Motorola G6 Plus Coming To India Early August

Motorola has always had excellent success with its G series smartphones. The Moto G series phones are always placed in a category around the Rs. 15000 price bracket making them a good value proposition. This category has however become crowded recently and while Motorola did launch the Moto G6 recently, the Moto G6 Plus is a phone that Motorola loyalists look forward to. The phone was already announced earlier this year so there remains little to speculate about. The Moto G6 Plus is expected to hit India within the next two weeks considering the company has begun teasing the phone.

It’s time to ask for more from your smartphone. We’re all set to bring you one that is #BuiltForMore. Tweet to know what we’re launching next!

While the global variant of the G6 plus was launched with a Snapdragon 630 chipset, India is expected to get a different spec variant possibly with Snapdragon 660. The Xiaomi Mi A2 which launched recently with a Snapdragon 660 is also expected to launch in India on the 8th of August.

The Moto G6 is a significant upgrade over the Moto G5s in terms of design and build quality. During the Moto G5s launch, there were premium smartphones with the 18:9 aspect ratio but, not many budget devices had adopted the feature. Since then, however, the 18:9 aspect ratio has become the norm across the board. The Moto G6 follows the norm as well and has thin bezels around the display with an 18:9 aspect ratio.

A few years ago, most budget smartphones were flimsy and had a plastic build. That slowly transitioned into a metal unibody which is much more sturdier, if not the best-looking. 2018 appears to be the year of embracing the glass build quality. Honor did it with Honor 9 Lite and now Motorola has also adopted the all-glass design. The Moto G6 features Corning Gorilla Glass3 on the front and back with an aluminium frame. With the new design, the G6 will be a fingerprint magnet which means a skin or a case is highly recommended for people who like to keep their smartphones clean and pretty.

The G6 has a 5.7 inch LCD display with a 2160×1080. This translates into an 18:9 aspect ratio and thankfully for many, it doesn’t have a notch. Even though it has an 18:9 aspect ratio, the bezels are not the thinnest and it has a 74.4% screen-to-body ratio which is not very high.

Under the hood, the smartphone runs on the Snapdragon 450 chipset which has eight 1.8GHz Cortex A53 Cores (14nm) and is basically the rebranded Snapdragon 625. The Adreno 506 GPU adds the graphical prowess with either 3GB or 4GB RAM option bundled with a 32GB or 64GB storage option. The storage is expandable via a microSD card which will use up the second SIM slot.

The Moto G6 does get the USB C charging capabilities along with a 15W charger, which is bundled with a 3000mAh battery. The G6 will run close to stock Android 8 Oreo out of the box in typical Motorola fashion. There were talks of Motorola adopting Lenovo’s custom skin for the G and E series in 2018 but, it turned out to be a hoax.

At the back is a dual camera setup, consisting of a primary 12MP RGB sensor with an f/1.8 aperture along with a 5MP depth sensor with an f/2.2 aperture. Much like previous smartphones from the company, users can apply a depth-of-field effect to a photo after it is shot, thanks to the saved depth information. Users will also get effects like a selective black-and-white mode, a time-lapse feature, face filters, motion photos and visual search for objects and landmarks. The front houses a 16MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture and an LED flash.

The Moto G6 feels like a worthy upgrade over the Moto G5s. At this price point, however, the consumers also have the options of going for the Redmi Note 5 Pro or the Zenfone Max Pro which are powered by the Snapdragon 636. The G6 does have a better design with its a–glass build but, it’ll be interesting to see how the smartphone is received by the Indian consumers.

Since then, however, the 18:9 aspect ratio has become the norm across the board. The Moto G6 follows the norm as well and has thin bezels around a display with an 18:9 aspect ratio.

Motorola has also moved on from metal unibody build quality. The Moto G series came to the fore for providing quality products at an affordable price. The Moto G6 follows the same philosophy with the new all-glass design. The Honor 9 Lite did it first and the Moto G6 has followed suit. There is Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on the front and back for added protection.

The G6 has a 5.7 inch LCD display with a 2160×1080. This translates into an 18:9 aspect ratio and thankfully for many, it doesn’t have a notch.

The Moto G6 goes on sale at midnight on 5th June and at a price of Rs 13999, it competes with the likes of Redmi Note 5 Pro, Zenfone Max Pro and Realme 1. Although the G6 will be the most accessible thanks to no flash sales but, with a Snapdragon 450 up against the likes of Snapdragon 636, it’ll be interesting to see how many people go for the Moto G6.

