Motorola Moto G6 Plus spotted on GeekBench, rocking a Snapdragon 660 chipset

After a few quite extensive leaks, it really did seem like there was little more to learn about Motorola's upcoming Moto G6 family. However, after both the Moto G6 and the Moto G6 Playmade their respective pits tops at GeekBench, today the G6 Plus joined their ranks as well, with a slight twist.

Instead of the Snapdragon 630, it was widely believed to utilize, according toe the benchmark, the tested unit was running a Snapdragon 660, at 2.21 GHz. That being said, the actual test scores themselves don't exactly pan out, since we would expect at least 5000+ multi-core points from said silicon. Still, it could be a case of early and unoptimized software.
If the information does check out, it would entail a not entirely insignificant performance boost for the G6 Plus, from what was originally expected. As far as other alleged specs for the handset go, we expect a 5.93-inch, 18:9 screen with Full HD+ resolution, 4GB of RAM, as reported by the test, as well as a 6GB RAM option. Storage tiers should be 32GB and 64GB, respectively. To top things off, prospective buyers can expect a 12MP, plus 5MP dual camera setup, 3,200 mAh battery and a pretty standard connectivity load-out, including optional Dual SIM support.
The new Moto G6 line is expected to launch on April 19 in Brazil.

New Android Folding Phone Could Beat Samsung

Samsung and Apple are facing competition on the foldable phone front from Chinese Android manufacturer Huawei this year, according to a new report. Citing sources familiar with Huawei’s plans, Korean news publication  ETNews  claims that Huawei is preparing to launch a true foldable phone this November. The date is important because the report suggests that Huawei is launching the device this early with the specific goal of beating Samsung, other Android manufacturers  and  Apple to be the first company to create a fully flexible smartphone. If that’s accurate then it could be bad news for a bigger player like Samsung, which typically prides itself on being first to deliver innovative technology.
