Motorola finally took wraps off its new line of mid to low-end budget smartphones that includes Moto G6, Moto G6 Play and the Moto G6 Plus. The Moto G6 Plus is the top line phone of the new G series. Another device currently in this mid-range category is the Xiaomi’s Redmi Note 5 Pro. Motorola disappointed many users by going with the Snapdragon 630 SoC for the Moto G6 Plus because Xiaomi has already used the Snapdragon 636 SoC on the Note 5 Pro. But the G6 Plus scores on the design front, which has been the forte for Motorola over the last couple of years. So how will Moto G6 Plus hold against its main competitor.

Design & Display
The Moto G6 Plus comes with an updated design featuring a bezel-less 18:9 screen format and 3D glass rear panel. The front also houses the physical home button with integrated fingerprint scanner under the display. Overall, the Moto G6 Plus has a very premium look, especially in the mid-range category.
The Xiaomi Note 5 Pro’s design is as mainstream as G6 Plus, though it sports full metal unibody design. The lack of physical home screen button on the front forces the company to go with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
As for the display, the Moto G6 Plus packs in a 5.9-inch IPS LCD display with Full HD+ resolution, 18:9 aspect ratio and is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass. The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro also has a 5.99-inch IPS LCD with FHD+ resolution and Corning Gorilla glass protection.
Performance
The Moto G6 Plus is powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 630 SoC paired with either 6GB or 4GB of RAM. While the base model comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB onboard storage, the top-tier model will have 6GB and 128GB of memory.
