The Moto G6 and the Moto G6 Play also has small bezels on left and right side of the display, but, the bottom bezel is relatively large. And, unlike the Moto G6 that has a fingerprint scanner on the bottom bezel, the Moto G6 Play only has the Motorola moniker on its bottom bezel. But it does have the fingerprint sensor on the back below the camera. It’s actually embedded on the Motorola batwing logo.
The Moto G6 has a 3D glass design at the rear and is also covered with Gorilla Glass 3 on both the sides. However, the rear of the Moto G6 Play is covered with polymer glass.
