Our comparative Today brings us one of the most interesting duels in the field of the mid-range, as it represents the battle between the brand that for years has been the champion of the quality / price ratio, Motorola, with the manufacturer that right now for many has become the benchmark in this field, Huawei. Which of the two would you choose ?: Moto G6 Plus vs Huawei Mate 10 Lite.
Integrated
Although the fashion of all-screen fronts means that there are less and less notable differences in the design section, in this case we have three quite important: the first is the location of the fingerprint reader than in the Moto G6 Plus, and contrary to what has been the norm, it is located in front; The second is the characteristic placement of the rear camera on the phablets of Motorola; the third is that this phablet has opted for glass instead of metal. In both we have USB type C ports, yes, and both also have the headphone jack port.
Dimensions
Although it starts with some advantage because its screen is a little smaller, it seems that it should be conceded that Huawei has done a better job with optimizing the dimensions and thus, we find that its phablet is noticeably more compact (16x7,55 inch against 15,62x7,52 inch) and also finer (8 mm against 7,5 mm). Only in weight are they close enough so that we can speak of a technical tie (167 grams against 164 grams).
Screen
We have already pointed out that there is a slight difference in size between the displays of these two phablets, but it is probably not enough to determine our choice (6 inches against 5.9 inches) and in everything else their basic technical specifications are identical: they both use the 18: 9 aspect ratio so fashionable, they have the same Full HD resolution (2160 x 1080) and come with LCD panels. Nothing in this section, therefore, that will help us much to tip the balance.
Performance
In the performance section we can give some advantage to the Moto G6 Plus, although it is almost exclusively due to the operating system, because it already arrives with Android Oreo while the Huawei Mate 10, released a few months ago, still mail Android Nougat. If we look more at the hardware, however, we find again that they are quite close, with processors from different manufacturers but of similar level and characteristics (Snapdragon 630 eight core to 2,2 GHz against Kirin 659 eight core to 2,36 GHz) and with 4 GB of RAM in both cases.
Storage capacity
In the section of storage capacity we do have a clear victory and it is for him Huawei Mate 10 Lite, which stands out from what has been usual in the mid-range offering us nothing less than 64 GB internal memory, double what we have in the Moto G6 Plus. In any case, with both we will be able to use cards micro-SD to dip into external storage if the need arises.
Cameras
The winner is also Huawei Mate 10 Lite in the cameras section, especially if we prefer dual cameras, since they are both, while in the Moto G6 Plus, only the main one is. It also comes out winning, in any case, in number of megapixels, both for the main camera (12 MP versus 16 MP), as for the front (8 MP against 13 MP). A detail in which the phablet of MotorolaIn any case, it is the aperture (f / 1.7 versus f / 2.2).
Autonomy
While waiting to have comparable data from independent tests and keeping for the moment with a first approximation from the capacity of their respective batteries, we see how the Huawei Mate 10 Lite gets ahead3200 mAh against 3340 mAh). The advantage is not too remarkable, in any case, and it does not seem complicated that it could be compensated with a somewhat lower consumption, although it is true that there is no difference in technical specifications that makes it too obvious that this could be the case. The actual use tests will have the last word.
Moto G6 Plus vs Huawei Mate 10 Lite: final balance of the comparison and price
The main drawback that can be put to the Huawei Mate 10 Lite It has to do with the fact that, being a somewhat older model, it still arrives with Android Nougat, while in the Moto G6 Plus Yes we already have Android Oreo but, for all that, the phablet of Huawei equals or exceeds that of Motorola, with a fairly clear advantage in storage and cameras.
To this we must add that (and this is the positive side that it is a model that has been on sale for some time) it can already be found well below its official price, being possible to get it for less than $300, which represents a relatively large price difference with the Moto G6 Plus announced as of $350.
