Motorola is planning to announce a number of new smartphones this year, part of the Moto Z2, Moto X and Moto E line. In addition, new iterations in the Moto G5 series will be unveiled at some point this year and two recently leaked images reveal a live look at the new larger variant.

The Moto G5S Plus surfaced over at Droidholic, showing off its dual-camera setup on the back and full metal body, which is expected to arrive on the Moto G5S too. The smartphone’s frame will be made out of plastic, while the back plate will be completely made of metal, making the phone more durable.

The Motorola logo is visible on the back, with a design slightly different from that on the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus. The display on the new phone will be a 5.5-inch screen with Full HD resolution and made out of IPS LCD. Moreover, the phone will run a 64-bit octa-core Snapdragon 660 chipset and feature a physical home button in the front, with an embedded fingerprint scanner.

Moto G5S Plus will come in gold and gray color options

The dual-camera setup on the back appears to come with a dual-LED flash and will most likely have support for 1080p video recording. Color options for the Moto G5S Plus will include gold and gray, while the standard Moto G5S will surely be offered in the same hues.

The Moto G5S and Moto G5S Plus will run Android Nougat out of the box and the two smartphones will feature a 3.5mm headphone jack, together with USB Type-C port. The standard Moto G5S will be slightly smaller, with a display size of 5.2 inches and 1080p resolution.

Motorola recently unveiled the Moto C and Moto C Plus with prices starting at €89, but the company’s most exciting announcement of this year is related to the Moto Z2 line with premium specs and support for Moto Mods, just like the previous models that were released last year.
