[Rumour] Moto G2 possibly benchmarked, shows its specs

[Esoteric Eric]

The Moto G was released last November, but it looks like there's already a successor for it on the way. An image allegedly showing the next Moto G (which we'll call G2 for simplicity's sake, even though the official name hasn't been confirmed yet) popped up last month.

And now the upcoming smartphone may have gotten its specs outed by a benchmark. A Motorola device with the model number XT1063, which could in fact be the Moto G2, has been spotted in the GFXBench database.

It comes with a 5-inch 720p touchscreen, the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset as its predecessor (with a 1.2 GHz quad-core CPU), 1GB of RAM, 8GB of internal storage, a 2MP front camera, and an 8MP rear snapper. The device runs Android 4.4.4 KitKat.

The biggest updates compared to the original G are in terms of screen size (up from 4.5 inches) and camera resolution, both on the front and on the back. The Moto G has a 5 MP rear unit, and a 1.3 MP one for selfies.

Everything else has stayed the same, though, so this won't be a revolutionary update to the G line for Motorola. Perhaps the light additions will allow the company to out the G2 alongside the flagship Moto X+1 this fall.

Too bad, I was planning on getting this for my cousin, had they improved it a bit

Snapdragon 400 won't even remain a mid-range SoC by the time it hits the market

last time G2 leaked with a 4.7" display. looks like Motorola will launch more than 3 devices this time. E2 with 4.5", a cheap phablet with 5", the successor to G with 4.7" & then we have X+1 and a highend phablet.

If this really turns out to be the G2 later, then it will be the worst successor from Motorola till date.

boringggggg... same old phone with large screen and better camera

Sd 410 is already released and moto stuck at 400

 

[ankush28]

the factor that can still change your mind is PRICING

This is Moto E2 probably.

Exclusive: 5-inch Moto G2 to ship on Sept 10 for €250 - GSMArena.com news

We also got some idea of the expected pricing - about €250. That's double the original Moto G price and about 25% above the current Moto G 4G model.

OMG!
That's over priced... with the pricing I highly doubt the "leaked" specs are true, like some comments over various websites say, the leaked specs might be a E2 .
It's much better to get moto g or x
