Motorola Moto G6 Plus
Key specs
Critic consensus
“Well, just like the original, it's a lot of phone for a little cash, though the definition of the latter has shifted more than we'd like. In the end, in the never-ending game of compromise, you can't go wrong with the Moto G6 Plus.”
“With the Moto G6 Plus, Motorola is offering a powerful midrange smartphone. However, it is beleaguered not only by external rivals, but also by the good alternatives in Motorola's own ranks.”
“With a big, bright display, quality build and strong performance, the Moto G6 Plus blurs the line between budget and mid-range smartphone. Whether it represents a sufficient leap forward from the brilliant Moto G6 is another matter, however.”
“The Moto G6 Plus is an excellent budget smartphone and we’re struggling to point to anything better at this price. It looks good, performs well, and offers some features you simply don’t expect to find in a budget phone.”

In Depth
Taking the top spot in Motorola’s 2018 G-Series lineup, the G6 Plus offers everything reviewers loved about the standard G6 and adds a little more to the experience. Of course, this also adds to the price.Â
Key differences include:
- A faster octa-core 2.2Ghz Snapdragon 630 processor with 4 to 6GB of RAM
- An increased 32 to 64GB of internal storage
- A slightly larger 5.9-inch display
- 4K video capture
- A larger 3200mAh battery
Since the screen is the same resolution as the regular G6, you technically lose a small amount of clarity on paper. However, reviewers still found display sharp at 409 pixels-per-inch.
The increased processor speed and RAM makes multitasking and heavy gaming more fluid, but it’s still not a flagship in terms of performance. However, for most users, it can keep up with most common tasks as long as you don’t mind apps taking a little longer to load.
The cameras in the G6 Plus are nearly identical to the G6, but reviewers found it handled complex lighting and low-lighting better than the other two models. Still, they still wouldn’t recommend the camera and considered it the weakest part of the package.
If you’re looking for a budget-friendly phone that will age gracefully, the G6 Plus is the best of the three new models. However, for many reviewers, the standard G6 was the sweet spot in terms of overall value.
