The Motorola Moto E6 Plus also has more recent Android features for those who might use those “basics” too often. Google’s Digital Wellness suite is present, allowing you tomonitor and control how much you use certain apps. Disclaimer: some willpower is still required. The Motorola Moto E6 Plus doesn’t yet support the Vulkan graphics API, so certain titles such as Ark: Survival Evolved simply won’t work as they should. The game runs, but none of the 3D elements appear. The Moto G6 Play or Moto G7 Power are better “low maintenance” phones for light users who want to think about charging as little as possible.
The Motorola Moto E6 Plus’s blur mode also lets you choose the virtual aperture. Its widest f/0.95 setting throws everything out of focus bar your subject, with a pleasing level of progressive blur on show. The Motorola Moto E6 Plus has a 6.1in screen. A number of Motorola’s “Plus” phones over the years have been a bit of a handful; they’ve been unsuitable for children and those who find bigger displays a bit of a stretch. The Motorola Moto E6 Plus has no such customisable modes, most likely because the handset is already maxing out the screen’s capabilities. The Motorola Moto E6 Plus has two cameras on its rear, giving it an advantage over the slightly more expensive Moto G7 Play. Focusing purely on the resolution, this may seem like a compromise, and on a larger panel remaining at 720p certainly would be. At its relatively svelte size however, pixelation is just not an issue. Only those holding the device an inch from their nose will find cause to complain.In addition, the Motorola Moto E6 Plus has super-slow micro-USB charging, so you’ll want to recharge overnight. Motorola’s G7 series phones comes with a much faster Turbo Charger. Motorola, with the E6 Plus, is certainly attempting to show that it is dedicated to providing something of a luxury experience - at least when compared to rivals. Like most Motos, it’s fine. Moderate use might see it hold onto around 20-30% by bed, but I’ve drained it further most days. This is because use has included a lot of streamed audio, a fair amount of YouTube and some public transport navigation by CityMapper. There are two shortcomings that show up in day-to-day use. The first is that the Motorola Moto E6 Plus’s screen doesn’t look hugely bright on a sunny day. The second, at times the Auto Brightness mode isn’t good at judging the level required for indoors lighting. Neither should put you off, given the price.
But for the basics – and more besides – the Motorola Moto E6 Plus is a charmer, and one of the better Moto E series phones to date. No matter how comfortable it is to hold, every smartphone lives and dies by the prowess of its screen. The panel on the Moto E6 Plus is 6.1 inches across, and is roughly the standard resolution for the price point, that being 720 x 1560. As smartphones go, the Moto E6 Plus doesn’t really stand out when it comes to looks. In this case, I think that’s a good thing, though. At a glance there’s precious little difference between this and a handset two or three times the price. Brightness too is okay at best, with the panel not getting so bright that it can compete with the sun, nor so dim that it can be comfortably used in bed at night.
It’s a similar story when it comes to graphics processing. The E6 Plus ranks significantly ahead of last year’s Moto E, and within touching distance of the Moto G7 Power. At a glance, it seems to be well ahead of the Vodafone Smart X9, but resolution is important here: while the Redmi 7A and Moto E6 Plus have 720p screens, the Vodafone handset has a 1080p panel – hence the numbers are levelled when the tests are done offscreen. There are no similar surprises in the Motorola Moto E6 Plus’s video. The phone can shoot at 720p or 1080p resolution with either camera, but there’s no software stabilisation and no 4K capture. Video is poor. Motorola Moto E6 Plus battery life – For light users, it’s fine; but charge times are slow
