2016 Moto G release date, specs, features rumor: New generation Moto G surfaces in supposed leak photos

It seems that the new Moto by Lenovo brand is already gearing up for a new project release, as supposed leaks of the 2016 Moto G start appearing online.

According to The Verge, a possible sighting of the entry-level, 2016 edition of the Moto G has been showcased in a video uploaded on YouTube. In the footage, it can be seen that the device looks like a generic Android smartphone, and it lacks the physical square-shaped home button that is a signature of previous Moto G handsets. In addition, it can also be surmised that the fourth-generation Moto G will also have a larger display than the previous 5.0-inch one, since it looks considerably larger when compared side by side with a supposed Moto X handset.

Under the hood, Android Pit expects the 2016 Moto G to feature a Snapdragon 430 processor, as tech manufacturer Qualcomm said it will be the chipset they will offer for all mid-range devices. Meanwhile, as per the leaks, it can be expected that the display will be larger than 5 inches found in the 2015 Moto G. The previous iteration also has 720p resolution, and if Lenovo chooses to upgrade the display size of the 2016 iteration, the new Moto G may also come out with 1080p screen.

Noted tipster Evan Blass has also recently posted a supposed Moto G (2016) in white, further cementing the rumors that the new Moto By Lenovo entry is ready to be revealed soon. However, the new "leak" images already carry the physical home button with fingerprint reader, which was missing in early leaks of the device. Interestingly, there are rumors that Lenovo plans to release two versions of the 2016 Moto G, a base model without the biometric scanner, and a "Plus" version with the home button, step-up specs, and a larger display.

The new rendered image also shows the redesigned camera setup at the back of the device, with at least two sensors on top of the lens.
