Design

Sometimes models of the low price class are distinguished by a bright design. This is not the case with the Motorola E6 Plus. The front panel has a drop-shaped notch for the front camera and a rather noticeably thick bottom bezel. The plastic rear panel has a vertically oriented dual camera setup in the left corner. The fingerprint scanner is also located here. It is marked with the letter "M". 

The dimensions of the Motorola E6 Plus are such that the device is compact and fits nicely in the palm. The device weighs 150 grams. 

Display 

Motorola E6 Plus offers a 6.1-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1560 x 720 pixels. The pixel density is 282. The aspect ratio - 19.5:9. The viewing angles are wide and the color rendering is not bad. The maximum brightness of the screen is 400 nits, and the minimum - 7. Thanks to the small notch, the Motorola E6 Plus display occupies 80% of the front panel area. This is not a bad indicator at all for a budget-class phone. By comparison, the Redmi 8's screen takes up 81.8%, and the pricey iPhone 11 - 79%. 

Performance 

The Motorola E6 Plus features a budget MediaTek MT6762 Helio P22 chipset, implemented using 12nm technology. It uses a powerful and power-efficient 8-core solution clocked at 2 GHz. Graphics is assigned to the PowerVR GE8320. For the sake of performance, Motorola has provided 4 GB of RAM, which is enough for most everyday tasks including web browsing and HD video watching. 

The internal storage is 64 GB. Need more memory? The manufacturer has provided a slot where you can insert a microSD memory card up to 512 GB. Additionally, this Motorola model has a 3.5mm headphone port and does not offer an NFC module for contactless payments. 

Camera

Considering the price of the device, the camera is typical of budget models. The main camera is dual. It consists of a 12-megapixel sensor with f/2.0 aperture optics and a 2-megapixel auxiliary camera for measuring the depth of the scene and creating portraits with a blurred background. The main camera offers reasonably detailed shots when ambient light is good. When light is deficient, some detail is lost and noise appears. 

With the Motorola E6 Plus in hand, you can shoot video at 1080 pixels at 30 frames per second. 

The front camera is an 8-megapixel camera with f/2.0 optics. 

Autonomous operation 

The battery capacity of Motorola E6 Plus is satisfactorily large - 3000 mAh. Taking into account that the screen is small and HD, and that the processor is not the fastest, this model demonstrates high autonomous work. When playing video in airplane mode and at maximum brightness, you can count on almost 10 hours of continuous operation. 

The battery is removable, which means you can buy an extra one and not worry about being without a phone. 

Conclusion

The Moto E6 Plus will appeal to anyone who needs the ultimate lightweight and comfortable smartphone and isn't demanding on its performance.
