Moto G makes a brief appearance on Motorola's website

Motorola has accidentally leaked the name of its next Moto device. The device named “Moto G” was listed alongside the Moto X on the company’s official website. Though Motorola quickly removed the link, DroidLife has managed to get a screenshot. However, the company hadn’t put up any image of the smartphone.

The Moto G is speculated to be a more budget-oriented variant of the Moto X. Earlier there have been reports about a rumoured Moto device sporting a Motorola DVX moniker and exchangeable colourful back covers. Does this mean we can expect a new Moto smartphone soon?

The Moto X was the first “big” announcement from Motorola ever since Google acquired it. In fact, it is the first phone where the search giant has control over both the hardware and the software. The Moto X is customisable in 504 ways, so there’s a lot to choose from before making a buying choice. There are two options for the front and numerous for the back panel, including two made out of wood. The Moto G may also offer these customisable options.
