We also gave PUBG: Mobile a run on its lowest settings, and we still had no issues other than long load times. Super Mario Run took a moment to load, but we had no problems playing the game without lag. We did try running a few graphics-intensive games on the G6 Play, and we were pleasantly surprised. It’s still capable of handling most tasks like browsing social media, the web, and messaging, but performance will just get worse over time, so it’s a little worrying. There’s a noticeable delay when opening new applications or when multitasking with split screen view. In our day-to-day use of the phone, performance was acceptable, though a bit sluggish. Motorola does also offer a model with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage at a lower price, but we did not review this version. There’s a MicroSD card slot in case you want to add more storage. The Moto G6 Play is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 430 processor, 3GB of RAM, and it comes with 32GB of storage.

Like the other G6 series phones, the Moto G6 Play doesn’t have an IP rating for water resistance, but it also lacks the water resistant coating that comes standard on the G6 and G6 Plus. There’s thankfully a transparent case included in the box that offers some protection. While we love the high gloss design, it definitely picks up plenty of smudges and scratches. Our review model is the Deep Indigo version of the Moto G6 Play, and it’s the only color available in the U.S. Sadly there’s only one speaker output - the top earpiece. The similarly-priced Honor 7X uses MicroUSB as well, so it certainly must help keep the cost down. It would have been nice to see it on the G6 Play, but it’s not a dealbreaker.

#MOTO G6 ATT SIGNAL BOOSTER ANDROID#
Motorola added the USB Type-C charging port to the Moto G6 and G6 Plus - it’s the same port you’ll find on almost all other Android phones - but the company said it will likely bring USB Type-C to all its budget options starting next year. A MicroUSB charging port is on the bottom, which is a little disappointing. The volume rocker and power button sit on the right edge, and up top is a 3.5mm headphone jack. We don’t mind, and the phone looks quite modern considering its price. The edges surrounding the screen have slimmed down (especially on the top), though they are chunky when compared to other smartphones. Colors, on the other hand, were vivid and the phone got bright enough to see outdoors. It’s satisfactory, though text and images aren’t as sharp as you’ll find on the other G6-series phones or even the similarly priced Honor 7X. The IPS LCD screen has a resolution of 1,440 x 720 pixels with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The Motorola logo on the back is more than enough. We’re not sure why Motorola needs to add its brand name to the front of the phone, as it looks a bit tacky. The top is home to an 8-megapixel selfie camera and flash, while the bottom features the Motorola logo.

The fingerprint sensor is also on the rear in an easy-to-access position.įlip the Moto G6 Play around and you’ll find a 5.7-inch display, with bezels on the top and bottom. Best of all, it’s nearly flush with the body, so it’s easier to use the phone when it’s laying flat on a desk. There’s the same round camera module on the back of the G6 Play as the other two G6 phones, but it only packs a single-lens camera. The back of the G6 Play is plastic, a choice we prefer as there’s a much smaller chance for cracks.
