The latest Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus leak shows the two upcoming smartphones in all their glory. 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.

Under the hood, the smartphone is said to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 625 SoC paired with 4GB of RAM. It is expected to come in two storage options of 16GB and 32GB. In the photography department, the Moto G5 Plus is expected to sport a 16-megapixel rear camera with dual-LED flash, along with a 5-megapixel front camera for selfies. Again, certain reports claim that the smartphone will come with a 12-megapixel rear camera with ‘Rapid Focus’.
It is expected to be fuelled by either a 3,080mAh battery or a 3,000mAh battery with Turbo Charging support. It is also expected to come with NFC support.
