Lenovo-owned Motorola at an event in New Delhi today launched the Moto G6 for Indian market. But, alongside the Moto G6, Motorola also launched the Moto G6 Play in the country. Both these smartphones were first announced back in late April this year in Brazil.
The Moto G6 Play, like the Moto G6, features a 5.7-inch display that has 18:9 aspect ratio. But, unlike the Moto G6 that has 2160 x 1080 pixel resolution screen, the Moto G6 Play ships with a screen that has 1440 x 720 pixel resolution.
That said, like the Moto G6, the Moto G6 Play also has small bezels on left and right side of the display, but, the bottom bezel is relatively large. And, unlike the Moto G6 that has a fingerprint scanner on the bottom bezel, the Moto G6 Play only has the Motorola moniker on its bottom bezel.
Well, that doesn’t mean the Moto G6 Play doesn’t have a fingerprint scanner. It does. It’s located on the back below the camera. It’s actually embedded on the Motorola bat-wing logo.
The Moto G6 features a 3D glass design on the back. It also is covered with Gorilla Glass 3 both on the front and the back. However, unlike the Moto G6, the back of the Moto G6 Play is covered with polymer glass.
The Moto G6 Play is the lowest-end smartphone in the Moto G6 Series, and, it’s powered by Snapdragon 427 SoC. It comes in two variants – 2 GB RAM + 16 GB storage, and, 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage. However, Motorola has only launched the 3 GB RAM variant in India.
Talking about the photography department, the Moto G6 Play sports a single 12 MP camera at the back and a 5 MP camera on the front. However, the biggest highlight of the Moto G6 Play is its 4000 mAh battery which Motorola says can offer up to 36 hours of battery life.
