Indoors, the Moto G6 turned in a surprisingly balanced low-light picture of a collection of vinyl figures. The detail on the sign itself is also commendable compared to the Nokia 6.1's attempt, which blew out some details and couldn't capture the texture of the surface. I used this sign to test the Moto G6's selective-focus capabilities, and the dual-camera system did an adequate job of separating the foreground from the background. The Android One-powered Nokia 6.1, which costs $20 more than Motorola's device (and will be reviewed soon), turned in a shot that was a smidge too warm by comparison, but certainly closer to the ideal. Normally, photos on sunny days are a cakewalk for even the least expensive handsets, but the G6 painted this scene in a park in unrealistically cool tones. Special features aside, the Moto G6's cameras are as close to average as any you'll find at this price. That's much too long, especially considering Google Lens is available from within the Photos app and surfaces results instantly. The G6's Smart Camera, as it's called, identified objects accurately in my experience, though it took upward of 20 seconds on average to return results. The phone also has a document-scanning mode that converts what it sees into editable text. Motorola has also given the G6's camera Google Lens-like capabilities that allow it to identify landmarks and objects in the frame. Like the Galaxy S9 with its Live Focus mode, the Moto G6 allows you to change the strength of the background blur after shooting. The main, 12-megapixel, f/1.8 sensor is accompanied by another 5-MP one to enable portraits with bokeh effects. Motorola has brought its dual-lens imaging tech to the Moto G6. By comparison, the G5 Plus turned in 591 nits - impressive given that phone's price, but also one of the brightest panels we tested last year in any handset. At 413 nits, Motorola's phone was just below the 433-nit smartphone average. However, the G6's peak brightness failed to impress when we measured the display with our light meter. The G6 notched a Delta-E score of 0.39, which not only tops results from budget rivals like the $199 Honor 7X, but beats the $820 Galaxy S9+ as well. This suited the trailer for the upcoming fantasy-adventure film Mowgli, where the jungles of India popped off of the screen with warmth and lushness.Ĭolor accuracy remains a strong point of Motorola's budget phones. If you need a little more intensity, you can use the optional Vibrant color profile, which dials up the saturation. The Moto G6 re-created 113 percent of the sRGB color space in our testing. That allows for the option of one-button navigation instead of the typical Android on-screen controls - something Motorola's been doing for the last few years, well before Google unveiled its plans to introduce gestures with Android P. Better yet, Motorola smartly left just enough room in the bottom bezel to keep the fingerprint sensor on the front. The display is just as large as it needs to be, but the handset is still easy to use one handed. Of course, many high-end phones use glass, but there's a hollowness to Motorola's application here that doesn't instill confidence.Įrgonomically speaking, this is the most comfortable and sensibly sized smartphone this side of the Galaxy S9. The switchover to glass could help with network connectivity, but the G5 Plus seemed to have no issues picking up a signal, so it's tough to definitively call this a worthwhile trade-off. The G5 Plus employed aluminum, which not only lent a more premium feel but also made the handset more durable. The slight cheapness comes from the slab of Gorilla Glass 3 shielding the back of the G6.
