Unknown Motorola XT1662 smartphone appears on GFXBench

It's widely accepted that the Motorola Moto Z series is the successor to the Moto X despite Lenovo claiming that the Moto Z is its own separate family and is unrelated to the Moto X. In keeping with this statement, a new Motorola smartphone has surfaced on GFXBench with the model name XT1662 to suggest that this may not be a budget device and should instead be a mid-range model fit for the Moto X name. It's still possible that Lenovo may use the Moto X series as a mainstream solution in between the affordable Moto G series and flagship Moto Z series. Last year's Moto X Play, for example, catered well to upper mid-range users.

The GFXBench listing shows the Lenovo smartphone sporting an octa-core MediaTek MT6755 Helio P10 SoC, 3 GB RAM, 32 GB eMMC, and a 4.6-inch 1080p display. Interestingly, Winfuture.de is speculating that the smartphone should be larger at 5-inches compared to the 5.5-inch Moto Z. Rear and front cameras are expected to be 16 MP and 8 MP, respectively, with Android 6.0 Marshmallow. 4K video recording should be possible through the rear camera. The GFXBench listing for the unknown smartphone has since been removed.

A related Motorola XT1650 device was spotted on GeekBench late last April with high-end specifications including a Snapdragon 820 SoC and 4 GB RAM.
