Motorola is hosting a big event on May 17, so we might get to see the much-rumored Moto G4 and G4 Plus sooner than previously thought.
Just last week, Lenovo touted an "exciting" new Motorola device set to debut on June 9, and the Moto G4 and G4 Plus were the first that came to mind.
With an event now set for May 17, however, the two upcoming Moto G4 models could arrive sooner, while Motorola may be preparing something else for June.
Lenovo and Motorola may be saving that June event for the flagship Moto X (2016), believed to be the handset that was recently spotted in benchmarks with the code name "Sheridan."
For now, Motorola sent out invitations for May 17, when it will hold events in New Delhi and Mexico. Since we now expect to see the Moto G4 and G4 Plus in May, here's what we know so far about the two devices.
The Moto G4 is rumored to feature a 5.5-inch full HD display, an octa-core processor, 2 GB of RAM, a 13-megapixel main camera and 16 GB of built-in storage, among the highlights.
The Moto G4 Plus, meanwhile, is expected to share many specifications with the G4, potentially even the screen size and resolution, but it's said to have a better 16-megapixel rear camera, as well as a front-mounted fingerprint scanner embedded in the home button.
Both smartphones are rumored to come with metal frames and plastic backs, and launch in Black and White color options, with interchangeable rear covers in different colors.
It remains to be seen which of these rumored specs will turn out to be accurate, however. As always with leaks, rumors and speculation, it's best to take all reports with a healthy dose of skepticism until formal confirmation.
If the Moto G4 and G4 Plus are indeed set to hit the scene on May 17, we'll get the official scoop straight from the source soon enough. We'll keep you up to date as soon as we learn more, so stay tuned.
