Most of the time, the phone appears to have a standard reflective back with a dark blue finish, however, when you catch the light just right you’ll spot a bright blue S-shaped reflection carving its way across the G6 Play’s rear. It adds a hint of pizzazz without getting close to garish. The phone’s sides are coated aluminium and the front is toughened glass (but not Gorilla Glass as its similarly-named siblings sport). The other major external difference between the Moto G6 Play and the G6 is the fingerprint scanner.

It sits on the back, instead of the front. Related: Black Friday SIM-only deals I’m a fan of rear fingerprint scanners. It’s indented and easy to reach, too. However, it isn’t quite as fast as the best, plus I’ve found it more picky about finger position than some – particularly after washing your hands. The Moto G6 Play’s scanner may be the first used by some buyers, if they’ve been buying budget phones for years. And in this instance, it’s still fairly reliable and faster than using a passcode.

Other basics that can be ticked off include a headphone jack (often omitted these days) and 32GB of storage. This is plenty for a phone costing £170, but if your storage requirements exceed this then there’s a microSD slot in the SIM card tray as well. Water-resistance is lacking. The standard G6 and G6 Plus have a water-repelling nano-coating, which at least makes them splash-proof.

While the G6 Play is likely to survive being caught in a rain shower, the same can’t be said of a dunk in the bath. The Moto G6 Play also has a micro-USB charge port rather than the now more popular USB-C type. Plus, this device also offers fast-charging, a fantastic extra at the price.

Moto G6 Play – Screen The Motorola Moto G6 Play has a 5.7-inch 18:9 IPS LCD screen, but its resolution is only 1440 x 720 pixels. This is the 18:9 equivalent of 720p, and Moto G phones have used 1080p panels since the Moto G4 in 2016. The important question: will you notice?

On first turning on the Motorola Moto G6 Play, the difference in pixel density is clear. Look a little closer than normal and pixellation is evident. However, within a few hours of use, I stopped noticing.

Nevertheless, there’s no denying the Moto G6’s display is closer in quality to that of a high-end phone. The Motorola Moto G6 Play’s colour and contrast are both strong for a budget device, and you can switch between vivid and natural saturation modes, plus a few colour temperature presets. Comparing directly to the Moto G6, the more expensive phone seems to have a slight edge for bringing out the deepest reds in Vivid mode, but there isn’t much in it.

ONNOVEMBER 13 "MOTO G6 REVIEW: BUDGET CHAMPION" Moto G6 Review: Budget Champion What is the Moto G6? The Moto G6 comes from a prestigious lineage of handsets that offer more bang for your buck than most other smartphones in the same price range. The G6 looks to follow suit with its combination of pleasing aesthetics, timely hardware improvements and serious affordability. Starting at just £220, Motorola gives you an Android smartphone with all the latest mod-cons, like a 5.7-inch 18:9 display with an extended Full HD resolution.

The fingerprint sensor functionality from previous Motos remains but now you have the option of face unlocking too. USB-C fast-charging is now on-hand as is a pair of rear snappers set within the phone’s beautiful glass and metal construction.
