Moto G6 Plus launched for a costly Rs 22,499 ($311) in India

The Moto G6 Plus has finally landed in India after quite a while. The series is already months old and the two Moto G6/G6 Play launched in June so it's a bit of a bummer that the most premium member of the series didn't arrive on time in India. Furthermore, the pricing of the handset - Rs.22,499 is just not in tune with what is the current trend in India. It will be sold online at Amazon.in and retail stores across the country in a single Black colour.

Being the most expensive member of the G Series to date, the Moto G6 Plus comes with a Snapdragon 630 chipset and is coupled with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of internal (expandable up to 256GB) storage. The display is a 5.93-inch Max Vision IPS LCD display with 1080 x 2160 Full HD+ resolution, not much different from what we've seen before. It's topped by Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Camera-wise, the Moto G6 Plus has an array of dual 12MP +5MP "Smart" shooters at the back and a Dual Pixel PDAF. The Indian variant has been endowed with a much stronger 16MP selfie shooter while the global version has an 8MP sensor.

There's Android 8.0 Oreo which is very close to stock Android with the promise of Android 9 Pie (no timelines). There's a 3,200mAh juice pack inside the phone enabled with Turbo Charging and a USB Type-C port.

The handset is pretty darn expensive when you compare it to what the POCO F1, Honor Play offer at an even less price in India.
