 By Vaibhav Jain on October 20, 2016       

Motorola and Lenovo are all set to reveal the newest addition to Moto Family i.e. the Moto M and the Moto M Plus. Both the Smartphones are Mid-Tier phones which will probably replace the Moto X.

Moto M: Codenamed "Kung-Fu" The Smartphone features a a full HD 5.5" display, a MediaTek processor with 4GB of RAM, and a 16/8MP camera set up. Its model number is XT1662 and runs Marshmallow.



In terms of design, expect a gold aluminum unibody and a rear fingerprint scanner. No, it's not on the Motorola dimple. They chose to include the logo on the bottom of its back. The Device has tiny side bezels which makes it looks premium.

Moto M will be the first Motorola Smartphone to feature a rear-facing fingerprint sensor and the first Moto Phone to support "4G+" (which is capable of 90Mbps speeds). The Smartphone comes with Pre-Installed Microsoft Apps including. 

Although we first reported the phone was made by Lenovo and not its Motorola Mobility subsidiary, new information suggests Motorola is behind this new phone. It will show both Lenovo and Motorola brands in the box, but it's manufactured by Motorola Mobility just like previous Moto phones

Moto M and Moto M Plus will be released later this year. We have probably covered most of the features of this Device.
