As we already reported, a series of images and videos leaked from a certain Lenovo conference room. While the leaked video has shed some light on the upcoming Motorola Moto X 2017, a.k.a Moto X4, another leaked image revealed the entire Motorola lineup for this year. As expected, there will be a Z Play, a Z Force, the aforementioned X is making a comeback, and we will also see new G-series, E-series, and C-series devices. In the G-series, there is a little surprise. Never before has Motorola released an S-line, not in any of its series. According to the leaked slides, the Moto GS and the Moto GS Plus are next in line.
The logical question is, what does the S mean in this situation? Will these devices be improved versions of the Moto G5 and the Moto G5 Plus? They will certainly be slightly larger smartphones. The Moto GS will reportedly have a 5.2-inch display, which is as large as the current Moto G5 Plus’s, while the Moto GS Plus will feature an even larger, 5.5-inch display. Also, the GS Plus seems to come with a dual rear camera setup. Until now, everyone thought that the X will be the first one to deliver a dual camera setup. The Moto GS Plus could actually take its place, instead.
Unfortunately, we don’t have much information on the upcoming device, except the fact that they will be the company’s premium smartphones. This, of course, implies that they will have the best processors, and probably the best specs. Given the fact that the Moto G5 currently comes with a Snapdragon 625, it’s safe to assume that the Moto GS plus will have a Snapdragon 630 or 660 SoC under the hood. This would naturally mean a better GPU also. Depending on the launch date of the new G-series devices, they will run on Android Nougat or the new Android O.
We are sure that new information regarding the Motorola Moto gS and the Moto gS Plus will surface shortly. We are eager to see what Lenovo has prepared for us this time around. The Moto G5 and G5 Plus were released only in March, and April respectively, so the GS and the GS Plus probably won’t be coming very soon. Even so, given the fact that they were on the company’s 2017 list, it’s safe to assume they will arrive before the end of the year.
