Motorola sure seems to have a lot on its plate right now. While it has already launched the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus, rumor mills suggest there are more smartphones in the pipeline across different price segments. These rumored devices include the Moto E4, Moto X (2017), and Moto Z2. The Lenovo-backed company is also working on an affordable smartphone segment, and two devices set for launch are the Moto C and the Moto C Plus.
We already have a fair idea on what to expect from the upcoming Moto smartphones courtesy of various leaks. Now a set of leaked photos give us a glimpse at what these devices will look like. Let’s start off with the Moto C and Moto C Plus.
Moto C and Moto C Plus
While we already have come across leaked specifications, OnLeaks has put out some renders of what is said to be the new Moto C and Moto C Plus. Based on the renders, the Moto C is said to be thicker than the Plus variant. Another notable difference between the two smartphones is the camera bulge. Apart from this, both smartphones come with common design features like capacitive navigation-buttons, camera module with flash, power and volume buttons on the right hand side, a rear loud speaker, and a front-facing LED-flash. One thing worth mentioning is that fingerprint scanner is missing from both the smartphones.
