It is easier for companies to design a phone with Android 7.0 Nougat than to update it later. Moto is working on its 2017 lineup, which is expected to have Nougat out of the box. Moto G5 and G5 Plus are expected to be one of the first smartphones announced in 2017, but Moto is also working on a device codenamed Cedric.
The handset was spotted over at the FCC and has several model numbers: XT1670, XT1671, XT1675, and XT1676. Different model numbers correspond to slightly different phone variants, depending on market.
It comes with 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB or 32 GB of storage, a 2,800 mAh removable battery, 4G LTE and Android 7.0 Nougat.
