Lenovo-owned Motorola, which has already launched Moto G6 and Moto G6 Play smartphones in India, is now preparing to launch yet another phone in the Indian market — Moto G6 Plus.

Announcing this, Motorola tweeted, “It’s time to ask for more from your smartphone. Get ready to say hello to the #MotoG6Plus, which is #BuiltForMore with a smart camera and serious performance! Stay tuned.”

Currently, there’s no information available about the phone’s pricing but given that the India pricing of Moto G6 and G6 Play starts at Rs. 11,999 and Rs. 13,999, we are expecting the Moto G6 Plus to be priced around Rs. 20,000.

The Moto G6 Plus comes with a larger 5.9-inch MAX Vision Full HD+ display with 2160 x 1080 pixels screen resolution, 18:9 aspect ratio and Gorilla Glass 3 protection. The glass on the back panel is also protected by a layer of Gorilla Glass.

Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 630 octa-core processor clocked at 2.2GHz along with Adrenographicsaphic processor. It comes in two variants — 4GB RAM with 64GB internal storage and 6GB RAM with 128GB internal storage. There’s also a microSD card support for up to 128GB of storage expansion.

Coming to the optics, there’s a 12-megapixel primary sensor with f/1.7 aperture and a 5-megapixel secondary sensor on the back. There’s an 8-megapixel front-facing snapper with an LED flash for taking selfies and video calling.

There’s a fingerprint sensor on the back side, embedded inside the Moto logo, even though the phone supports Face Unlock feature. Connectivity options include dual-SIM card slots, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, GPS and a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer.

Lenovo-owned Motorola launched the Moto G series models last month with the Moto G6 Plus emerging on top of the pack. There are indications that Motorola may be working on an even higher-end version of the G6 Plus. A couple of live hands-on images showing the device powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 SoC recently surfaced online.

The images seems to be a benchmark test app running on the phone. Curiously,  the Moto G6 Plus presently packs a Snapdragon 660 chipset. The likely possibility here is that the result might have been spoofed or Motorola is working on a Snapdragon 660-powered variant of the G6. From the picture, we can also gather the device will have 6GB of RAM onboard.

It would be recalled that the Moto G6 Plus was also spotted on Geekbench with a Snapdragon 660 chip before it was launched packing SD630 chipset. We also recall the case of the HTC U11 Life which appeared on Geekbench results powered by a Snapdragon 660 processor but the device was launched with a SDM 630 SoC.  Popular tipster  Roland Quandt had explained that benchmark apps wrongly identifies te Snapdragon 630 as Snapdragon 660. Aside from the new chipset, this leaked model will be identical to the already launched Moto G6 Plus. There’s no official word on this new model so we may as well not raise our hopes.
