is such a good deal.Design
While the G6 and G6 Plus look pretty much identical,
the Moto G6 Play has a slightly different design. You
can tell it’s part of the same range of phones, but the
Play has a few quirks that make it stand out.
For starters, the fingerprint scanner is on the
back and has the Motorola logo on it. You might
prefer the placement compared to the front-

to personal preference.
At first glance you’d think Motorola
had removed its headphone jack, but
actually it’s moved it from its position
next to the USB port on the G6 and
G6 Play to the top of the device.
Another change here is that this port
is Micro-USB rather than USB-C,
which is a shame considering its an
older standard, but understandable
considering the price.
While the more expensive G6
models have a sleek 3D glass rear
cover, the G6 Play is plastic. It still
looks and feels good though, and

terms of grip. The other thing missing
here is a p2i water-repellent coating
