Motorola’s Moto G6 does a pretty good flagship smartphone for a much lower price

Fly like a G6

Let’s say you want a shiny new smartphone, but you actually want some cash leftover for gig tickets and Pringles. You could do a lot worse than opting for the Moto G phone, the newest of which has just launched in even-sunnier-than-here Brazil. The G6, slightly confusingly, comes in three variants. Priciest of the bunch is the G6 Plus (£269), which features a 5.9”, 18:9 aspect ratio and Full HD display. It has curved 3D glass back, as does the slightly smaller G6 (£219). Both phones also sport 12MP and 5MP dual rear cameras, but the G6 Plus trumps its little bro in the battery life and processor departments, the G6 Plus getting a Snapdragon 630 as opposed to the regular G6’s Snapdragon 450. For those on a really tight budget, there’s also the G6 Play (£169), which has a lower-res 5.7” screen, a single 12MP rear camera, and a whopping 4,000mAh battery. All three models will be available from May 2.

About

I'm fascinated by all things tech, but if you were going to leave me on a desert island, I'd probably ask for my Nintendo Switch, a drone, and a pair of noise-cancelling cans to block out the relentless seagull racket. When I'm not on Stuff duty you'll probably find me subscribing to too many podcasts, playing too many video games, or telling anyone who will listen that Spurs are going to win a trophy this season.
