Thanks to a flurry of leaks related to the Moto G5 Plus, we already know what to expect from the device. The Moto G5 until now however was under wraps - beyond a minor leak attributed to a US FCC listing. A new leak from a Brazilian site claims to reveal the specifications of the Moto G5 ahead of its MWC unveiling.

Tecnoblog reports that the Moto G5 will come with model number XT1672 in Brazil and will run Android 7.0 Nougat out-of-the-box. Compared to the Moto G5 Plus which is expected to pack Snapdragon 625 SoC, the Moto G5 is said to include Qualcomm Snapdragon 430 processor coupled with 2GB of RAM.

The Moto G5 is rumoured to be backed by a 2800mAh battery - contradicting the 3000mAh battery report derived from the US FCC listing. Tecnoblog claims that the new Moto model has been spotted in the system of a Brazilian online retailer.

The Moto G5 Plus, on the other hand, is said to feature a 5.5-inch full-HD display with a pixel density of 403ppi, and is said to come powered by a Snapdragon 625 processor. The handset is further rumoured to pack 4GB of RAM and come with 32GB storage. It is expected to run on Android 7.0 Nougat out-of-the-box. For the camera, the smartphone is said to sport a 12-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front camera.
