The Motorola Moto G06 is the entry point to Motorola's current range, a 4G handset that puts its budget into screen size and battery rather than speed. The 6.88-inch panel is one of the largest fitted to any phone at this price, and it runs at 120Hz.
Moto G06: Display
The 6.88-inch IPS LCD refreshes at 120Hz, unusual at this level, with Gorilla Glass 3 on the front. For scrolling feeds and reading, the size and refresh rate are the phone's best case.
Resolution is 720 x 1640, roughly 260 pixels per inch stretched across a very large panel, so sharpness is the visible sacrifice, and the Mohs level 4 hardness rating makes a screen protector sensible.
Moto G06: Camera
The single 50MP main camera with PDAF should be adequate for daylight snaps, and the 8MP selfie camera covers video calls.
There is no ultrawide at all, and video recording stops at 1080p at 30fps, so this is a camera for documentation rather than creativity.
Moto G06: Battery
The 5,200mAh battery is rated at 55:21 hours of endurance on the EU energy label with an efficiency Class A, so two days of light use looks realistic, and the label's Class A repairability rating is a quiet bonus at this price.
Charging is the weakest on this page of Motorola's range at just 10W, so a full charge is a genuinely slow overnight affair, and even the cheaper-feeling rivals often manage more.
Moto G06: Size, Weight and Build
At 171.4 x 77.5 x 8.3mm and 194g with a silicone polymer back in four Pantone shades, the G06 carries an IP64 splash rating and stereo speakers plus a headphone jack.
This is a physically big phone, taller than most flagships, and one-handed use is likely to be a stretch for most people.
Moto G06: Performance
The Helio G81 Ultra with up to 8GB of RAM handles the basics, and the dedicated microSD slot means the 64GB entry storage is cheap to fix.
It is a 12nm chip with no 5G, NFC is market-dependent so UK buyers should confirm it on the specific model before relying on contactless payments, and the phone ships on Android 15 with no stated upgrade commitment.
Moto G06: Who Should Buy
Buy the Moto G06 if you want the biggest possible screen for the smallest possible outlay and charging speed does not bother you; it works as a first phone, a spare, or a media device for someone undemanding. Buyers who can spend slightly more should look at the Moto G17, which sharpens the screen to 1080p, adds an ultrawide camera and nearly doubles the charging speed at 18W.
