The option to listen to music without a headset will not please music lovers.

According to users, standard Moto headphones will not provide proper normal sound. The connector, which is located at the top of the smartphone, has a size of 3.5 mm.

Video

Recording peaks at 1080p. The Moto E6 Plus records video with mostly accurate if slightly anemic color reproduction and average detail quality.
