The Moto Z Family might be the lead stars of the official comeback of Motorola in the Philippines but there are two budget smartphones from them that you might to consider.
First off, the Moto E3 Power.
Front: 5 MP front camera, 5 inch IPS HD display, dual speakers
Back: 8 MP rear camera with flash, noise cancelling microphone, removable back cover, Moto logo
Internals: 1.0 GHz Mediatek MT6735P quad-core processor, Android 6.0 Marshmallow, 2 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, dual micro SIM, LTE, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, micro SD slot, FM radio, 3,500 mAh removable battery.
Just look at the right hand side for the volume rocker and power/unlock button
3.5 mm. audio jack at the top, micro USB port at the bottom. I wonder if this phone has USB OTG capability.
The looks of it really reminds me a bit of the old Moto G. Yes it has big battery inside for it's display size but it was still light for me. No surprise for me that the camera samples that I brought has some weaknesses compared to Moto Z Play. This time, the front camera does not have the wide angle lens but still presentable to share.

Let's go up by a few notch and see the Motorola Moto G4 Plus
Front: 5.5 inch IPS FHD display, 5 MP front camera with auto HDR
Back: 16 MP main camera with LED flash, noise cancelling mic, Moto logo, removable back cover
Internals: Android 6.0 Marshmallow, Qualcomm Snapdragon 617 octa-core processor, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB ROM, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, dual SIM, micro SD slot, 3,000 mAh built-in battery.
I knew I might be a little redundant but still the same, volume rocker and power/unlock button at the right. The looks are a bit more metal compared to the E3 Power.
Moto G4 Plus produced good output based on the camera samples that I brought from the launch last night

Both the E3 Power and G4 Plus have the identical looks but the stock Marshmallow and the build quality were the plus points for me so far. Up to this point, I am still thinking of a phone (or phones) from the line-up that I would love to review.
Moto E3 Power and Moto G4 Plus have SRPs of Php 6,999 and Php 13,999 respectively.
