Motorola G6 – 32 GB – Unlocked (AT&T/Sprint/T-Mobile/Verizon) – Black - (U.S. Warranty) - PAAE0000US

Terrific new phone. I have used many phones, many Android devices, and many Motorolas - this one is the best so far. *** The single most important performance upgrade to a phone is RAM *** My most previous phone was a Motorola Moto E4, a nice, simple budget phone. But the 2GBs of RAM is terribly constraining in 2019. For simple, single use, and only one or two apps running at a time, 2GB is fine. But the moment you begin using any phone with multi-tasking, 2GB RAM simply falls on its face. In the Moto E4, it would simply overheat, stumble and slow down. I drive a car with Android Auto - the combination of the Android Auto app, Waze, GPS, music and phone calls was simply too much for 2GB RAM, and the phone would regularly freeze or simply reset. Yuk.Enter this Moto G6 Play. Screen is 5.7" diagonal, but most importantly, 18:9 dimensions, so it's just as wide as the E4, but significantly more real estate for maps, words, and best of all, for modern 2.4:1 widescreen movies. The screen is only 720p but don't be fooled - after a few minutes you'll never notice the loss of resolution, and 720p only lights up a quarter of the pixels of 1080p, a significant power savings.Oh and re: power? This battery is 4000mah combined with the low power screen and a quad core CPU - it will last 3 days of light use, 2 days of regular use, and 1 full day of INSANE use (you know who you are). Really remarkable. But the key is the 3GB RAM in this phone - it simply doesn't stumble or balk or hesitate under most loads. The only thing which will cause it to tremble is heavy gaming, so I wouldn't recommend that - but light gaming works fine (low graphics setting).It also runs Android 8, a nice, solid, last-gen OS, with most of the bugs worked out.Easy in the hand, great screen, clear speaker, smooth operator under most loads - heck, it even comes with a "turbo" high amp charger, really a useful tool. My experience is that Motorola phones last a long time.And for the cost of an iPhone X you can get SIX of these! It even works on all carriers - even Sprint (my carrier). The dirty little secret is this guy is really all most folks need.Highly recommended.

This will be my 1st ever Motorola phone , I was using a Blu life one x2 that ran android 6.1. This moto G6 blows that one out of the water . Better screen , more ram and the latest android OS . I waited 3 weeks before submitting my review just in case , well I can not find a single flaw . I read that some units experienced sound issues , not on my unit .My upgrade did not go flawlessly how ever, I am using this phone on consumer cellular and what I thought would be a easy upgrade was not . !st issue was that my old phone used a micro sim , this phone uses a nano sim , so I had to order a new sim which cost me nothing but the time it took to arrive in the mail. So be advised You will need a nano sim.The second issue was sending pictures with text messages , I could not do so because that phone was not configured .But a call to my provider and having them email Me the setting to enter in fixed that issue ( hardly the phones fault )What I have noticed is more bars on the mobile side using this phone . The call quality has went up . My camera picture quality has vastly improved and for the price is very good . I have no real complaints here and no buyers remorse . I did consider getting the 3GB ram version but IMO the higher end model will be worth it especially when they release the newest android version latter on , better to have and not need , then to need and not have .Battery life is ok , I am not joined to the hip with my phone so I am not constantly using it but I can get 4 days of standby and lite use per charge .

I want to upfront say something about WiFi calling and this amazing device: I had a SIM form a company that uses AT& T towers, which unbeknownst to me were frequently down in my area. I was able to make calls and use internet, text and did not notice anything amiss for the first couple of days after activating Moto - until 2 nights in a rowI had 0 bars, no cellular service, at my home.I then noticed no LTE emblem either, just 2-3 bars when it was functioning. After much ado and online chats and a trip to Target for a new SIM, it was discovered the culprit was AT&T and the fix was to switch me to T-Mobile.But - Moto had AUTOMATICALLY gone into WiFi calling, I did nothing - and I am lame in technology so unsure who or what they used for this WiFi service, but I was all over town able to apparently make WiFi calls - not just at my home base. So I thought that was outstanding, that my SIM was not functioning as it should yet I had plenty of service, for a good deal of the time without doing a darn thing to initiate that.The audio volume, speakers on mine are perfect. I didn't buy a stereo and I also did not buy a camera....that said, video provides clear sharp images that are nice and bright. I did have to do a lot of updates at first - but Moto was VERY polite and patient. They let me choose when to begin each update, and warned me of not being able to use the phone at times. It also did each update in 2 phases - the download and the install, each time asking me before it continued.So I could download one, then wait and do some calls and come back to install that one.It took about 2 hours all together but I was doing things in between the updates as I saw fit - unlike Windows updates on my laptop, I was not locked out of my phone, nor forced to let it sit and update endlessly with out a clue as to what is happening. I really appreciated that.Moto has given some really nice features that make a cheap Galaxy phone look prehistoric.I use many, to many to think of right here but I certainly like to use the chop flashlight, the 2 shakes camera on, the fingerprint on and off. The face recognition didn't work for me; it says the light is bad no matter what I do. But some things do bug me, some more annoying than others.I hope some of these things can be learned by me as I keep looking for answers, in the meantime, it is not a bad phone at all and I do not regret buying it, not one bit. I happen to believe that no one is perfect and so to expect something to be 100% perfect is asking too much.(A)Motorola says in the bullet points "get hours of power in just minutes of charging" yet it takes 2 hours for my battery to get a full charge even when the battery is drained; I thought it was supposed to be super quick to charge when drained but I guess they think 2 hours is "minutes?"(B) Photos are cumbersome to manage - I cannot seem to find an easy way to archive - which function, screen is it? It is like playing a game of clue trying to find the right combination of options to manage photos: store, put into albums, archive, etc. There is the main photo view and there is the separate Google view, but to much of it is NOT obvious or easy (for me) to figure out, and the onscreen help leaves a lot to be desired.(C)When I press the right side square button to show all "prior apps accessed"and want to clear them all, I have to click-close each one, one at a time - then on the very last one it finally gives me the Clear All option!!! Why does it make me close 10 windows then on the final 11th let me clear all??(D) Another similar Clear All issue affects the pull down notifications screen.The Clear All option is hidden (I guess) because I can't find it until I open gmail, or whatever, to get rid of some of them so that the Clear All option is visible - so all these notifications build up without seeing the Clear All option, only a small annoyance but I think the Clear All options should be there even when and especially when the screen is crowded. (E) Keyboard is a bit cumbersome, could be a lot more user-friendly: 1. the comma is right up next to the animated emoji and I do not have pencil thin fingers so I too often have to cancel the jumping flashy emojis to try to get a comma in.2. I must keep pressing the shift up key to make caps - it should press twice to put caps lock on but it does not seem to have a caps lock feature.3. It does not give us an easy way to type email by way of @ and .com buttons on the main keyboard. 4. I wish it had a gmail button instead of having to type it out each time.5.I don't like having to toggle to 2nd keyboard to type a number, because the keys across the top won't let me access the numbers without pressing some other special function key each time.
