The Moto E6 has been announced in the US. It is an entry level phone, with a design and specs that are extremely outdated.
The phone sports a 5.5-inches HD+ display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. It has a very thick chin, a slightly thinner forehead, and massive bezels. Motorola even had the audacity to include a logo in the humongous chin.
The device runs on stock Android 9 Pie, and is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 435 octa-core processor clocked @1.4GHz, with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage. There is a microSD card slot which supports up to 256GB of expandable memory.
The Moto E6 has a single rear camera which is a 13MP lens, with an f/2.0 aperture that supports 1.12μm pixel size, Phase Detect Auto Focus and an LED Flash. The selfie lens on the phone is a 5MP camera which has an f/2.0 aperture and 1.12μm pixel size. The Moto E6 is backed by a 3000mAh battery, which charged over a microUSB port. The phone has a 3.5mm headphone jack, but it is nearly irrelevant, considering the rest of the specs are poor.
