Disclaimer: this phone was purchased to be a WiFi only media player. It will never be activated as a phone. It's much too large for the front pocket of my blue jeans.
Going into this, I knew the Moto E6 was an inexpensive entry level phone with mediocre specs. But, when you're moving up from devices purchased 5 & 6 years ago (Moto E2, LG Volt), the Moto E6 is a stellar device.
With this phone I got every feature I was looking for, except size. This device is too large for my shirt pocket and it's something I'll just have to live with until I find a smaller device to replace it.
Overall, the Moto E6 is quite snappy and the display resolution is almost as good as the Fire Phone (296 ppi vs 315 ppi). I'm really impressed with the sound. At full volume, it's quite loud and not distorted or tinny sounding. I won't be needing a BT speaker for this device.
I'm keeping it and hoping that someone invents a shrinking machine soon
