- Analysis by KJ David
The sixth iteration of Motorola's budget-class Moto E smartphone that was initially carried by Verizon, the 2019 Motorola Moto E6 suffers from cons like an HD-only (1440 x 720) 5.5-inch display 
that flounders in comparison to those of the best phablets of its time, even though it has an appreciable 18:9 aspect ratio 
. It also does not come with that much on-board storage, at only 16GB -- many of its closest rivals pack twice as much native memory, but it does have room for up to 256GB of top-up storage.
The E6's hardware pros and cons do not sound that promising, either, coming in the form of a 1.4GHz eight-core Snapdragon 435 processor that does not quite line up with those of the market's leading octa-core smartphones. Additionally, it only comes with 2GB of RAM , whereas a lot of its budget-class competitors start out with 3GB on that front, while an Adreno 505 GPU takes charge of the graphics department.
As for its pros, the E6 is powered by a 3000mAh battery promising a 29-hour (a little over 1700 minutes) up-time on a single charge, outstripping what some competing low-budget smartphones listed here on Phonerated offer. Note that several models within its price group pack only roughly 2500mAh of raw battery power.
Its imaging specs include a 13-megapixel PDAF-enabled (phase-detection autofocus) main camera that we consider passable, at least relative to its 150-dollar initial price point. It also comes with a 5-megapixel front-facing sub-cam aided by a screen flash function. This Moto E edition supports FDD and TDD 4G-LTE bands with carrier aggregation and it dons Motorola's signature P2i water-repellent nano coating .

With a finish of either Starry Black or Navy Blue and the Android 9.0 Pie OS rounding out this review of its pros and cons, the Moto E6 seems like a feasible choice for budget Android shoppers eying a basic octa-core-powered smartphone.
On-paper Star rating: 
We're delighted that the Motorola Moto E6 can record high-resolution 1920 x 1080 videos, but we were disappointed not to find any evidence of the Moto E6 featuring an HDMI port (which is convenient to watch HD videos on your shiny HDTV.)

The screen is larger than usual, making it a phablet: 5.5 inches and a resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels means about 12.1 square inches and an image quality of at least 296 dots per inch (DPI)!
