Motorola has started rolling out the Android 9 Pie update to the majority of its devices. They have already rolled out the Android Pie update for Moto G6, G6 Play, Z3 Play and few other devices. Along with the official availability of the Android 9.0 Pie on Moto G6 Plus and P30 Note device, Kernel source has also been released. The Lenovo owned company has published Android Pie based kernel source codes for both the devices.

It’s a boon for users, as the new kernel source would allow the developers to create custom ROMs based on the Android Pie for both the device. Motorola took to Github and published the new kernel sources for P30 Note and Moto G6 Plus. The first kernel package is for the ‘Chef’ aka P30 Note. Although, a similarly nicknamed named device, Motorola One Power is also speculated to receive the kernel package. Overall, both the devices will get custom ROMs based on Android Pie soon.

Another device is the Moto G6 Plus, nicknamed ‘Evert’.  The kernel source for G6 Plus will not be compatible with the Moto G6 device. Although, concerned developers can start downloading the kernel source from the source link below.

Motorola has always remained ahead in distributing the kernel source code of their devices. It’s a rule distribute the new kernel source code under the GPLv2 license of Linux which legally necessitates kernel source code distribution.

Additionally, Motorola launched P30 Note in Septemeber, 2018 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 636 chipset. It is available in 4/6GB RAM and 64 GB internal storage. On the other hand, Moto G6 Plus launched last year in May with Snapdragon 630 chipset. It is available in two different variants of 4/6GB RAM and 64/128 GB internal storage. Both devices have received a good response and managed to garner huge sales.

Now, the availability of Android Pie Kernel source of both the devices will open doors for third-party ROMs development. By the way,  How many of you are eagerly waiting for customised Android Pie based ROM?

Motorola has updated the Moto G6 Plus changelog on its official website in India and part of the changes seen on it, is that the company will soon push Android Pie update for the Moto G6 Plus in India. The G6 Plus made its debut in India in September 2018 after the launch of the Moto G6 and G6 Play. The device was launched pre-installed with Android 8.1 Oreo just like its siblings but looks like the G6 Plus will be the first to get the Pie.

The changelog was first spotted by a Reddit user on Motorola’s website and apart from bringing Android Pie, the update will also bring the December Android security patch. However, Motorola is yet to officially disclose when Android Pie will roll out for the Moto G6 Plus. The changelog is an indication that it won’t be long before that will happen. When that happens, the Moto G6 Plus will be the second phone after the Motorola One Power Android One smartphone to officially get the Pie update. In addition, the Moto X4 was also reported to be receiving the Pie update but there is no official announcement in that regard.

Lenovo’s Motorola isn’t going to launch the Moto G7 until next year but the model is gradually cropping up in leaks quite often. Just recently, a concept render of the device was shared online. Right now, the logo of the next-gen models has been spotted online. The logos are for the Moto G6 and G7 Plus. That of the G7 Play is conspicuously missing. If the latest rumour is any thing to go by, the Moto G7 Play may likely not get launched next year.

The Moto G6 Play this year only had a bigger battery over its predecessor which is sort of a disappointment. Perhaps, Motorola is trying to trim down the G series products lineup but we can’t say for sure. This could as well be a rumour.

It is too early to start guessing the specs the Moto G7 and G7 Plus will eventually pack. However, it is safe to assume they will have midrange Snapdragon chipsets, elongated 18:9 displays, and, hopefully, will eschew the notch again.

2018 is a year which brought mid-range smartphones at a considerably higher level. Even affordable handsets started being innovative and, for many users, it is no more necessary to get a flagship in order to have a perfect phone for their needs. In this article, we will compare Moto G6 Plus, Nokia 6.1 Plus, and Oppo F9 Pro as we think they are among the handsets able to offer most surprises when it comes to save money and get a device under $300/$350. After reading the comparison, you can let us know which one would you buy in the comment box below.

Moto G6 Plus vs Nokia 6.1 Plus vs Oppo F9 Pro

Design

Before releasing the Find X this year, Oppo kept releasing upper-midrange handsets instead of flagships for 4 years. That is why even Oppo mid-rangers have a flagship-like design, and that is why we suggest you get an Oppo F9 Pro if you want the best look. It offers a tri-borderless design with a small waterdrop notch and a very narrow chin, as well as an elegant glass back which is available in gradient color variants. In the second place, there is Nokia 6.1 Plus: it boasts a notch as well, just a little bigger, and a glass back; but it is less attractive than its opponent. In my opinion, Moto G6 Plus is the worst one in terms of design, but it is splash resistant.

