The Moto E6 could a downgrade from the Moto E5

The Moto E5 was a budget smartphone with some pretty impressive features for its price point – but its inevitable predecessor could be a little less impressive.

According to leaked specs from Mishaal Rahman, who has a respectable track record of hardware information leaks, the Moto E6, which we haven't heard of so far, could be similar to the Moto E5 in many ways, but perhaps a downgrade in others. 

What's up with the Moto E6

Some of the Moto E6 specs look to be the same as in the Moto E5 – the 13MP rear camera, 5MP front camera, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage are all common between the two phones.

While the Moto E5 ran on a Snapdragon 425 chipset, the Moto E6 apparently runs on a Snapdragon 430, so it has a modest step up in terms of processor, and the 32GB memory option may appeal to some.

But in other ways, the Moto E6 is a downgrade, specifically in terms of screen specs. While we praised the Moto E5's 5.7-inch screen size, at 5.45 inches the Moto E6 would actually be a smaller phone, although Rahman does admit he's not totally sure of these dimensions.

While we typically expect new phones to be improvements on their predecessors, if this leak is accurate, it suggests the Moto E6 could be mostly the same, and with one important downgrade.

The Moto E series phones have a roughly yearly release schedule – if the Moto E6 is released a year on from the Moto E5, we'd expect to see it in the next few months, so stay tuned to TechRadar to find out the final Moto E6 specs.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Microsoft's new and improved Edge browser seems to be giving Google some cause for concern, and the company is now using its hugely popular online services to nudge recently converted Edge users back towards Chrome. Last week, it emerged that Google was attempting to scare Edge users into switching browsers when they visited the Chrome Web Store to grab some extensions.
