Lenovo's Motorola Moto lineup is brewing another smartphone, dubbed as Motorola Moto M, prior to the releases of Moto Z, Moto G4, and Moto E3. Surprisingly enough, the same phone was recently spotted in Chinese certification website TENAA, with its specification being revealed, while the smartphone also appeared in GFXBench listings.

Motorola Moto M is also expected to use a Mediatek MT6750 chipset that clocks at 1.9 GHz with a Mali T860MP2 GPU. The display will be IPS LCD at 479 pixels per inch density.
The smartphone will also come with two cameras: the rear camera is equipped with a 16 megapixels, autofocus, and LED flash, while its secondary, front-facing shooter will come with 8 megapixels. Security-wise, the Moto M will be powered by a fingerprint sensor.
Moreover, the said new Motorola Moto M, with the model number XT1662, will have a 3000 mAh battery and will have the usual LTE capacity, a dual card stand-by and an Android 7.0 Nougat for its operating system. It will also carry additional memory via microSD slot, according to ScienceWorldReport.
Per TENAA listing, Moto M will also have a metal unibody with a fingerprint scanner located at the back of the phone. For its color variants, the handset will come in two colors: black and white.
Since the listing appears to have two smartphones model numbers, the XT1663 and XT1662, which suggest that the Motorola Moto M might be released in two variants.
