Moto G100 leak shows Motorola’s Snapdragon 870 phone is going global (Updated)
- The Motorola Edge S is seemingly headed to global markets as the Moto G100.
- A fresh leak has revealed more renders and specs of the phone.
- The global model may get a dedicated Google Assistant key.
Update: March 22, 2021 (3:54 aM ET): The Moto G100 has now leaked via tipster Evan Blass who has posted the phone’s renders as well as complete specs.
Once again confirming suspicions, Blass’ leak reveals that the Moto G100 is the same phone as the Motorola Edge S.
It’s powered by the Snapdragon 870, contains 256GB of internal storage, and an impressive 12GB of RAM. The device will also get a MicroSD slot for up to 1TB of storage expansion.
Other Moto G100 specs leaked by Blass also match those of the Motorola Edge S.
The tipster says that the phone will be sold alongside an HDMI cradle to give it a PC-like desktop experience when connected to a monitor and other input peripherals.
Original article: March 16, 2021 (2:50 AM ET): Back in January, the Motorola’s Edge S became the first phone to carry the flagship-class Snapdragon 870 processor. However, the device only launched in China at the time, with no word on global availability up until now. Renders of the so-called Moto G100 have now leaked, all but confirming that it’ll be a rebranded Edge S for global markets.
Images of the phone come courtesy of Techniknews and XDA journalist Adam Conway. They show that the Moto G100 is identical to the Motorola Edge S in form and most likely in specs.
The leak also mentions just like its Chinese counterpart, the Moto G100 will also get a 6.7-inch LCD Full HD+ display with a 90Hz refresh rate.
There are two punch-hole cameras on the front as well as “64MP Audio Zoom” branding at the back, suggesting that the rest of the specs of the phone may also remain unchanged.
The leak, however, mentions that the European model of the phone will get a dedicated Google Assistant button on the left side.
Motorola is already teasing the launch of a Snapdragon 870 phone and with this leak, it’s pretty obvious we have a rebrand on our hands. The Moto G100 moniker also recently appeared on an official Google support page, suggesting it might be heading for launch soon. The company is apparently sending out save the dates for March 25, so that could be the day the phone is unveiled.
