The newest versions of Motorola's budget phone line series, the E and G, were announced yesterday at an event in Brazil (one of Motorola's best markets). The Moto G6 with a Snapdragon 450, 3 or 4 GB of RAM, 32 or 64 of storage, microSD slot and a 3,000 mAh battery is going to set you back $249. Motorola has added curved Gorilla Glass 3 on the back and made the fingerprint sensor smaller and more pill shaped to accommodate the new 5.7 inch IPS 1080p screen. Personally, if I live to be 1,000 I'll never understand adding MORE glass to a phone. And yes, there's a headphone jack on ALL THESE PHONES.
There's a Play version of the G6 starting at $199. As you'd expect, smaller processor, smaller amount of RAM and onboard storage with a non-IPS screen pegged at 720p. It does have a fatter battery though at 4,000 mAh. There's an even higher end G6 Plus, that will not be available in the US, with even better specs like the Snapdragon 630 and possibly 6GB of RAM.
Official pricing was NOT announced for the 2 new E phones, but you know they will be slotted under the G series. The E5+ is the higher end of the E series with a Snapdragon 435, 3GB of Ram, 32GB of expandable storage, a 6 inch IPS HD+ screen with an even larger 5,000 mAh battery. 5,000. Not a typo.
The E5 Play which will probably be priced around $130 is the low end phone with a Snapdragon 425/427, 2GB, 16GB expandable storage and a tiny little (comparatively speaking) 2,800 mAh removable battery. Also not a typo. REMOVABLE BATTERY, I SAID! How crazy is that?
