The Moto G6 Plus sports uni-body design having a metallic shell with 3D glass cover on the back and on the front; it will feature a 5.99-inch Full HD+ (2160x1080p) display with 18:9 aspect ratio.

It will start at €299 (approx. Rs 24,338) and will be made available first in Brazil and come later to other regions.
