Lenovo Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus are expected to launch later this month at MWC 2017 in Barcelona. Ahead of the official Moto G5 and Moto G5
Plus unveiling, a Spanish online retailer accidentally listed the
yet-to-be-announced smartphones with purported official renders and promotional
materials claiming features, specifications, and other details. It's however
worth noting that the Spanish listing K-Tronix has since pulled down the
listings.
The new leaked renders corroborate
previous leaks, and suggest that the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus will indeed sport
metal bodies and will come with Lenovo branding on the side panels. The front
panel of the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus can be seen featuring fingerprint
scanner, which has been part of previous leaks as well, while the primary
camera can be seen in the circular design at the back. The legendary Moto
"M" logo is embossed at the back as well.
The Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus will come with similar
specifications including full-HD screen resolution, Corning Gorilla Glass 3
cover for protection, run on Android 7.0 Nougat out-of-the-box, and support
expandable storage via microSD card (up to 128GB). Some of the other
similarities in the handsets include fingerprint scanner at the front, 2GB of
RAM, 5-megapixel front camera, and water repellent coating. Both Moto G5 and G5
Plus are expected to come in Lunar Grey and Fine Gold colours.
Coming to the Moto G5 specifications, it will
feature a 5-inch full-HD display with a pixel density of 441ppi; 32GB on board
storage; 13-megapixel rear camera; 1.4 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 430 SoC; 2800 mAh
battery with rapid charging support; 4G LTE support, and measure 144.3x73x9.5mm
while weigh 145 grams. An earlier report has already claimed that the Moto G5
may be priced lower than its predecessor at launch.
Moto G5 Plus, on the other hand, will feature a
slightly larger 5.2-inch full-HD display; 64GB storage; 3000 mAh battery with
TurboPower charging; 12-megapixel camera with dual autofocus feature; powered
by 2 GHz octa-core Snapdragon 625 SoC; 4G LTE, and measure 150.2x74x7.9mm and
weigh 155 grams.
The Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus leaked promotional
material was spotted by a Reddit user while was first reported by Droid-Life. Lenovo
is teasing the Moto G5 launch alongside Moto G5 Plus smartphones at its
February 26 event at the side-lines of MWC 2017 in Barcelona.
