It seems that there is a lot of news about Motorola devices recently. We recently talked about the Moto G9 Plus. Now it’s the Play line. The Moto G7 hit the market in early 2019, followed by the G8 the same year. Now it’s time for the next generation – the Moto G9 Play could be the first in the lineup.
Moto G9 Play is spotted on Geekbench running Snapdragon 662 SoC
Now, the results of its test in Geekbench has leaked on the Web. The good news is that the smartphone runs Android 10, unlike, for example, the Moto G8 Power Lite, which unfortunately came out in April this year with 9.0 Pie onboard.
The processor is unknown, but judging by the results, the Snapdragon 662 is waiting for us – the results are too similar to what the Moto G8 and G8 Power (not Lite) achieved. We know the chip is quite old, but it’s still a noticeable upgrade over the Helio P70M that was in the Moto G8 Play.
As a reminder, the G8 Play had a ridiculous 2GB of RAM, while the new model features 4GB. Of course, the top version could be used in testing, so the manufacturer can roll out versions with less RAM and a lower price.
