Motorola Moto E6 Play XT2029-1 32GB Unlocked GSM Dual SIM Phone w/ 13MP Camera - Ocean Blue

Product Information

Refurbished Fair - A Fair condition used product that has signs of heavy wear to the front, back or sides.

It isn’t removable, so neither is the battery – a wise step back to normality from the E6 Plus in our view; though others will differ. To end with a slight positive, the Moto E6 Play does at least stick with Motorola’s tradition of keeping Android as clean as possible.One of the few positives is storage: it might only come with a lowly 32GB of onboard memory, with a quarter of that already used up by the operating system, but a dedicated microSD card slot means you can add more, and still have the option of dual SIM cards.

But we do expect a base level of fluidity when doing the basics, and that just hasn’t been provided here.Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. The Moto E6 (stylized by Motorola as moto e 6) is the 6th generation of the low-end Moto E family of Android smartphones developed by Motorola Mobility. There’s a single camera on the back, even if Motorola has tried to make it look like two with some clever placement of the flash, and the logo is built into the fingerprint sensor, giving the phone a rather sleek appearance. I found that an hour of Netflix streaming, with the screen cranked right up to full brightness, drained 21% of the battery.

There’s a sense of solidity and balance that continues onto the right edge of the phone, where the power and volume buttons sit.PayPal Credit and PayPal Pay in 3 are trading names of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH. There are frequent stutters and slowdowns while flicking between the homescreens and menus, and occasional lengthy pauses when waking or powering up the phone. It struggles with consistent exposure, with no auto-HDR to balance lights with shadows, and even when forced on manually it regularly blows out skies or crushes darker areas.
