Motorola Moto M Spec Leaks Point to SD-625 SoC and 5,100 mAh Battery

Lenovo seems to have a surprise in store for the upcoming holiday season. The Motorola Moto M has had its fair share of leaks for a while, but based on what we’ve learned so far, the device seemed to be just another low-end device. Interest in the device was recently renewed, however, with new reports indicating that we may see Microsoft apps pre-installed on the Moto M which differentiated the device amidst the saturated low-end market, although without much to really get excited over.

But that’s not all up the Moto M’s sleeve. A new leak is providing a ton of more juicy details on the device. First up is a leaked press render of the device, although we do already have a good idea of the device’s design thanks to the previous TENAA listing for the device.

The more interesting tidbits on the device come from the its specifications, though. The Moto M is likely to be powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625. For storage and RAM, there are two distinct models with further sub-divisions. The Moto M aimed at the Chinese market (PRC) will come with 4GB of LPDDR4 RAM with 64GB of eMMC storage. The Moto M for the Rest of the World (ROW) cuts back on some of the specs with its two variants: you’ll either get 3GB or 4GB of LPDDR3 RAM with 32GB of internal storage. Both the PRC and the ROW models will sport expandable storage of up to 128GB via a micro-SD card slot.

But the best part about the Moto M is likely to be its insane battery life, as the specification leak points to the presence of a whopping 5,100 mAh battery on the device. Keep in mind that the Moto M is still very likely to include a 5.5″ 1080p LCD display. Couple that with the efficient Cortex-A53 core setup on the Snapdragon 625 SoC (and obviously, the massive battery capacity), and what you should have is a phone that will easily churn out 2-days of heavy phone usage like a walk in the park.

Curiously, the battery specification mentioned here does not match up entirely with the TENAA listing that was previously spotted, so it is best to keep contain your hype until the product is officially unveiled. That, and the device seems to be launching with Android Marshmallow, which while totally expected of a low/mid-range device is still rather disappointing given that Nougat is already out in the wild.

The Lenovo Motorola Moto M is likely to be launched in December 2016, which is in-line with other leaks pointing to a late 2016 release. We hope to get more concrete info on the device as we approach the launch date.
