Lenovo-owned Motorola is planning to introduce the next generation G-series of smartphones soon, and this includes Moto G6, Moto G6 Play and Moto G6 Plus devices.

The G6 Plus has been spotted on the benchmarking website Geekbench, which suggests that the phone will come with a Snapdragon 660 SoC and 4 GB of RAM. Geekbench also shows the phone running Android 8.0 Oreo. Interestingly, the phone is listed as running on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 660, which is completely at odds with previous reports. According to a report on GizmoChina, GeekBench has been known to wrongly list the Snapdragon 630 as the 660. Geekbench showed the  **HTC U11 Life** as coming with a Snapdragon 660 whereas it was launched with a Snapdragon 630. The benchmark figures of 866 and 4,123 are also in line with our own Snapdragon 630 benchmark data, indicating that in this case, Geekbench is very likely to be wrong about the 660.
