Moto G6 Review: The Best Mid-Range Phone You Can Buy (2018)
Before the original Moto G, mid-range phones were hardly even an afterthought for most users. The Moto G changed all that and opened the floodgates for device makers to start showing that you do not need to have flagship specs and pricing to give customers a great smartphone experience.
After years of dominating the mid-range market the last years, Moto G5 was more or less a flop, so expectations are understandably low with the release of the g6 this year.
Check out my review of the moto g6. Can Motorola return to the top of the heap in the mid-range game?
Moto Z3 (Potential) Leaks!
The Moto Z line of phones have been some of the most polarizing Motorola has ever released. The original Z, released in 2016 featured an ultra-thin design, no headphone jack, USB-C connectivity and most notable, the ability to attach “Moto Mods” which gave users the ability to attach various “modules” to the back of the smartphone such as a battery, speaker, print or projector.
Users were skeptical if this design would stick, but Motorola committed to at least three years of this design language and support for mods.
This week we have seek a significant leak that appears to show Lenovo is sticking to its word and will be announcing the Moto Z3 soon, with mod support. Check out the leaks!
