MOTO G6 PLAY

The Moto G6 Play is the cheapest of the three G6 series phones that are launching this year. Despite this, it features a beautiful and modern design with that 18:9 display on the front and glossy back panel. The phone also features a fingerprint scanner embedded in the Motorola logo on the rear. This is something every Motorola fan wanted to see. The camera module on the rear has a single sensor, and it has almost the same design as last year’s Moto X4. In fact, Motorola has tried to keep the design of every Moto G phone of this year the same.

On the front, there is the 18:9 panel and the Motorola logo is there on the bottom chin. The volume rockers are on the right with the power button placed below them. And yes, the power button has a textured finish, just like previous Motorola phones. The phone has a water-repellent coating to deal with some normal splashes.
