Forget renders, this is how Moto G6 Play looks in the flesh

Over the past few days, the Internet has been flooded with leaked renders, promotional pictures and rumored specs of the upcoming Moto G6 smartphone series. Earlier today, the Moto G6 32GB model was spotted listed on Amazon USA and Amazon Canada's websites. Now, we get to see another smartphone from the series – the Moto G6 Play – in all its metal+glass glory in hands-on images.

The leaked images were posted by an Instagram user and were first spotted by smartphone leak specialists SlashLeaks.

While most of the details including the specifications of the phone have already been reported earlier, the leaked images reveal some interesting details about the upcoming smartphone.

The same handset (Moto G6 Play) had been leaked in a hands-on video a little while ago. 

From the images, we can see that the Moto G6 Play appears to have a shiny glass back panel similar to that of the Moto X4, with a circular camera module at the back which houses a single rear camera sensor along with an LED flash. The back also shows the Motorola logo which reportedly houses the fingerprint sensor.

However, we feel that the leaked images can be that of a dummy of the Moto G6 Play. Something about the screen tells us that it could be a non-functional screen with just a sticker showing the Moto G6 Play's features pasted on top. Notably, there is absolutely no glare on the screen.

Though we are not sure whether the phone is legit and advise you to take it with a pinch of salt, the information displayed on the phone's screen does seem to confirm some of the key specs that we already know about.

It reveals that the device packs a 5.7-inch HD+ 'Max Vision' display. Further in line with earlier reports, it shows a 1.4GHz octa-core processor (probably a Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 or 427) which is listed along with 3GB of RAM. The Moto G6 Play features a 13MP rear camera and an 8MP selfie camera, as per the image.

The image also lists a 4000mAh battery with Motorola's TurboPower fast charging support, and lastly, it also confirms Dual Nano-SIM support.

Meanwhile, in another new leak that has surfaced online, Indian leakster Ishan Agarwal has shared renders of the Moto G6, Moto G6 Plus, and the Moto G6 Play, confirming the design that we have seen in previous leaks.