Moto G6 Plus Running On Snapdragon 660 With 6GB RAM Leaked In Live Images

Lenovo-owned Motorola has had a lot of success in countries like India with its budget smartphone C, E and G series. Last month, the company launched the sixth generation of its highly successful Moto G series of smartphones. The Moto G6 Play, G6 and G6 Plus were launched in Sao Paulo, Brazil and are expected to launch in India early June. A new upgraded variant of the most premium of the three devices, the Moto G6 Plus, has now been leaked ahead of its India launch on 4th June.

Must Read: Motorola Launches Moto G6, G6 Play And Moto G6 Plus

An image, allegedly of the Moto G6 Plus shows the smartphones running on the Snapdragon 660 chipset with 6GB of RAM. This could be a new variant that the company will launch in India in order to compete with the likes of Redmi Note 5 Pro and Huawei P20 Lite. Both the Note 5 Pro and P20 Lite have had a successful last start to their stints in the Indian market and Motorola would want to go toe-to-toe in the budget segment. The Moto G6 Plus could be its answer to the two smartphones.

P20 Lite

However, it is worth noting that the image clicked of the Moto G6 Plus is running the AIDA 64 program. This program recognises Snapdragon 630 as ‘sdm660’ which means that this could very well be the regular Moto G6 Plus running on Snapdragon 630 chipset with 6GB of RAM. Popular budget smartphones in India have a 6GB RAM variant and it makes sense that Motorola also launches a 6GB RAM variant of the G6 Plus in India. Since this is a leaked image, we cannot confirm the authenticity of the image by any means.

The Moto G6 Plus has a 5.99 inch IPS LCD display with a 2160 x 1080 px resolution.To the back of the smartphone is a primary 12MP sensor with an f/1.7 aperture along with a 5MP secondary sensor with an f/2.2 aperture. The dual-camera setup can record 4K videos at 30fps which even the Redmi Note 5 Pro cannot do. The front of the smartphone houses an 8MP camera with an f/2.2 aperture and an LED flash.

The Moto G6 series is set to launch in India on the 4th of June. The G6 Plus will be the priciest of the three and it’ll be interesting to see if Motorola indeed launches a Moto G6 Plus running on the Snapdragon 660 chipset.

Moto G6 To Launch In India On June 4th

Motorola recently launched the new iteration of its highly successful G series, the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Play.

It now appears that the date has been set for the launch of the Moto G6 in India.

An Amazon listing reveals that the Moto G6 launch has been scheduled for June 4th in India. The pricing and launch offers will only be revealed on the day of the launch. However, considering the popularity of Moto G series of smartphones in India, we expect the pricing to be leaked ahead of its launch.

The G6 has a 5.7 inch LCD display with a 2160×1080 resolution. This translates into an 18:9 aspect ratio, a first for the Moto G series.

Under the hood, the Moto G6 runs on the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 which has eight 1.8GHz Cortex A53 Cores (14nm) and is basically the Snapdragon 625 rebranded. The Adreno 506 GPU adds the graphic prowess with either 3GB or 4GB RAM option bundled with a 32GB or 64GB storage option.

The Moto G6 does get the USB C charging capabilities along with a 15w charger, but that is bundled with a smaller 3000mAh battery.

At the back is the dual camera setup, which has a pair camera one a 12MP camera while a 5MP secondary camera for depth effects. Much like previous phones from the company, you can apply a depth-of-field effect to a photo after it is shot, thanks to saved depth information. You will also get effects like a selective black-and-white mode, a time-lapse feature, face filters, motion photos and visual search for objects and landmarks. The camera will also do OCR (optical character recognition) for text.

The launch is just a couple of weeks away and the Moto G6 can be a promising device if priced correctly. Going by the Lenovo-owned brand’s track record, we can expect the Moto G6 to be priced competitively for the Indian market!

