Moto G6 vs Moto G4: Worth the Upgrade?

Moto G6 vs G4: Specs

One area that's really important to potential buyers is the specs of a phone. While the Moto G4 was decent, it starts to show its age and how underpowered it is after a year or so.

If you have the G4 you are likely running out of space, the phone is starting to slow down, and you're ready for something new. If so, here's what the G6 has to offer and how it's better. 

Moto G6 Specs

• 5.7-inch 2160 x 1080 Full HD LCD Display
• Android 8.0 Oreo
• 8-core Snapdragon 450 Processor with 3/4GB of RAM
• 32 or 64GB of storage (with microSD storage expansion)
• 12 MP f/1.8 aperture rear camera, 5MP secondary RBG depth camera
• 8MP front-facing camera
• 3,000 mAh battery with 15w fast charging
• Front-facing fingerprint scanner, forward-facing speakers
• USB Type-C, water-repellant coating, more
• Full US availability on Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T & Sprint

You have a powerful 8-core processor, more RAM, and double or triple the amount of storage as the Moto G4. Basically, 16GB and 2GB of RAM aren't enough for apps and games in 2018, which is why your G4 struggles sometimes. You won't have that problem with the G6. 

Moto G4 Specs

• 5.5-inch 1920 x 1080 HD Display
• Android 7.0 Nougat or Oreo (Depending on region)
• 8-core Snapdragon 617 Processor with 2GB of RAM
• 16GB storage (with microSD expansion)
• 13 MP f/2.0 aperture rear camera
• 5MP front-facing camera
• 3,000 mAh battery 
• Micro-USB, more

With the Moto G6, you get a better screen, the latest version of Android, a fast processor, more RAM, and double the storage. Not to mention a better camera on the front and the back. It'll also charge faster, uses the latest USB Type-C cables, and has a water-repellant coating. It's not water-resistant, but it'll survive a splash or some light rain. 

You're getting 2-years worth of improvements here all for a low price. It's worth the upgrade.
