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.

If you need a new smartphone but you do not have a high budget, you can not have everything flagships offer. You have to make a choice basing on the features you need the most. That is why you will find a lot of different phones in the same price range focused on different aspect of their specs sheet. Motorola Moto G6 Plus, Vivo V11 Pro and Xiaomi Pocophone F1 recently hitten the Indian market and they are all in the €300 price range; however, they are very different devices. In this comparison, we hope to let you understand which one fits your needs.

Motorola Moto G6 Plus vs Vivo V11 Pro vs Xiaomi Pocophone F1

Design

If aesthetics are your main concern, then you definitely should not go for the Xiaomi Pocophone F1 as it offers a cheap polycarbonate design. Vivo V11 Pro is definitely the most beautiful handset with its very high screen-to-body ratio and a glass back cover available in gradient colors. It even offers an in-display fingerprint reader and a waterdrop notch. Moto G6 Plus is less beautiful in my opinion, but it is splash resistant and it has a very solid build quality.

Display

All of these devices come with a very wide display and a Full HD+ resolution, but the one offering a more pleasing viewing quality is the Vivo V11 Pro thanks to its Super AMOLED technology. It has vivid colors and very deep blacks, and even though it has a notch, it is a minimal one, so it is not invasive. At the second place, there is Moto G6 Plus with its 18:9 display, while I did not like Poco F1’s display so much.

Hardware & Software

Hardware is the strongest point of the Xiaomi Pocophone F1, which is the most affordable smartphone to feature a Snapdragon 845 processor. And it is also the only smartphone in its price range to deliver flagship-level performance. It comes with up to 8 GB of RAM, up to 256 GB of internal storage, and it is perfect for gaming and the most demanding activities. Xiaomi Pocophone F1 also has an optimized version of MIUI for gamers and advanced users with smooth performance.

Camera

The camera department is a close battle between Motorola Moto G6 Plus and Vivo V11 Pro as the Xiaomi Poco F1 does not offer impressive camera performance. We choose Moto G6 Plus due to its great shots in low-light conditions and a very strong autofocus, but on the other hand, Vivo V11 Pro is a better camera phone for selfies thanks to its 25 MP snapper.

Battery

Xiaomi Pocophone F1 is equipped with a 4000 mAh battery and it is a battery life champion. The battery is an important component when it comes to gaming and advanced uses, that is why this phone can guarantee one day of battery life even with a stressed use. The other two handsets have an average battery life.

Price

Motorola Moto G6 Plus hitten India two days ago (6 GB RAM version) with a price tag of about $310 which roughly translates into €267. Vivo V11 Pro costs approximately $361 that is about €281, while you can grab a unit of Xiaomi Pocophone F1 for $289. The most complete phone is definitely Vivo V11 Pro and it wins the comparison, but if you want the max performance get a Poco F1.

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.
