Design of the Moto G60s
Its construction is in plastic on the back cover and also on the frames, so we will have a good resistance. Your screen is 6.8 inches with fairly small frames on the sides and a slightly thicker lower frame, but, because it has rounded corners, the front is very well used. Also, in the upper central part there is a hole that houses the selfie camera.
