The Moto G2 or Moto G+1 is the star of a new leak, posing for the camera in some new shots to boost excitement ahead of the big unveiling.
Motorola is expected to make several announcements at its Sept. 4 press event, where it should take the wraps off its new Moto X+1 flagship smartphone, the much-touted Moto 360 smartwatch, as well as the successor to the popular Moto G.
The new budget solution from Motorola is expected to launch as the Moto G2 or Moto G+1, and should sport some notable improvements over its predecessor. The Moto G has proved to be the company's most successful handset due to its decent specifications and very affordable price point, which means that its successor has some big shoes to fill.
This is not the first time that Moto G2-related leaks surface online, but the latest ones aim to paint a clearer picture of what to expect. First spotted by Phone Arena, Hellomotohk has posted some intriguing teasers on its Facebook page.
The leaked images show some narrower bezels that allow a better screen-to-size ratio for the 5-inch display, which is expected to have a 720p resolution. Other rumored specs for the Moto G2, or Moto G+1, include an 8-megapixel rear camera, a set of stereo speakers on the front, and a microSD card slot for additional memory. As a reminder, the original Moto G did not allow for expandable storage, but Motorola added a microSD card slot with the subsequent Moto G 4G LTE model.
As for the rest of the specs, the Moto G2 is rumored to pack a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 processor under the hood, paired with 1GB of RAM and 8GB/16GB of internal storage capacity.
The Moto G2 is also expected to offer some level of customization through interchangeable back plates, just like its predecessor. Based on this new leak, the Motorola Shells for the G2 should include white, pink, and blue color options.
None of this is official at this point, but we'll likely learn all there is to know about the new Moto G2, or Moto G+1, at Motorola's Sept. 4 event. In the meantime, take all leaks with a grain of salt.
