Several images that claim to show the Moto G (3rd Gen) have popped up from various online sources. Google+ user Neo Lee has shared four pictures that are said to have come from “a Chinese digital forum,” showing the front and back of a mysterious Motorola phone running with Android 5.1.1. The device identifies itself as “XT1543” and has a design that’s reminiscent of past Moto G phones, with curve corners and a dimple on its backside with the Motorola logo. However, the phone’s also got a silver insert that includes the aforementioned dimple as well as the camera with flash. Meanwhile, a YouTube video (which has since been removed) spilled what could be some of the specs of Motorola’s new Moto G. The phone is said to include a 5-inch display, Snapdragon 410 processor, 13-megapixel primary camera and 5-megapixel secondary camera, 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, LTE, and a microSD slot. A separate Reddit leak that surfaced in May also mentioned that the new G will have 1GB of RAM, adding that it’ll have “an oval shape around the camera similar to LG phones, but much more slim.” According to these leaks, the new Moto G will be a modest upgrade from its predecessor, offering a very similar display and RAM but with slightly-improved cameras and processor. That may not make for a super-exciting update, but so long as Motorola keeps the phone around the same price as past Moto G models, the Moto G (3rd Gen) may follow the footprints of its predecessors as one of the best affordable Android phones available in the market.
