Motorola is known for making affordable smartphones with clean software, but the company released the Motorola Edge S in China last month which was the first device powered by the Snapdragon 870 chipset. Rumors suggest that the phone could be heading to the global market as Moto G100, as another device bearing the same powerful chipset was seen on a benchmarking website.
