The device is officially launched on April of this year and is currently available in the market for 10,703 INR. As per the price tag, the device seems to be a budget-oriented smartphone. However, Motorola customers want to know whether Moto G6 Play is waterproof or not. So to answer that question, Getdroidtips is conducting a Moto G6 Play waterproof test.

So when we subject Moto G6 Play to artificial water splash, the device seems to work fine. No damage is registered at all. However, since the device is lacking an all body oleophobic coating, it becomes slippery in such conditions. With this test, we can conclude that the device is indeed splash proof to some extent.
