Motorola has had some solid smartphones this year. The firm always provides some of the best value in the budget arena, and you won't get a better smartphone for $249 than the Moto G6. The Moto Z3 Play was pretty good as well, even if it was priced a bit high.

A couple of weeks ago, the company announced its long-awaited 2018 flagship, the Moto Z3. Unfortunately, the handset is far less than exciting, with last year's Snapdragon 835 chipset, along with a display and body that matches the Moto Z3 Play.
