since the example of the photo has still hit the network, but there are suggestions that thanks to the LED flash, night shots can be very good.

There is also no information about the availability of autofocus, but the popularity of this function in most devices in recent years suggests that it will also be included in this novelty.

Sound

At the moment there is no information about the installed speakers and, moreover, the sound quality of the new Motorola model. But it is worth remembering the legendary Roker E6, released by the company in the days of its former glory, which was almost ideal in terms of sound characteristics among phones of those years. The latest models, for example, the G6, equipped with Dolby Audio and three microphones. Based on these nuances, it is worth hoping that the sound in the Moto E6 will be really high quality.

Price

It is impossible to say exactly how much the new model will cost at the moment. It is assumed that the estimated cost of new items will be about 6800 rubles. Thus, Moto E6 will be in the segment of the budget price category.

Specifications

CPU

The hardware platform of Motorola Moto E6 is represented by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor, which belongs to the mid-price segment. The nanometric process technology of this platform is 28, which ensures a rather nimble operation of the device and is quite suitable for active games.

The processor is equipped with a graphics chip Adreno 505. The CPU of the device promises to be eight-core, with a frequency of 1.4 GHz, which, by modern standards, is not at all a large value.

The manufacturer has chosen the standard version of Android 9 Pie as software, but there are rumors that the interface will be slightly changed, and it is also planned to introduce several new features typical for Motorola.

In general, the hardware platform Moto E6 has a relatively weak performance, which is why this smartphone will most logically be characterized as a device for work and performing standard daily tasks.

Memory

The RAM of the novelty will be only 2 GB, again leading us to the conclusion about the simplicity of the device. The built-in storage of the device has two options - 16 and 32 GB. Fortunately, Motorola decided not to give up the possibility of installing microSD - the smartphone will have a slot for additional storage up to 256 GB.

Communications

The new smartphone from Motorola supports all the most basic connections and standards of the network and the Internet:

• WLAN (Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n, Wi-Fi Direct, hotspot);
• GPS (A-GPS, GLONASS, BDS);
• Radio (FM radio);
• MicroUSB 2.0;
• Bluetooth (4.2, A2DP, LE);

The device will be released in two forms - with and without Dual SIM, which is quite convenient, since at one time buyers overpayed for the opportunity to use the device they liked, even if they did not need a slot for a second SIM card. The expected size of the SIM card is NanoSIM, but Motorola has repeatedly shown that their priority is to adhere to the standards of past years, so it is likely that we will see a slot for a medium sized SIM card.

The devices will support GSM standards (operates at 850MHz, 900MHz, 1800MHz, 1900MHz), which are used in most countries of the world. 3G and LTE support is also available.

Battery

Moto E6 promises to hit the market with a lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 4000 mAh. Quite a good indicator: with such a volume with an average level of use, the phone can withstand up to two days without recharging. However, it is impossible to say unequivocally: the amount of time a device spends on a single charge depends not only on the capacity and type of processor, but also on the internal content, applications used in the background, and much more.

Active use of a battery with such a capacity will discharge it in about 6-7 hours, and standby mode in 6-7 days. This autonomy attracts many users.

The new battery, as in most modern devices, will not be removable, which will make it impossible to replace it yourself.

Sensors and additional functions

The novelty is equipped with a standard set of sensors such as an accelerometer, proximity light sensors, gyroscope, compass, etc. In addition, there is a fingerprint sensor located on the back of the smartphone, which serves to secure and unlock the device.

Equipment

To date, users assume that the smartphone will be delivered as standard: a device, the necessary documents and instructions, branded headphones and a charger. The length of the cord is unknown, but based on the average, a 1 meter cable should be expected.

To summarize: the pros and cons of the Motorola Moto E6 smartphone

• Large battery capacity;
• High-quality screen;
• Availability of all the necessary communication and communication standards;
• Simplicity, familiar look, no excess;
• Compactness;
• Average price, relatively adequate value for money;
• Satisfactory performance.

• Small screen size;
• Simplicity, no design features;
• Weak processor;
• Small amount of RAM and internal memory;
• A small number of sensors and additional functions;
• Comparatively weak camera
• There is no NFC, wireless charging and many popular features today.

Most of the disadvantages and advantages are purely objective, therefore indicators such as "characteristics" and "simplicity" are indicated in both lists. Indeed, for some, the frequency of the processor of this device will be quite convenient and fast, but, for example, for fans of powerful games this will not seem enough.

Simplicity, in turn, also attracts not everyone: many prefer a special appearance, unusual color or shape of a smartphone.

Thus, users are divided into two camps: some support the new Motorola, considering that in terms of price-quality ratio it will be one of the few successful smartphones. Others argue that devices of this type are outdated and want to see something more modern, keeping up with the development of technology.

The criteria for choosing a device are different for each of us. And it is too early to make an unambiguous conclusion about the new device from Motorola.Perhaps the Moto E6 will amaze customers and take an honorable place in the list of the highest quality models.
