All of our products have been tested by a gadget specialist and quality checked before being dispatched. If you uninstall or disable most of high ram usage applications and replace them with similar low ram usage apps, this phone becomes surprisingly fast. Given that this is a phone that will likely be bought a lot for kids, it seems smart to keep the screen size well under 5.Motorola’s crisp Camera UI can help to mitigate some of the exposure issues: just touch and swipe up or down to take direct control. As you can plainly see, the Moto E6 Play is a regular slowpoke, right down there with the dreadful Alcatel 1x. With a low-power CPU and a relatively modest HD+ display, it simply isn’t as power-hungry as most other phones.
