Possible Moto M sequel, loaded with deca-core chip, appears on Geekbech

A phone labeled as the Lenovo XT1902-03 has been discovered on Geekbench. The XT prefix for a model number often indicates a Motorola handset and there is speculation that this device is the sequel to the Moto M. That assumption was reached based on the chipset found on last year's device, and comparing it to the SoC used on the unknown model that is the focus of the benchmark test.

The XT1902-03 features a Helio P20 MediaTek MT6797 chipset carrying a deca-core CPU. For the test, the ten cores were running at a clock speed of 1.85GHz. The device sports 4GB of RAM inside, and Android 7.1.1 is pre-installed. The Moto M contains a Helio P15 MediaTek SoC with an octa-core CPU under the hood.

Motorola recently unveiled the Moto Z2 Play and launched the Moto C, and we expect to see at least one more phone introduced on June 21st. More Moto branded handsets should be announced over the next few weeks. The Moto E4 Plus and its massive 5000mAh battery could greet the light of day on July 17th.

As for the just discovered Geekbench listing, the XT-1902-03 scored 1163 on the single-core test, and 4836 for the multi-core test. That is a vast improvement over the Moto M's Geekbench scores of  741 and 2487 for the single-core and multi-core tests respectively.