Display

When it comes to displays, it is not easy to choose a winner because these devices have similar displays both on the paper and in daily use. Moto G6 Plus and Oppo F9 Pro have a wider screen (note that 18:9 displays are bigger than 19:9 displays with the same diagonal), while Nokia 6.1 Plus is more compact and easy to use with one hand. I would personally choose Oppo F9 Pro due to its high surface and its great viewing quality, but the other twos are not so distant in terms of display quality.

Hardware & Software

The device I like the most for its hardware and software sides is Nokia 6.1 Plus. First of all, it offers a chipset (the Snapdragon 636) which is a perfect compromise between performance and efficiency. Secondly, the device is equipped with Android One, a stock version of the operating system supported directly by Google with fast and constant updates. Oppo F9 Pro takes the second place as its MediaTek Helio P60 is very powerful and it comes with up to 6 GB RAM.

Camera

After checking photos taken from each device, I can say that Moto G6 Plus has the most impressive rear camera. With its bright f/1.7 aperture it shoots very detailed photos and it can capture a huge amount of light. On the other hand, Oppo F9 Pro offers a better selfie snapper with a resolution of 25 MP which is also AI-backed with very interesting features. I saw less convincing photos with the Nokia 6.1 Plus.

Battery

With its big 3500 mAh battery, Oppo F9 Pro boasts the longest battery life. It is able to reach the end of the day even when used continuously. And it even has the fastest charging technology, so the fact that the battery is bigger does not mean that it takes longer to fully charge. When it comes to Moto G6 Plus and Nokia 6.1 Plus, it is a close fight and the battery life depends on the usages, but they last more or less the same.

Price

In India, Moto G6 Plus was released a few days ago in the 6 GB RAM configuration, with a price tag of about $310. Nokia 6.1 Plus costs about $222, while Oppo F9 Pro carries a price tag of about $333. Oppo F9 Pro is the winner of the comparison, but Nokia 6.1 Plus is the one with the best value for money.

After launching the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Play smartphones in India, the Lenovo-owned Motorola has now launched the top-end model of the Moto G6 lineup in India — Moto G6 Plus.

The Moto G6 Plus comes with a larger 5.9-inch MAX Vision Full HD+ IPS 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, ensuring safety from the minor scratches.

Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 630 octa-core processor clocked at 2.2GHz along with Adreno graphics processor. It comes in two variants — 4GB RAM with 64GB internal storage and 6GB RAM with 128GB internal storage. In India, the company has launched only the 6GB RAM variant. 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, with support for Dual Autofocus Pixel technology. There’s a 16-megapixel front-facing snapper, instead of the 8MP snapper on the global variant. It comes with an LED flash and supports group selfie mode, beautification mode, manual mode, and face filter.

There’s a fingerprint sensor on the front side, placed on the bottom chin just below the display, even though Moto G6 Plus supports the 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, and 3.5mm headphone jack. Thanks to the nano water-resistant coating, the device comes with protections against water splash.

The smartphone runs on Android 8.1 Oreo operating system out-of-the-box with some value-added Moto apps. The company has also said that the phone could receive Android Pie update in a couple of months. The device is powered by a 3,200mAh battery with support for Motorola’s TurboPower that claims to deliver 7 hours of usage on a charge of 15 minutes.

The Moto G6 Plus is priced at Rs. 22,499 (approximately $310) and comes in Deep Indigo color. It’ll be available for purchase from today on Amazon and Moto hub offline retail stores. At this price point, it will compete against the likes of Xiaomi POCO F1, which comes with far better specifications compared to G6 Plus.

Lenovo-owned Motorola has only launched Moto G6 and Moto G6 Play smartphones in India. Through its official Motorola India Twitter handle, the company has now confirmed that the Moto G6 Plus smartphone which is the third member of the Moto G6 family will be debuting in India on Sept. 10.

Through a launch event in April, Motorola Brazil had already introduced Moto G6, Moto G6 Play and Moto G6 Plus handsets. After announcing the G6 and G6 Play in June in India, the company is all set to debut the G6 Plus in the coming week. The arrival of the smartphone was first teased in the previous month and today comes the official confirmation on its launch date.

