To recollect, this is not the first time we are seeing the live renders of the Moto G5 (and Moto G5 Plus) as there were many design leaks (both press renders and in-hand images) before. All of these rumors, though, pointed at an all-metal design with a removable back to swap batteries. Also, the company is said to do away with the capsule-shaped camera setup at the back for a circular module similar to the one seen on Moto Z series smartphones. Moreover, the fingerprint scanner in the image renders seems to be more rectangular-ish with rounded corners.

The Moto G5 and G5 Plus, for the first time, will have a Lenovo branding on one of the sides. The Moto branding — a big ‘M’ will, of course, find a place for itself on the back.
