Last week, a new entry-level smartphone from Motorola, Moto E6i appeared on the Bluetooth SIG database. Now, this smartphone is official and it’s one you can get with a low budget. This is an entry-level smartphone that comes with Unisoc Tiger SC9863A SoC. Many may know the company, Unisoc as Spreadtrum. This processor is comparable to the Snapdragon 429 SoC. It is an entry-level 28nm octa-core SoC with 8 ARM Cortex-A55 cores in two clusters. One of the clusters has a frequency up to 1.6 GHz and an efficiency cluster of up to 1.2 GHz.
The Moto E6i uses a 6.1-inch HD+ waterdrop screen with a front 5MP selfie camera. There is a fingerprint recognition module and dual cameras on the back. The dual rear cameras consist of a 13MP sensor as well as a 2MP sensor. In terms of memory, this device comes with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage. However, it supports a microSD card slot for storage expansion. You don’t have to worry about the 2GB of RAM because this smartphone is an Android Go (Android 10) device. This means that 2GB of RAM is just enough.
