Details about the G6 and the G6 Play's design
Both the Moto G6 and the Moto G6 Play will sport 5.7-inch HD+ Max Vision IPS displays. However, Moto G6 has better resolution at 1080x2160 pixels, compared to the G6 Play's 720x1440 pixels. Interestingly, Motorola has chosen not to go with the trend and has retained bezels for both the phones. Further, fingerprint sensors have been placed on the home button beneath the display.
Battery, RAM and processor
The Moto G6 will be available in 3GB/4GB RAM and 32GB/64GB expandable internal storage variants.
