The Moto X phones have traditionally been Lenovo and Motorola’s high-end handsets, until the Moto Z, that is. The Moto Z has since taken over flagship duties, but that doesn’t mean Lenovo is ditching the Moto X though.
Instead, the latest leaks, posted on Google+ and spotted by Android Police, suggest that the 2017 Moto X will be a mid-range handset in many ways. A system menu was shown off in one image, detailing the specs. So what do we have?
No ad to show here.
There’s an octacore Snapdragon 625 processor (MSM8953) and 3GB of RAM, for starters — a capable combination but not something you’ll find in flagships. The former is one of the most frugal chipsets around, but it uses low-power A53 cores rather than any heavy lifting cores.

In the camera department, you’re looking at a dual-camera design, which might be a first for a Moto-branded handset. More camera details weren’t available in this latest set of leaks.
Otherwise, a metal body and a familiar Moto dimple on the back round out the package.
There’s no word on a release date or pricing, but expect it to come in at or just below the Moto Z Play’s price, if anything.
