The Motorola Moto G 2015 is fast turning into one of the industry’s worst kept secret and thanks to several leaks, we thought we already knew everything there was to know about Motorola’s next handset.

[related_videos title=”Moto in video:” align=”right” type=”custom” videos=”595193,575301,567112,545585,535684,522416″]The leaked photos reveal that the Moto G (2015) will come with an IPx7 Ingress rating, which means you should be able to use it up to 1 metre underwater for up to 30 minutes. Given that the handset is likely to cost between $150 and $200, any form of durability rating will definitely increase the appeal of the smartphone. The handset is also likely to be customisable through the Moto Maker service allowing you to make it truly unique to you.

Thanks to many other leaks, we know most of the specs that Motorola are likely to include with the Moto G (2015). The key specs include what is likely to be a 5-inch HD display (720p, not 1080p sadly), a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 processor with 2GB RAM and two storage options – 16GB and 32GB – which are likely to be expandable. On the back, the Moto G (2015) is expected to sport a 13MP rear camera with a 5MP front facing snapper and 2470 mAh also making it onboard.

Motorola is holding an event in London and New York City on July 28th where the company is expected to unveil the Moto G (2015) and based on the invite, it could be joined by the Moto X (2015). Whatever Motorola do announce, we’ll be there to bring you the information as it happens so stay tuned and we’ll reveal everything you need to know about this year’s Moto G in a week’s time!
