Out goes the latter’s notched display, which served to push the screen-to-body ratio more in favour of the screen. The case is made of plastic, the back is mirrored and wants to bring some glamour to the entry-level class. Regardless, the phone’s poor performance level should make anyone that values a smooth smartphone experience think twice about a purchase. So if the Moto E6 Play is the frugal triplet, and the Moto G8 Plus is the jock, then the third newly announced Motorola phone, the One Macro is the oddball, arty sibling.

You’ll only spot individual pixels with your nose pressed up to the display, viewing angles are surprisingly good and decent contrast gives images a pleasant visual punch. That’s absolutely dire and given the Alcatel is similarly poor, we can only assume that the MediaTek MT6739 gobbles electricity despite being a disappointing performer.To complete the hat trick of benchmark disappointments, the E6 Play’s battery life is really poor, too. Editorial independence means being able to give an unbiased verdict about a product or company, with the avoidance of conflicts of interest. Despite having the same 3,000mAh battery as the E6 Plus, the E6 Play lasted five hours less in our benchmark with a total of 10hrs 9mins. but it also includes the MediaTek MT6739 processor, which is quite a downgrade from the Helio P22 that powers the E6 Plus.

Not everyone can afford a flagship smartphone – and for a lot of people even the mid-range alternatives are out of reach. Compare the Motorola Moto E6 Play models and know what are the specifications that differ one from another version in the full datasheet. The breakthroughs and innovations that we uncover lead to new ways of thinking, new connections, and new industries.And when you consider that the Lenovo sub-brand has carved out a formidable niche for itself in the value handset market, that’s quite an achievement. It doesn’t have the most extensive feature list, with no NFC for contactless payments, a microUSB port instead of the newer USB-C, and no water-resistance to speak of. Last year, Motorola released the Moto E6 Plus, which is a pretty weird name for a phone if you’re not planning on releasing any other versions. Batteries of any device must hold a charge at least 80% of their original capacity or it will be deemed "Faulty".
