Thinking of buying three ... how is everyone liking them?

[decraig2000]

So my wife's Samsung S5 is four years old and she would like a new phone. Both of my daughters have Moto G4's and are starting to have battery issues after two years. I've got a Moto Z Play that is still rocking and in general I've had great luck with my various Moto phones. With the current pricing on the G6 and since I am on Verizon (no contract and want to keep it that way), I am thinking of picking up three new G6 phones for the women in my life. They all seem to be on board with it. I read nothing but good reviews on the phone. None of my ladies will be power users. My wife makes calls, texts, manages her calendar, etc. My daughters text, Snap Chat, Facebook, etc ... no heavy lifting though.

So given that, how are people liking this phone? Pros and or cons ...

Will not do Google Pay, if that's important to you, as it doesn't have NFC.

Well seeing how none of us in our family have ever used Google pay or even know what NFC is ... I think the phones are going to be just fine. The three phones arrived last week, I chopped their sim cards, and fired up the phones and they all work just fine. They seem to be good phones that do everything that my ladies need them to do.

I'm still toying with the idea of getting one. My Moto Z Play Droid has a weakening battery and I want something inexpensive.

My wife has the G6 on Verizon and seems to like it.

I'm pretty happy with it. It strikes the right balance of price and flagship touches. The MKBHD review I thought summed it up pretty well. Haven't really had anything that I couldn't do with it, and that's what I like about it. It's a $200 phone that does everything I need.

My wife has a G6 and it seems OK. The lack of NFC is what stopped me from getting one for myself.

I just ordered a G6 for my Mum as an upgrade to the worn out Obama feature phone she has. The sale seemed good and I'm very pleased with my Moto X4. I didn't consider the G6 for myself due to no nfc but mum will likely not miss that feature. I'm going to add it to my TMO prepaid account.

Hopefully it will be a good device for her and get her in to the 21st century with the rest of the family.

I've only had mine a few days and had a z play droid. It does slow down some at times like the play but expected that. Maybe some setting I had as it seems better since I changed some and some apps seem to act weird but figure it's the app.

Other than that for a phone in the price range it's fine so far. But again haven't had it long to test everything.

Moto just announced the G7, but that's still missing NFC in the US, I believe. Congratulations on your new G6. My wife loves hers.

Had mine for 3 months. Bought it at Costco, $199 with an extra $40 off.

Previous phone was a Droid Turbo with a massive battery life span.

This new Moto G6 at $160 is a killer deal.

Super battery life, (my priority), reasonable performance on most apps. No NFC, don't care. Very satisfied. Moto continues to grab a big chunk of the phone market for us mere mortals.

Paying over $600 for a phone is just stupid.

Oh, and the turbo charging is great. 60% charge in 15 minutes. Super handy.

Have to agree after having mine for awhile longer now.
