Moto X4 to be the base of Motorola's Android One smartphone

Days after Xiaomi revived Google’s forgotten Android One program (read here), popular tipster Evan Blass has leaked photos of an Android One smartphone from Motorola. The smartphone seems to be based on the recently unveiled Moto X4.

The leaked photo shows a smartphone from the back that is identical to the Moto X4 — curved edges, glass body and a dual camera sensor. However, there is an Android One branding at the bottom of the device, marking it aside from the regular X4. No other detail of the device leaked so far.

Since Motorola’s Android One smartphone is also supposed to sport a dual camera setup like the Moto X4, we expect it to sport similar specifications to the Xiaomi Mi A1. This means that apart from the Moto X4’s Snapdragon 630 chipset, it could end up having 4GB RAM and 64GB storage as standard, apart from a 5.2-inch Full HD LCD display and a dual 12MP camera like the Xiaomi Mi A1.

It then seems that smartphone manufacturers are actually treating Android One as a way to offer their popular devices in a stripped and lightened iteration. The only thing to ponder is what difference will a Motorola Android One smartphone have compared to the standard version, provided that Motorola already uses stock Android to power its smartphones.
