Motorola also jumped on the extra-tall screen bandwagon with its 18:9 MaxVision display — this one in particular is 5.7 inches and runs at Full HD+. In general it's plenty crisp and vivid for a budget phone, but as with earlier models, you might run into some trouble in direct sunlight. Even when we popped outside to snap a few photos of the New York skyline — in the shade of a tall hotel, no less — it was sometimes difficult to read.

And speaking of the camera, Motorola fitted its G6 with a dual camera comprised of a 12-megapixel and 5-megapixel sensor. Diehards will remember that last year's G5S Plus was the first Moto device with a dual camera, and the experience here seems very similar — expect a pleasant level of detail and lively colors. Having two rear cameras also makes depth effects possible, and under solid lighting conditions, the dual camera did an impressive job isolating our mostly willing subjects from the background. Not bad at all for a $250 phone. Like a handful of other smartphone makers, Motorola has also released the value of weaving AI into its camera experience, but its approach is a little different.
