Headlining the mid-range series is the moto g6 plus. The flagship G6 Plus packs a 5.9-inch FHD+ Max Vision display with Gorilla Glass 3. Powering the device is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 processor mated to either 4GB or 6GB of RAM, complemented by 64GB of storage.

While it doesn’t sport IP-rated dust- or water-resistance, it does have a p2i-rated water repellent coating that protects the phone both inside and out.

Unsurprisingly, the moto g6 plus features a dual-camera system: a 12MP + 5MP combo that boasts Dual Pixel AF and a superfast f/1.7 aperture lens and 1.4um pixel size.

Moto has thrown in some smart camera modes, much like its predecessor moto g5s plus. It is capable of shooting 4K videos, too. On the front, it gets an average 8MP unit that has manual and a host of beautification features.

Moto’s smartphones have traditionally been strong in the audio department, and the moto g6 plus is no different. There’s a front facing speaker enhanced by Dolby Audio and it also comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack.

With three mics, you can also easily interact with the phone using moto voice and Google Assistant.

Keeping the device juiced is a fairly large 3,200mAh battery that supports TurboPower rapid charging via USB Type-C.

The moto g6 plus retails for EUR299 (MYR1,435) and it’s available in Brazil now, then Mexico next week. It will roll out in various countries in Asia Pacific, Europe and Latin America over the next coming months.
