Motorola is aiming to grab a slice of the action in the budget segment with its new Moto E6s smartphone. This is pretty much the same phone as the Moto E6 Plus, which we recently saw at the IFA trade show in Berlin. The company has launched it in India under a slightly different name, at a pretty attractive price of Rs. 7,999. For that amount, you get 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a fingerprint sensor, which not many manufacturers offer. It also has some throwback features such as a removable battery, which we don't see much these days. Armed with a modern design and decent all-round specifications, should the Moto 6Es be your top budget pick? It's time to review and find out.
The Moto E6s is Motorola's new budget offering, competing directly with the likes of the Redmi 7 and the Realme 3i. It features an all-plastic body with a removable back cover, along with a removable battery too. The phone is avilable in two colours, but both the variants are big fingerprint magnets.
The 6.1-inch HD+ display has an aspect ratio of 19.5:9. Brightness is decent and colours are failry good, although we would have liked a bit more vividness. The display has thick borders all around it and a dewdrop notch on the top. It's powered by a MediaTek Helio P22 SoC and comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. This chip has decent performnace for basic tasks but is quite underpowered for a phone at this price. The speaker doesn't get too loud and when playing heavy games, the back gets noticeably hot. The Moto E6s runs on Android 9 Pie, without any custom skin on it.
It has a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel depth camera. Image quality is strictly okay during the day but struggles in low light. Videos recorded with the E6s look fairly average too and there's no stabilisation.
The phone only has a 3000mAh battery, which should last you through most the day on one charge but you shouldn't expect much more. Charging is also quite slow.
