G6 and G6 Play will have a 5.7-inch screen while G6 Plus may get a bigger 5.93-inch screen with 18:9 aspect ratio.

Moto phones with 3D glass. But what's a 3D glass?
3D glass refers to a slight curvature of the glass at the edge of the display, otherwise known as a contoured edge. Similar to a 2.5D glass, 3D glass has more curvature which offers better ergonomics while also adding to the design aesthetics.
Power and performance
Reports suggest that Moto G6 and G6 Play will be powered by Snapdragon 430 coupled with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage. However, Moto G6 Plus will be powered by Snapdragon 630 processor and may come with a 4GB RAM. In terms of battery power, the Moto G6, G6 Plus and G6 Play will most likely have 3,000mAh, 3,200mAh and 4,000mAh batteries respectively.
Camera, Release and Pricing
Going by the leaks, all the three Moto G6 variants are expected to get a dual-camera setup but nothing credible has surfaced about the lens' resolution or aperture. However, the phones are very much slated for MWC release. Lastly about pricing, reports suggest that Moto G6 will cost Rs. 12,000, with G6 Plus and G6 Play priced at Rs. 15,000 and Rs. 17,000 respectively.
