NeoTeo's verdict

Which of the two is the better buy

The Motorola Moto G56 is the choice for the most complete phone: it clearly beats the Moto G15 and Moto G06 in performance, camera, display, and connectivity. The Moto G15 leads on endurance, while the Moto G06 is the better buy only if it costs less, although its 7 years of updates are a genuine advantage.

The G56 separates itself with an AnTuTu score of 475,000 versus 262,000 for both the G15 and G06, plus 12 GB of RAM versus 8 GB. It also combines UFS 3.1 storage instead of eMMC 5.1 with Wi-Fi 6 and 5G. Its 120 Hz display has 1080 × 2400 px and 392 ppi; the G15 offers 60 Hz at the same resolution and density, while the G06 drops to 720 × 1640 px and 260 ppi, despite also reaching 120 Hz.

The G56’s main camera uses a 1/1.95″ sensor versus 1/2.76″ on the other two, adds optical stabilization, and records 4K; its front camera is also 32 MP versus 8 MP. IP68, IP69, and MIL-STD-810H resistance outclasses IP54 on the G15 and IP64 on the G06. The G15 delivers 57 h per cycle versus 49 h for the G56 and 55 h for the G06; the G06 instead offers 7 years of updates and 1,200 charge cycles versus 1,000.
