The Moto E6 is the latest Motorola cell phone. While many of us are still waiting for the coveted company flagship phone, which could be the Motorola One Pro since it was not the Moto Z4Motorola continues with a great focus on offering value and not necessarily the best of the best.
That said, the Motorola Moto E6 arrives to complement what the company has offered with the Moto G7, by providing different features present there but at a lower price.
The Moto E6 continues to offer an Android experience as pure as the Moto G7 and also brings functions such as the possibility to take photos in portrait mode (blurred background) and even allow a specific area of the image to be colored, while everything from ms is black and white.
The rear camera of the Moto E6 is 13 megapixels with an aperture of f / 2.0, while the front camera is 5 megapixels.
Similar to Moto G7 Power, The Moto E6 has a plastic body but it feels and looks a little cheaper.
Another important sacrifice that Motorola made to achieve the low price of the Moto E6 is in the use of the microUSB port instead of USB-C as most modern cell phones; Nor does it have NFC to make mobile payments.
Also, the screen of the Moto E6 is suitable with its resolution HD + that although it does not have the smallest bezels we have seen in the market, they are also not the largest. In addition, since its aspect ratio is 18: 9, the cell phone is relatively comfortable in the hand.
The Moto E6 has a 13 megapixel rear camera.

The other aspects of the cell phone are not as outstanding as it has a Snapdragon 435 processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage with a microSD slot.
In addition, this Motorola cell phone has a 3,000mAh battery that together with its HD + screen and its processor can offer a whole day of use without many problems.
The Motorola Moto E6 phone cannot be charged wirelessly and is not waterproof, but it is understandable considering its price. Motorola says this cell phone is splash resistant, just like most cell phones it has launched in recent years.
In general, the Moto E6 is not surprising but it is postulated as an interesting option for those who want to buy a cheap cell phone, or who would like to buy a Moto G7 but are not willing to pay more.