The Moto G6 Plus features a 5.93-inch IPS LCD Max Vision display that supports 18:9 aspect ratio and Full HD+ resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels. The Snapdragon 630 chipset is present under the hood of the phone. The phone was launched in Brazil in 4 GB and 6 GB RAM options. Both variants feature 64 GB of internal storage and there is a microSD card slot for additional storage. It is preinstalled with Android 8.1 Oreo OS. It draws power from 3,200mAh battery which carries support for Turbo charging.

The back panel of the Moto G6 Plus is equipped with a dual camera setup. It has a f/1.7 aperture 12-megapixel primary sensor enabled with Dual Autofocus Pixel technology which is coupled with 5-megapixel secondary sensor. The “M” logo on the rear shell is embedded with a fingerprint sensor..

The other features of the Moto G6 Plus are 4G VoLTE, Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5, GPS, NFC, USB-C and 3.5mm audio jack. The handset measures 160 x 75.5 x 8 and it weighs 167 grams. It comes with P2i water-repellant nano coating that protects it from water splashes. Its color variants are Deep Indigo and Nimbus.

There is no information available on the pricing of the Moto G6 Plus for India. The 3 GB and 4 GB RAM variants of the Moto G6 are respectively priced at Rs. 13,999 (~$196) and Rs. 15,999 (~$224) whereas the Moto G6 Play is priced at Rs. 11,999 (~$168). Probably, the G6 Plus may hit India with a starting price of Rs. 16,999 (~$238).

The Moto G6 Plus was unveiled back in May and one of the biggest changes Motorola (or Lenovo) made to the 6th generation Moto G phone is the switch to an 18:9 display. Today, live photos of another phone also said to be the Moto G6 Plus surfaced online and it is entirely different from the Moto G6 Plus currently sold in the market.

Moto G6 Plus???

The photos show the phone does have reduced bezels to accommodate a taller screen. However, the screen has a notch and this is not the type of notch on the Motorola P30 but the water-drop notch of the OPPO F9 Pro.

The device is powered up and the “About phone” section states the device’s name as the “moto g(6) plus”. It also reveals it has dual SIM support. But that’s not all. At the bottom of the screen, the model and hardware name says “ moto g4”.

A second photo shows the back of the phone. It has a nice-looking reflective red finish. We want to believe it is glass. There are also dual cameras with a black band around them. The entire camera setup maintains a similar circular and raised design as Motorola’s current offerings. However, this Moto G6 Plus has its fingerprint scanner under the batwing logo like that of the Motorola P30.

Probably Moto G6S Plus

While the About Phone section does say it is the Moto G6 Plus, we believe this might be the Moto G6S Plus, a refresh of the Moto G6 Plus and a successor to last year’s Moto G5S Plus.

According to the source, the phone has two variants. There is one with 4GB of RAM and 32GB of storage and another one with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. It packs a 3,200mAh battery and a Snapdragon 630 processor.

We are not surprised the battery and the processor are the same as that of the Moto G6 Plus. Motorola did the same thing with the Moto G5 Plus and Moto G5S Plus. They changed the design of the phone but kept the processor and battery capacity. Though they did upgrade the cameras.

Only time will tell if this is the Moto G6S Plus or a different device entirely.

Motorola One

The  Moto G6 Plus wasn’t the only phone whose live photo leaked. A photo of a second phone called the “Motorola One” was also posted by the source. The Motorola One has a notch, and it is a wide one like that of the P30.

The About Phone section is also visible and it reveals the phone is running Android 8.1 Oreo with August 2018′ security patch. We want to believe this is the international variant of the Motorola P30, so there is nothing much to talk about.

Hopefully, more info about the launch of both devices will surface soon.

Lenovo-owned Motorola has now officially released the kernel source code for the Moto G6 and Moto G6 smartphones. The kernel source code for the third model of the Moto G6-series, Moto G6 Play was released in April earlier this year.

With this, developers will now be able to use the source code and create some custom kernels as well as custom ROMs that the customer can flash onto their Moto G6 or Moto G6 Plus smartphones. The Android 8.0 Oreo kernel source code for both the Moto G6 and Moto G6 Plus can be found on GitHub.

The Moto G6 comes with a 5.7-inch display with Full HD+ display along with Gorilla Glass 3 on both sides. Under the hood, the device is powered by Qualcomm‘s Snapdragon 450 processor, 3GB/4GB of RAM, and 32GB/64GB of expandable storage.

There is a fingerprint scanner below the display that can be used to control the device using gestures. There’s a 12MP f/1.8 primary camera sensor and a 5MP secondary camera for capturing the depth of field information. On the front side, there’s an 8MP snapper with its own LED flash.

