Motorola and Lenovo have officially taken the wraps off of the Moto E6, offering a large screen and decent specs at an affordable price. It's another device aimed at delivering a clean software experience with an all-day battery, so it's bound to be a hit in the budget market and on prepaid.

Some highlights include a pretty big 5.5″ display, a large (and removable) 3000mAh battery, and a rare headphone jack. The entire package is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 435 CPU with 2GB of RAM, which is pretty decent for its price range.
The Moto E6 launches at $150, so it's going to be a much more affordable device for many users. Couple that with regular prepaid discounts, and this is going to be easy to pick up for just a few bucks instead of hundreds of dollars, but of course you're going to make some trade-offs there.
For example, the Moto E6 still uses a micro USB charger instead of USB-C, and there's only a paltry 16GB of storage built-in. The camera will likely be pretty mediocre, and Motorola software updates are very hit-or-miss. But if you can live with all of those things, Motorola does tend to do a pretty great job in the low-end market.
