Spotted on Geekbench, Motorola's upcoming Moto G9 Play will sport a 6.2-inch display. The phone will run on a Qualcomm processor clocked at 1.8GHz. The processor is likely to be from Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600-series. The phone is said to have 4GB of RAM.

According to the benchmark listing, Motorola G9 Play will run on Android 10 out-of-the-box. The phone scored 313 points on single-core test and 1370 on the multi-core test.

Launched in October last year, Moto G8 Play features a 6.2-inch display with HD+ resolution. The phone runs on an octa-core MediaTek Helio P70 processor coupled with 2GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage. A 4,000mAh battery powers the phone. It also supports 10W charging.

The phone has three cameras including a 13-megapixel, 2-megapixel and 2-megapixel sensors. It has an 8-megapixel selfie camera. Other key features of the phone include splash-resistant coating, fingerprint sensor, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

That said, Motorola recently launched Moto G8 Power Lite in India. Powered by a 5,000mAh battery, Moto G8 Power Lite has a 6.5-inch HD+ display, MediaTek Helio P35 octa-core processor, and 10W charging.
