New Motorola Moto G5 Plus image shows up, reveals some features

First spotted in early January, the unannounced Motorola Moto G5 Plus can now be seen in a new leaked photo. Apparently originating from Brazil, the photo shows the smartphone with a marketing cover over its display - thus, we can check out some of its highlight features.

Until now, we assumed that the Moto G5 Plus would sport a 5.5-inch display, but the newly leaked image shows that the screen is actually a 5.2-inch one. This means that the Moto G5 Plus won't be significantly larger than the normal, 5-inch Moto G5 (which is expected to be launched alongside it). In any case, the screens of both models will offer 1080p resolutions.

The G5 Plus is powered by a 2 GHz octa-core processor (probably a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625), further featuring NFC, fingerprint scanner, a 12 MP "rapid focus" rear camera, and a 3000 mAh battery with TurboPower quick charging. While this isn't confirmed by the new photo, the smartphone should have 4 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal memory, almost certainly running Android 7 Nougat.

Both the Moto G5 Plus and Moto G5 will likely be announced at MWC 2017 on February 26, and could hit shelves around the world as soon as March.
