This is the Moto E5 with Rear-Facing Fingerprint Scanner

 By Vaibhav Jain on January 15, 2018       

Motorola's Moto E line has been one of its most successful lines of low-end phones ever, so it makes sense that Lenovo and Motorola would want to follow-up last year's Moto E4 and Moto E4 Plus with a Moto E5.

An alleged leaked render might just have revealed the first-look of the Moto E4 successor. MySmartPrice refers to the phone pictured below as the Moto E5 Plus. It also states that the device will be available later this year.

Assuming that the leaked render is the final design, the Moto E5 looks like Moto C from the rear and Moto E4 Plus from the front. The fingerprint sensor is moved to the rear with batwing logo thanks to brand new Motorola branding.

There's no information regarding the Price, or Specifications. We got the Moto E4 and E4 Plus last year around July, but Motorola probably needs to release something to get sales back on track. Thoughts?
