Lenovo-owned Motorola has not confirmed any details of its upcoming smartphones, but rumors of the Moto G5S, Moto Z2 Play, Moto C, and more have been doing the rounds frequently. The entire catalog of 2017 Moto smartphones was also leaked. Rumors point that Motorola may launch the Moto G5S and the Moto G5S Plus soon. However, a launch date remains unknown.
Latest leaked images of the Moto G5S reveals that the phone may come in three color options: blue, gold, and gray. The leaked images also show the rumored handsets from the front as well as the back.
If the alleged images are to be believed, then the phone has a striking resemblance to its predecessor, the Moto G5.
Design similarities between the Moto G5S and its predecessor
The alleged image suggests that the upcoming smartphone will have a fingerprint sensor placed on the home button, which was also present in its predecessor. The Moto logo is squeezed between the earpiece and the top of the display screen. The camera module at the back of the Moto G5 and on the leaked image of the upcoming phone is also identical.
Differences between the two Motorola handsets
Although, the rear camera module on the Moto G5 and the purported image of the Moto G5S seems identical and there are not many design differences.
The older phone had a single rear camera and the same is also visible on the leaked image of the upcoming phone. However, it is rumored that the plus variant of the phone may come with the dual rear camera.
The Moto G5 Plus is available in the United States for less than $300. However, the presence of a dual rear camera can spike the price of the successor.
The body of the original phone was made with a mix of plastic and aluminum. Rumors point that the next-gen Motorola phone will be made only of aluminum, which will also give a premium feel to the device.
Rumored specs of the phones
Speculations suggest that the regular version of the Moto G5S will include a 5.2-inch screen, while the bigger sibling will come with a 5.5-inch display.
The display of both the smartphones will offer 1080p resolution. While the smaller phone may retain the Snapdragon 430 processor, the bigger version of the device could run on Snapdragon 636 chip. Both the phones could come with 3 GB or 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of internal storage.
Both the phones will be targeted towards customers looking at pocket-friendly devices. It is highly likely that the Motorola phones will come running Android 7.0 Nougat straight out of the box. It remains to be seen how swiftly the phones are officially announced.