Moto G6 Plus Live Images Reveal 18:9 Aspect Ratio And Front Facing Fingerprint Sensor

On April 19th, Lenovo-owned Motorola will unveil the next iteration of its highly successful budget lineup, the Moto G6 series. This time around, there are rumours that Motorola will launch three smartphones, the Moto G6, G6 Play and Moto G6 Plus. It appears that the whole G series of smartphones will see an overhaul in design and build quality. Now, live images of the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Plus have leaked, a day before their official unveiling at an event in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The leaked images also confirm that from the front, there will be no difference between the Moto G6 and G6 Plus. Despite the 18:9 aspect ratio, Motorola has kept the fingerprint sensor on the front of the devices. This means that the screen-to-body ratio of the two smartphones will take a hit but, the trade-off seems fair as a front-facing fingerprint sensor is more convenient than a rear facing one. The front-facing camera will also be accompanied by an LED flash on both the smartphones.

Benchmark scores of the Moto G6 Plus were already leaked, which reveal that the G6 Plus will run on the Snapdragon 630 chipset. Although according to the Geekbench listing the G6 Plus will run on the Snapdragon 660 chipset, the actual low benchmark scores point towards a 630 chipset. The Nokia 7 Plus, which runs on the Snapdragon 660 chipset scores 1640 points on a single core and 5827 points on multi-core performance. Whereas the Moto G6 Plus has scored 866 points on a single core and 4123 points on a multicore performance. The Moto G6 Plus scores are more comparable to the Moto X4 which runs on the Snapdragon 630.

The Moto G6 and G6 Plus along with the G6 Play will soon launch in India as well. If priced competitively, the Moto G6 series would compete with the likes of the Redmi Note 5 and Redmi Note 5 Pro in India. The launch of the Moto G6 series of smartphones is just a day away and all the details about the three smartphones will be revealed soon.

In fact, these smartphones resemble design of the Moto X4, which was launched in India in November 2017. All three smartphones are expected to run on Android 8 Oreo.

Along with the Moto G6 series, the company might also launch the Moto E5 series as well. The upcoming Moto G6 and E5 series will be very important to the company’s portfolio. In fact, these mid-tier devices will account for the majority of the sale numbers in the company’s portfolio.

The Moto G6 series has three phones, the Moto G6, G6 Plus, and G6 Play. All three phones have a premium full glass unibody design, similar to the Moto X4. Additionally, these are the first set of Moto smartphones to have an 18:9 aspect ratio display.

In the G6 lineup, the Moto G6 Plus will be the priciest of the lot. The smartphone has a 5.93 inch FHD+ 2160 x 1080 px IPS LCD display, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoC. Similarly, the Moto G6 has a same 5.93 inch FhD+ display with 2160 x 1080px IPS LCD display, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 chipset.

March 27, 2018
Moto G6, G6 Plus, G6 Play Could Soon Be Launched In India

We often see flagship features trickle down to mid-range devices. In 2017, we saw flagship smartphones with 18:9 aspect ratio display. Similarly, the latter part of 2017 saw devices like the Honor 7X with an 18:9 aspect ratio. 2018 will see more budget smartphones with an 18:9 aspect ratio and the Moto G6 series will be no different.

These smartphones are expected to feature a premium glass design similar to the Moto X4 and are expected to be launched soon. In fact, the entire Moto G6 lineup has been certified by NBTC and TKDN in Thailand and Indonesia.

The Moto G6 and the Moto E5 series is expected to be made official in Asian markets. Subsequently, India is one of the important markets for Moto and could be one of the first few markets to get the devices.

Moto G6 Specifications

The device is most likely to have a 5.7-inch 2160 x 1080p IPS LCD display. Under the hood, the smartphone, as mentioned in the listing, will be powered by the Snapdragon 450 chipset with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage.

The Moto G6, in all probability, will run Android 8 Oreo out of the box. However, considering the recent behaviour of other OEMs, it won’t be surprising to see the Moto G6 running Android 7 Nougat. The device is expected to feature a 3000 mAh battery with Turbocharging capability.

The device will have a dual 12 MP + 5 MP primary cameras with an 8 MP front-facing camera.

Expected Moto G6 Play Specifications

The Moto G6 Play has a 5.7-inch IPS LCD 1440 x 720 px resolution, protected by 2.5D curved glass. Under the hood, the smartphone sports the Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 Octa-core chipset with 3GB RAM. The device scores 472 points on a single-core and 1801 points on multi-core on Geekbench.

The device might run on Android 8 Oreo out of the box. However, instead of stock Android, the Moto G6 Play comes with Lenovo’s custom ZUK skin. However, that is hard to believe since Motorola has had success with its close to stock Android OS devices. Finally, the smartphone packs in a massive 4000 mAh battery with no mention of fast charging what so ever.
