Popular Indian online retailer, FlipKart, has accidentally leaked the specifications for the much-anticipated Moto G and Moto X 3rd Generation by mobile maker Motorola. FlipKart quickly removed the details but not before Gadgetraid was able to take note of the snafu, said TehnoBuffalo.

While Motorola has yet to confirm the exact date of the release of the budget-friendly handsets, rumors are spreading that the Moto G and the Moto X 2015 will be released anytime soon, actually between the second and third quarter this year. And with the second quarter of 2015 only one month before it expires and as we await the upcoming third quarter, it will only be just a matter of days before loyal mobile users get a hand of Moto G and the Moto X 2015.

According to the leaked information, the new Moto G 2015 or third generation, comes in white version and packs 8GB of storage, and a micro SD slot for additional memory capacity. A report by Yibada also stated that the Moto G 2015 would sport a 5 inch or 5.2 inch monitor with a 1.7 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 610 SoC supported by 2 GB of RAM and 4G LTE capability. 

Both the MotoG3, the Moto G 2015 handsets will be featuring some changes, particularly in terms of corners and depth. The mobile phone will be powered by dual front side speaker for easy listening and run on the latest Android Lollipop version as well as Bluetooth connectivity options.

GSM Arena reported on its web site that the Motorola Moto X (3rd Gen) comes with 5.2 inches display and protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The handset has no external memory slot but comes in 32GB and 64 GB versions with 4GB of RAM.

The Moto X will run on Android OS, v5.1.1 (Lollipop), Qualcomm Snapdragon 808 chipset and a dual-core 1.8 GHz Cortex-A57 or quad-core 1.44 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU. The handset could come with a 16-megapixel primary camera, and a 5MP front-facing shooter for selfies.

The Moto X comes in white and black variants, according to the web site.

Earlier, we have reported that Motorola's president, Rick Osterloh posted on his Twitter account that provided hints as to the official release of the Moto G and the Moto X 2015. Osterloh explained that Motorolo is following a cycle when releasing new products. The company released the Moto X between August and September 2015, fueling speculations that the 3rd Generation Moto x 2015 will also be released around those months this year.

Motorola has yet to announce the price for both the Moto G and Moto X 2015.
