Motorola Moto G (Gen 3) Tipped to Launch on July 28, Moto Maker in Tow

Motorola's latest Moto G smartphone is said to launch on July 28 at an event in Sao Paulo, Brazil. A report claims that the company should start the sale of the smartphone in Brazil on the same day alongside revealing the price. Additionally, popular tipster Evan Blass (of @evleaks fame) has shared a picture of the Motorola Moto G (Gen 3) hinting that the smartphone will come with Moto Maker customisation option.

Tecmundo reports that the Moto G (Gen 3) will be priced at BRL 899 (approximately Rs. 18,000). Some of the purported specifications tipped in the report include a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels); a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor clocked at 1.4GHz; an Adreno 306; 8GB and 16GB storage options with microSD card support; a 2470mAh battery; a 13-megapixel rear camera; a 5-megapixel front camera, and IPX7 certification.

Considering that the first-generation Moto G was launched back in 2013 at Sao Paulo, Brazil, it is not unlikely Motorola will choose the venue again for the launch of the third generation.

In the meanwhile, a Reddit post claims that the Moto G (Gen 3) may come in two variants: 8GB inbuilt storage with 1GB of RAM, and 16GB storage with 2GB of RAM.

In other leak, Evan Blass has shared an image of the Moto G (Gen 3) with Moto Maker customisation. The tweet said, "moto-g-maker," clearly tipping that the smartphone might come with customisation support at launch. The shared image of the Moto G (Gen 3) goes in line with recent leaks with the rear of the handset featuring an LG-like strip near the rear camera. The vertical silver strip, as previously seen, houses the rear camera at one end and the Motorola logo at the other.

In a separate leak, rear panels of four Motorola handsets have been pictured by Hello Moto HK and claimed to be from the Motorola Droid Mini, Moto G (Gen 3), new Droid and Moto X (Gen 3). Both the Motorola Droid Mini and Droid smartphones feature dotted back panels. In the meanwhile, the Moto G (Gen 3) and Moto X (Gen 3) are seen sporting rear panels with LG-like strip near the rear camera. Both the handsets sport flash placed on the strip at one end and Moto logo at another.
