Leaked images of Motorola's upcoming Moto G4 Plus recently revealed its display and fingerprint scanner. Now, photos of what is reportedly the Moto G4 have hit the Web, giving us a glimpse of its rear camera, screen and biometric reader.

Motorola is having a tough time reclaiming the days when it released iconic devices like the StarTac, RAZR and 2009's Motorola Droid, which made its debut on Verizon and was one of the first Android smartphones to take a bite out of Apple's iPhone, which was still an exclusive on AT&T.

In 2011 Google announced it had bought Motorola Mobility for $12.5 billion and the acquisition was largely viewed as Google's way of entering the hardware business to compete with Apple. The honeymoon didn't last long and Google ended up selling Motorola to Lenovo in 2014 at a huge loss, for $2.91 billion.

As a parting gift, Google enlisted Motorola to build its 2014 flagship Nexus 6 phablet and under Lenovo, it released the new Moto X, Moto G, Moto E and Droid smartphones. In January, a Lenovo executive confirmed that Moto-branded smartphones were on the horizon and in an effort to address security, would all include fingerprint scanners.

We just reported that an image of what is supposedly the Moto G4 Plus has leaked and the photo clearly shows the smartphone will include a fingerprint scanner below its display.

Now, new images of what is reportedly the Motorola Moto G4 have leaked online and provide a close-up view of its rear camera and display, which features the same square fingerprint scanner as the earlier device.

The Moto G4 images were posted to Weibo and as you can see in the image above, the design of the smartphone matches the Moto G4 Plus. The fingerprint scanner is embedded on the display and a microphone hole is located on the left.

Another image shows the rear case of the Moto G4, which includes Motorola's "M" logo below its camera, which features an LED flash and two sensors, believed to possibly be laser autofocus.

No information regarding the Moto G4's specs was revealed but as always, we'll keep you posted on any new information as it becomes available.