It runs Android 8.0 Oreo operating system out of the box and is powered by a 3,000mAh battery with support for TurboPower fast charging.

On the other hand, the Moto G6 Plus features a 5.9-inch MAX Vision Full HD+ display with Gorilla Glass 3 protection. Under the hood, it is powered by Snapdragon 630 processor and comes in 4GB/6GB RAM variants with 64GB/128GB of storage.

There’s also a microSD card slot, which enables users to further expand the phone’s storage up to 128GB. This one too comes with dual camera setup at back, boasting a 12MP f/1.7 rear camera and a 5MP secondary camera.

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.

Xiaomi recently announced the Mi 6X, its most incredible budget phone till now. And around the same time, Lenovo unleashed the Motorola Moto G6 Plus. Both the devices can be located in the mid-range sector, and this means that they will be sold at a affordable price. By choosing them, you will be able to save a good amount of money and get a device which may leave you satisfied as much as a flagship. You will be far from getting the fastest performance ever, but these smartphones don’t easily disappoint. So are you ready to know their strong and weak points?

If yes, take a look at the Xiaomi Mi 6X vs Moto G6 Plus comparison below.

Xiaomi Mi 6X vs Motorola Moto G6 Plus

Aesthetics are much more refined on the Motorola Moto G6 Plus (even though Mi 6X has a slimmer body), but it’s always a matter of personal preference. But it’s worth noting that the Moto G6 Plus is a splash resistant device, while Xiaomi Mi 6X does not offer any kind of protection against water. But in the hardware department, Xiaomi Mi 6X should do well as it has a higher-end processor. So, on paper, the Mi 6X should provide higher performance in heavy apps and games.

Xiaomi Mi 6X has a promising camera setup composed of  a Sony sensor which also supports AI for scene recognition and selfie beautification. We have compared the Mi 6X’s camera to the Meizu E3, you can check it out here! But do not underestimate Moto G6 Plus as it could be one of the best camera phones in its segment. To recap, the Moto G5 Plus managed to shoot outstanding photos. Also, Moto seems to be consistent in optimising its camera for the best quality shots in its segment, so the G6 Plus should be a worthy contender for the best camera phone in the mid-range segment.

At last, Moto G6 Plus has a slightly bigger battery (3200 vs 3010 mAh), but the margin is too low to establish which device could last more.

Moto G6 Plus will sell for $/€300 in the global market while Xiaomi Mi 6X has been launched in China with a price tag of about $250/€205. It will come in the global market as Xiaomi Mi A2 with Android One. If I lived in China, I would choose Xiaomi Mi 6X due to its wonderful SoC and its capable camera department.

Lenovo-owned Motorola has scheduled a launch event in Sao Paulo, Brazil on 19th April, where the company is expected to launch its next-generation Moto G-series smartphones which include Moto G6, G6 Plus, and G6 Play.

Now, ahead of the official launch, the company posted a teaser video on Twitter, which revealed some key features of the upcoming smartphone. The teaser video, which features either Moto G6 or Moto G6 Plus, confirms earlier reports that the phone will come with a dual camera setup at the back with dual-tone LED flash.

It also reveals that there’ll be a front-facing fingerprint sensor below the display. As the fingerprint sensor is placed on the front side, the phone won’t be coming with an edge-to-edge display. However, we are expecting thin bezels surrounding the display. Furthermore, the video also displays Motorola branding on the handset.

The video also shows a volume rocker placed next to a textured power button, which looks similar to the Alert Slider seen on OnePlus smartphones. However, the teaser does not hint at any of the specifications of the smartphone.

Previous leaks surrounding the Moto G6-series have revealed hardware details. The Moto G6 is expected to come with a 5.7-inch full-HD+ display with 1080 x 2160 pixels screen resolution and is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 processor, coupled with 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of onboard storage.

The Moto G6 Plus, on the other side, is reported to have a 5.93-inch full-HD+ IPS display with 1080 x 2160 pixels resolution. It is expected to come equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 660 chipset, paired with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of inbuilt storage.

As of the camera department, both smartphones are rumored to feature a dual camera setup consisting of a 16-megapixel primary camera sensor and an unknown secondary sensor. On the front side, there’ll be 5-megapixel camera sensor for taking selfies and video calling.

