According to earlier rumors, Android P would feature Material Design 2.0 with revamped icons, animations, and colors.

Earlier today, the first set of images of what may be our first live look at the new Moto G6 Play surfaced through Taiwanese certification site NCC. The device certainly matches up in style to previous render leaks.

The Moto G6 Play (XT1922-1) would feature a Snapdragon 430 chipset, which is quite old. Motorola could have used the Snapdragon 450, which is better than the SD430. Additionally, the device would come with Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box.

According to earlier leaks, G6 Play would get a HD Display with an 5.7" Screen Size. It has a giant 4000mAh with fast charging. The device will ship with dark charcoal, gold, and deep blue colors.

Moto G6 Smartphones were orignally planned for the MWC, but due to some reason, Motorola cancelled the launch event. However, the company is expected to announce the devices in a few days.
