Moto G6 Play spotted on hands-on video ahead of official launch

Motorola is expected to launch its Moto G6 lineup of smartphones on April 19 at an event in Brazil. The Moto G6 lineup, which includes the Moto G6, Moto G6 Plus and Moto G6 Play, has been leaked near infinite times. From renders to posters, we have seen it all. That said, we did not come across any videos of the smartphones till now.

A hands-on video of the Motorola Moto G6 Play has surfaced online, which shows the smartphone in action. While the person refers to the smartphone as Moto G6, we are quite sure that the device in question is indeed the Moto G6 Play. We say so as the smartphone shown in the video features a single rear camera, but the Moto G6 is expected to sport dual rear cameras.

The circular Moto branding on the rear panel of the Moto G6 Play is likely to function as the fingerprint scanner. At the front, the smartphone appears to have a full-screen design with reduced bezels. Notably, there is no physical home button.

As far as the specifications are concerned, the Moto G6 Play will reportedly come with a 5.7-inch FHD+ display with the aspect ratio of 18:9. Under the hood, the smartphone is believed to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor.

Motorola could launch the Moto G6 Play in two variants. The basic one will feature 2GB of RAM and 16GB of inbuilt storage, whereas the higher variant will have 3GB of RAM and 32GB of default storage space.

In terms of optics, the Moto G6 Play is likely to be equipped with a 12MP rear-facing primary camera and a 5MP selfie camera at the front. On the software front, the smartphone is said to run Android Oreo right out of the box. A large 4,000mAh battery is said to power the Moto G6 Play, which will probably be the phone's main USP.

The Moto G6 Play is expected to be the cheapest in the Moto G6 lineup. Going by a previous report, the smartphone will be priced at $199.99, which translates to Rs. 13,000. As for availability, the handset will not hit the shelves before May.
