Moto G4 leaked once again, a day before the official launch of the much awaited device of Motorola. The press render came from the famous Evan Blass, who presented the frontal part of the new device through his Twitter @evleaks. Blass uploaded a photo matched with the phrase "say hello to your little brother," linking the photo to one of his old Moto G leaks. As noticed by some, the leaked Moto G4 image has a strong resemblance to the Goolge Nexus 4.

While the Moto G4 leak gave hints about the idea that the recent photo was from the similar neighborhood, some reports indicate that the little brother photo belongs to the Moto E series. However, the tipster later pointed out that the recent photo is of the Moto G4 and further stated that the "little brother" reference was meant to bring the bigger Moto G4 Pro into the scene. The two devices are scheduled for launch on May 17, Tuesday at a public gathering.

Some reports also noted the naming strategy of the Motorola devices, which could be confusing for consumers. Like for instance, it is difficult to tell why the company chose the G4 when there have been no G3 or G2 versions before. Others speculate that the reason could be due to the fact that the manufacturer released the three models of Moto phones before the G4, PC Advisor reported.

Meanwhile, other Motorola device that is expected to come with a fingerprint sensor is the upcoming Moto X4, which has also leaked recently. The device appears to have the screen protection tech from ShatterShield, which was initially seen in the  Motorola Droid Turbo 2, GSM Arena reported.

Motorola Moto G4 and Moto G4 Plus are going to be presented in two media events taking place in New Delhi and Mexico, as announced by the company. During the past weeks, several leaks have emerged in the media, along with information regarding the two devices. Based on reports, the Moto G4 Plus is more likely to come with the fingerprint scanner in the home button.