Even though the prices will be different depending on the model, Motorola Moto G6, G6 Plus and G6 Play will have very similar designs. But note that the Play version will be the only one which will not feature a front-mounted fingerprint reader. According to leaks, Moto G6 will come with a 5.7-inch display boasting a Full HD+ resolution and the Gorilla Glass protection.

The sixth-generation Moto G series is set to launch on April 19. This year we will be getting three devices – the Moto G6 Play, the Moto G6, and the Moto G6 Plus. The Moto G6 Plus which is the most powerful of the three has been seen on Geekbench and it reveals a few specification details.

The device was benchmarked earlier today. It runs Android 8.0 Oreo, has 4GB of RAM, and is powered by the Snapdragon 660 (sdm660) processor.

If you have been paying attention to news of the Moto G6 Plus, then you may have read that it is powered by a Snapdragon 630 processor. But Geekbench says it is a Snapdragon 660 chipset, so what could be going on?

Don’t be confused. The Moto G6 Plus actually has a Snapdragon 630 processor and not SD 660 as shown in the benchmark results.

Back in 2017, when the HTC U11 Life was about to be released, Geekbench results showed that it was powered by a Snapdragon 660 processor. However, Roland Quandt said it is actually a Snapdragon 630 and that the benchmark site wrongly identifies it as a Snapdragon 660. When the phone did launch, it came with a Snapdragon 630 processor on board.

Remember, QC SD630 is wrongly identified as 660 quite often in Geekbench. So no, the HTC U11 life does not have a 660.

— Roland Quandt (@rquandt) October 23, 2017

This is the same thing happening now. The Moto G6 Plus will launch with a Snapdragon 630 and it has also been confirmed by retail stores that already listed it ahead of launch.

The Geekbench listing also includes the phone’s benchmark scores. It scored 866 points in the single-core test and 4123 points in the multi-core test. The 6GB RAM variant should have a slightly higher score.

Lenovo-owned Motorola has scheduled a launch event on 19th April where the company is expected to launch its next-generation Moto G-series smartphone — the Moto G6, Moto G6 Plus and Moto G6 Play.

Now, ahead of the phone’s official launch, the Moto G6 Play surfaced online in a short hands-on video. The video, which shows a working unit of the phone, reveals the phone’s design which is in line with the previously leaked renders.

However, the video has been removed by the uploader.

Further, Moto G6 Play is the only model among the three to have a fingerprint sensor placed on the back panel, below the camera module. The other two smartphones — Moto G6 and G6 Plus will feature a fingerprint sensor on the front side, below the display.

The specifications of Moto G6 Play were leaked earlier and suggests that the phone will come with a 5.7-inch HD+ Max Vision display with, 18:9 aspect ratio and 1440 x 720 pixels screen resolution. Under the hood, it is powered by a quad-core processor from Qualcomm, clocked at 1.4GHz, likely to be Snapdragon 430. It will pack 2GB or 3GB RAM and 32GB of internal storage.

The smartphone is said to come with a 5-megapixel front-facing camera with LED flash and a beauty mode, while it will feature a 13-megapixel camera sensor on the rear. Sadly, there is no mention of all the cool features of the Moto G6, such as live filters, object and landmark recognition, portrait mode, and active photos.

He also adds that the G6 Plus will be listed as the LNV-G6P. We believe LNV is short for Lenovo and G6P is of course G6 Plus. It will be powered by the Snapdragon 630, said to have undergone some tuning for battery life and GPU performance. Price for the Moto G6 Plus is put at Rs. 17,000 (~$265).

Moto G6

For the Moto G6, we get to see two new press renders that show the phone in a new silver color variant, as well as some few specs, and a price tag.

The phone will come with the Snapdragon 450 mobile platform, have NFC, and have a 3000mAh battery. It will be be available in Q2 2018 with a Rs. 15,000 (~$234) price tag.

The new render is similar to the previous ones we have seen, save for the color which is silver. It has dual rear cameras with a near identical design as that of the Moto X4. The only difference is the position of the LED flash which is below the sensors in the Moto G6.

The back is said to be made of glass. A Motorola logo is beneath the cameras and a secondary mic lies at the bottom of the phone.

The front of the phone also looks very much like that of the Moto X4 with a few changes. There are just two holes on opposite sides of the earpiece which house the front camera and a sensor. However, there are reports it will have a selfie LED flash.

One major change coming to the next gen Moto G phone is the shape of the home button/fingerprint scanner. It is still pill-shaped but has been made thinner and longer but still doubles as a fingerprint scanner.
