It is being said that the phone in question is quite possibly the newest version of the Moto Z and is so far identified by the codename XT1650. Although the said listing didn’t reveal much about the device, it did shed some light on its expected specifications. The phone is reportedly powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset coupled with 3GB RAM.

Further, if one goes by the benchmark listing, the phone will seemingly boot the latest Android 7.0 Nougat (version 7.1.1) out of the box.

Also, it was seen that the rumored 2017 version of the Moto Z has secured decent ratings on the Geekbench website, with a Single-core score of 1930 and a Multi-core score of 6207.

Along with these, the listing also mentioned the date as well as the time when these tests were run on the phone, which, by the looks of it, were run on Saturday.

Officially, though, nothing can be confirmed until and unless the company decides to let a word out regarding the phone. Lenovo has not, till now, issued a single word in this context.

In fact, the company currently seems more focused on its launch event on the 26^th February wherein it is expected to unveil the Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus smartphones.
