The Moto G is, despite its strong pedigree, beginning to show its age. The device has been on the market for nearly eight months, and Motorola is unlikely to let the momentum for its top-selling smartphone slow anytime soon.
So it makes sense that the company is readying a successor, one that sports a similarly-sized screen and unchanged internals. This, according to Spanish-language site, Mallandono Android, is what Motorola has planned for its Moto G successor. Dubbed Moto G2, with model number XT1068, the device purportedly has a 720p display, a quad-core ARMv7-based chip (likely the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 SoC), dual-SIM capabilities and an 8MP rear camera sensor.
The last one is the only notable improvement over the Moto G’s 5MP shooter, but it’s difficult to say with any certainty that these are the final specs. The phone itself looks similar enough to the current model, while taking cues from the Moto E’s single-line speaker grill, to be considered a side step and not a successor.
What we do know is that Motorola, irrespective of owner, will certainly continue the Moto G line, improving upon what has proven to be a resilient workhorse for the industry’s underserved low-end market.
