Motorola had an event in Brazil today where it announced a couple of new phones. First on the list is the Moto E6 Play, a new entry-level phone.

The Moto E6 Play has a 5.5-inch HD+ Max Vision 18:9 display. There is no notch but you get a thick slab of bezel at the bottom of the screen and a less-thick one at the top. However, Motorola says the phone has been designed to be comfortable in the hand.

There is a MediaTek MT6739 processor paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The phone has a triple card tray which allows you to use 2 SIM cards and a MicroSD card (256GB max. ) at the same time.

The phone has a single 13MP camera on the back with a beauty mode. There is a 5MP camera in front for selfies. The Moto E6 Play has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner as well as face unlock.

There is a 3000mAh battery inside the phone but no support for fast charging. The phone also gets a MicroUSB port for charging and data transfer. There is no mention of the version of Android it is running.

Motorola Brazil didn’t reveal a price but the phone will be available in the UK in January 2020 for £99. The phone comes in blue and black color variants.

Images of an upcoming smartphone believed to be the Motorola Moto E6 Play have just surfaced, revealing two color variants. This leak follows in the footsteps of the Moto G8 Plus and the G8 Play, whose renders recently made it online. It is now being speculated that the smartphone may go official alongside the Moto G8 series that is expected to go official on Oct. 24 in Brazil.

The latest pictures confirm that the Moto E6 Play will be available in blue and black color options. Design elements include a rear panel-mounted fingerprint scanner and a single camera setup with an LED flash module. This is hardly surprising considering the low-end placement of the E6 Play in Motorola’s lineup.

The smartphone is likely to feature a capacitive touchscreen with an aspect ratio of either 16:9 or 18:9. The smartphone features a conventional design, sporting solid bezels on three sides with a thick chin below. All three buttons are positioned on the right edge of the device while the bottom edge houses the microUSD port.

The top edge houses a 3.5mm headphone port while the front camera is placed within the top bezel. The rear panel is composed of plastic, which is the material of choice for budget smartphones. The fingerprint scanner is embedded into the Motorola logo, which adds a nice touch to the design. The device presumably runs on Android 9.0 Pie out-of-the-box. There is no information on the specification of the smartphone.

Motorola will probably showcase the E6 Play alongside the Moto G8, Moto G8 Plus and Moto G8 Play phones on Oct. 24. Additional details regarding the prices and specifications of the smartphone are yet to arrive. The smartphone may go on sale shortly after launch.
