News about Motorola's Moto G (3rd Gen) are getting better and better. We reported earlier today that the smartphone will be available for around €200 ($215) outright, which is quite a good deal considering its specs.

Today, a new set of pictures offers us a glimpse of what's to come, but also confirms another piece of technology that was only rumored until now.

It looks like the Moto G (3rd Gen) will indeed feature IPX certification, which means it will be dust and water resistant (up to 1m for 30 minutes).

The new pictures have been leaked via MobileSyrup and also confirm other specs that we already knew about, such as the 2,470 mAh battery, microSD card slot (up to 128GB) and 4G LTE support.

On the back, the Moto G (3rd Gen) will pack a 13-megapixel photo snapper with autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, while in the front there will be a 5-megapixel selfie camera.

The dual cameras are confirmed by the images of the alleged Moto G (3rd Gen) that have just surfaced online, along with the fact that the smartphone will be equipped with a quad-core processor.

Snapdragon 410 or Snapdragon 610 CPU?

Previous rumors claim the Moto G (3rd Gen) should be powered by a 64-bit 1.7GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 610 processor or a 1.4GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 CPU, paired with 2GB of RAM.

Although the device is said to pack only 8GB of internal memory, we mentioned earlier that it features microSD card slot for memory expansion.

Last but not least, Motorola Moto G (3rd Gen) is expected to sport a decent 5-inch capacitive touchscreen display that supports HD (720p) resolution.

There's a chance that Motorola might launch two Moto G (3rd Gen) models on July 28, which should pack different amount of RAM and possibly storage.
