Motorola teases release of 5G Snapdragon 870-powered Moto G100

Back in December, Motorola announced that it would soon be releasing a Moto G-branded smartphone with one of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 800-series chipsets on the inside.

Now, the Chicago-based brand has started teasing that smartphone’s international release.

Motorola's next phone will use the Snapdragon 870

An 18-second video published to Twitter confirms that Motorola’s next smartphone is going to be powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 870 5G chipset. The latter was introduced at the start of the year with budget flagships in mind.

Taking a closer look at the video reveals a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and what appears to be a multifunction button that can be configured to open specific apps, such as the camera.

A glimpse at the bottom of the phone confirms the presence of a headphone jack and a USB-C port that presumably enables some form of fast charging, likely Motorola’s 20W tech.
