Motorola Moto X (2017) video and image renders leaked

It also appears that the Moto X (2017) will be going back to the MicroUSB standard, as opposed to the Moto Z's USB Type-C. And we're happy to let you know that the new device will have a 3.5 mm port, unlike the 2016 Lenovo flagship.

If these leaked renders are anything to go by, the device will be a bit on the bulkier side, with dimensions of 150 x 73.8 x 8.4 mm. Adding the signature round camera bump to the phone's thickness, pushes it up to 9.5 mm. To put it in perspective, the current Moto Z is almost twice as thin, measuring at 5.2 mm.

The slightly smaller surface area of the body calls for a slightly smaller display too, with the screen measuring at 5.2”, rather than the 5.5” we saw with the Moto Z.

The lack of both a dual-camera setup and stereo speakers is another giveaway that the next Moto X will not be a top-of-the-line device. In fact, judging by all the compromises that we see in the design, it will most likely be an affordable mid-ranger. Taking away the key selling point of Motorola, the Moto Mods, might prove to drive a lot of potential customers away, though. So, we will have to wait and see how the device will perform on the market.

It is expected that the Motorola Moto X (2017) will be unveiled either at CES next week, or at MWC in Barcelona later next year.
