What stands out though is the pill-shaped camera module at the back, which is all the evidence we need to guess that the upcoming smartphone is the Moto M. Besides the ‘coming soon’ tag there is currently no word on Motorola’s launch plans.
The Moto M flaunts a metal unibody design, and it is the first smartphone in Motorola’s lineup to feature a fingerprint scanner placed at the back. As is the case with Moto smartphones, the Moto M too boasts nano coating that will save the phone from an accidental splash of water. For audiophiles, the smartphone also comes with built-in Dolby ATMOS support.
