In our comparative Today we are going to face the new phablet of Samsung, not with one of the most popular options in the mid-range, but with another newcomer, although it is true that it is the latest descendant of a saga that has been triumphing for years thanks to its quality / price ratio. Have you got the new phablet from Motorola keep the bar ?: Galaxy A6 + vs Moto G6 Plus.
Designer
Although the new Moto G6 Plus comes with a fairly renewed design compared to its predecessor and, like the Galaxy A6 +, It has joined the list of phablets with an all-screen front that we can find now, in addition to its main camera characteristic, there are still a few differences that are worth taking into account in this section, such as the fact that they use different materials for the back cover (metal for the Samsung and glass for Motorola) or the different location of the fingerprint reader (behind in the first and in front in the second).
Dimensions
Despite the fact that there are a few relevant differences in design, the similarity of their lines means that we find two phablets practically identical in terms of size (16,01 x 7,57 cm against 16 x 7,55 cm) and, although it is not so directly related to it, also in thickness they are in a situation of technical tie (7,9 mm against 8 mm). The only thing that we cannot confirm yet is whether they are equally close in weight, because at the moment we still do not have the official data of the weight of the Galaxy A6 +.
Screen
It must be said, however, that the fact that they are basically the same size is something that perhaps speaks more in favor of the phablet of Samsung, because it is true that your screen is larger, although for very little (6 inches against 5.9 inches). We also can't give either of them a significant advantage when it comes to resolution, because even the small difference between the two in the final pixel count (2220 x 1080 against 2160 x 1080) is solely because the two use a longer aspect ratio, but not exactly the same (18.5: 9 vs. 18: 9). What should be noted is that the screen of the Galaxy A6 + it is AMOLED.
Unlimited
If the balance is tilted more to the side of the Galaxy A6 + In the screen section, in the performance section it is on the side of the Moto G6 Plus, thanks mainly to the fact that we both have Qualcomm processors, but yours is of a higher level (Snapdragon 450 eight core to 1,8 GHz against Snapdragon 630 eight core to 2,2 GHz) since in the rest they would be tied: both arrive with 4 GB of RAM and both run Android Oreo.
Storage capacity
El Moto G6 Plus one more point is scored in the storage capacity section, not because the Galaxy A6 + does not comply, but because it arrives with much more internal memory than is usual in the mid-range (32 GB against 64 GB). Both have, of course, a card slot micro-SD which, in any case, helps to alleviate the differences.
Cameras
In the section of cameras, on the contrary, it is the phablet of Samsung the one that takes the lead again, since in both cases we have dual cameras and with f / 1.7 aperture, but his is 16 MP and that of the phablet is Motorola is 13 SM. To this we must add that it also has higher level technical specifications for the front camera (24 SM against 8 SM), a point at which the Galaxy A6 + shines especially and in which the Moto G6 Plus is limited to comply.
Autonomy
We still cannot say anything for sure (we will have to wait, as always, for comparable data from independent tests), but judging by the technical specifications the victory should be for him. Galaxy A6 +, which starts with a significant advantage in terms of battery capacity (3500 mAh against 3200 mAh), without there being too many reasons to expect a higher consumption (if anything, thanks to the AMOLED screen, we would have to expect it to be lower).
Galaxy A6 + vs Moto G6 Plus: final balance of the comparison and price
Even leaving aside the design differences, choosing between these two phablets should be quite easy, because the strengths of each of them are very clear: the Galaxy A6 + has an advantage when it comes to screen and cameras (especially for the front), while the Moto G6 Plus takes it in processor and storage capacity. We do not include the autonomy yet in favor of the phablet of Samsung, but the normal thing would be that it is.
We can focus without problems on simply assessing what our priorities are, because they will be close enough in price so that this is not a too relevant factor: the Galaxy A6 + has already appeared on some websites in Europe for 360 Euros and the Moto G6 Plus it was announced by 350 Euros.
