The Motorola Moto M is the first Moto handset to have a rear-facing fingerprint scanner, which is accessed by pressing on a button under the 16MP rear-facing camera. A 5MP front-facing camera handles selfies and video chats. The 'Moto' logo is underneath the glass screen, while on the bottom of the rear cover is the Motorola batwings logo.
The XT1662 version of the phone that is heading to China will come with Microsoft apps pre-installed such as Skype, Microsoft Office and OneDrive. With a code name of Kung Fu, the Moto M comes with a 5.5-inch screen carrying a 1080 x 1920 resolution (FHD). The MediaTek MT6755 SoC is under the hood equipped with an octa-core 2.1GHz CPU, and the Mali-T860 MP2 GPU. 4GB of RAM is inside, along with 32GB of flash memory. A 3000mAh battery keeps the lights on, and Android 6.0 is pre-installed.
Besides the XT1662 which is reportedly heading to China only, another version of the phone will be released in other Asian markets. With the phone listed on Skinomi's website, we should see the Moto M unveiled in the not too distant future.
