Motorola announced the Moto G6 (and several variants) on April 19th, 2018. It is the newest phone in the Moto G lineup which is well known for offering great smartphone features at an affordable price.
The G6 has a 5.7″ full HD touchscreen, 1.8 Ghz Octa-core processor, Dual rear camera, and runs Android 8.0 Oreo. It also comes with 3 GB RAM and 32 GB internal storage.
The Moto G6 is available to purchase:
View the Moto G6 (unlocked) on Amazon (Currently exclusively for Prime Members)
View the Moto G6 (unlocked) on BestBuy
View the Moto G6 Play (unlocked only for GSM) on Amazon
View the Moto G6 Plus (international unlocked version only for GSM) on Amazon
Many of the past Moto G versions, such as the Moto G4 and Moto G5, have been very popular with the Tracfone BYOP program because they offer great features at a reasonable price. It is rumored that the Moto G6 will also be released directly from Tracfone, which would also be a great option for Tracfone customers. We will share additional information on this as we learn more.
Let’s see the list of features and specs on the Moto G6
Motorola G6 Features and Specs
- Dual Rear Camera – 13 MP and 5 MP
- 1.8 Ghz Octa-Core Processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 450)
- 3 GB RAM
- 32 GB Internal Storage
- Android 8.0 Oreo
- 5.7″ 1080x2160px Touchscreen
- Corning Gorilla Glass 3
- 3000 mAh battery
- Unlocked and compatible with both GSM and CDMA networks
- Price: $250
One of the most notable specs is the large, 18:9 ratio full HD touchscreen. The previous generation, the Moto G5, had only a 5.2″ screen, but the new Moto G6 bumps that up to 5.7″.
The dual rear camera is another feature usually seen in much more expensive devices and allows for selective focus in portrait mode for a blurry background.
The Moto G6 is fully compatible with both GSM and CDMA carriers which is great for the Tracfone BYOP program.
Motorola is also releasing two variants, the Moto G6 Play and Moto G6 Plus. The G6 Play will have the same size screen, slightly downgraded internal specs, a larger battery, and retail for $199.
Moto G6 Play Features and Specs
- Rear Camera – 13 MP
- 1.4 Ghz Quad-Core Processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 427 or 430)
- 3 GB RAM
- 32 GB Internal Storage
- Android 8.0 Oreo
- 5.7″ 720×1440 HD Touchscreen
- Corning Gorilla Glass
- 4000 mAh battery
- Unlocked and compatible with only GSM networks
- Price: $200
The G6 Play comes with many of the same features in the G6, such as 3 GB RAM, 32 GB storage, and Android Oreo. The Play also has a 5.7″ screen, but at a lower resolution. The processor in the Play is also not as powerful, but the phone does have a larger battery compared to the G6.
For those that don’t need the higher performance from the G6, the Play variant will offer almost all of the same features at a lower price. Unfortunately the Moto G6 Play appears to be only compatible with GSM networks.
The Moto G6 Plus is not expected to be released in the North American market, and only released internationally. But it is still possible to purchase the international version and use it with any GSM carrier through Tracfone.
Moto G6 Plus (international version) Features and Specs
- Dual Rear Camera – 12 MP and 5 MP
- 2.2 Ghz Octa-Core Processor (Qualcomm Snapdragon 630)
- 4 GB RAM
- 64 GB Internal Storage
- Android 8.0 Oreo
- 5.9″ 1080x2160px Touchscreen
- Corning Gorilla Glass 3
- 3200 mAh battery (non-removable)
- Unlocked and compatible with GSM networks
- Price: $350-400
If you are looking for high performance and don’t mind spending a little more, the Moto G6 Plus has more RAM, storage and a faster processor than the G6.
Only the international version of the G6 Plus is available, and it is only compatible with GSM carriers.
We will continue to update this as we gather more details, especially any news about Tracfone releasing their own Moto G6 version. If Tracfone does release the G6, it would certainly jump into our List of the Best Tracfone Smartphones.
