Motorola maybe working on a pop-up selfie camera phone

After coming up with a few phones with a punch-hole design, Motorola may be looking to spice things up with a phone with a pop-up selfie camera. Phones with pop-up selfie cams have been around for some time now and looks like Motorola is also looking to join the bandwagon soon. The possibly in the works phone has been posted on a Motorola Latin America community page on Facebook and while it doesn’t say much – a whole host of images shared therein leave nothing to the imagination. Note that it isn’t exactly clear if these are all prototype images or images of a product that’s ready to ship to consumers in the days to come.
As per the images shared on Facebook, the unnamed Motorola phone has a near all-screen front thanks to a pop-up selfie cam mechanism. This mechanism falls in line with the design now made common by many Vivo phones. The dual camera setup on the back is also part of this mechanical lifting mechanism – yes, there are two rear cameras in this phone. There's also a physical fingerprint scanner on the back for biometric authentication that should double as a notification LED as well. In one of the images, this ring (which is also home to the Motorola batwing logo) is seen all lit-up.
Software seems to be in line with what we’ve come to expect from Motorola phones now – which is stock Android basically with Moto enhancements. It is yet to be seen if this phone falls in line with the company’s Moto One lineup or if it’s going to belong to another series like the Moto G – or if it will at all make its way beyond this stage at all. More details are awaited.
Moto One Macro coming soon to India
In the meanwhile, Motorola is gearing to launch another camera-focused smartphone, likely the Moto One Macro in India soon. The focus this time round will be on shooting macros or close-up shots. Motorola has started teasing the launch on social media and while the company doesn’t explicitly name the product the accompanying teaser highlights the phone’s macro capabilities.
Rumoured specs of the Motorola One Macro include a 6.2-inch display, an octa-core processor, and a 4,000mAh battery. In terms of cameras, the Motorola One Macro will reportedly come with a 13MP main camera and two 2MP cameras, one of which would seemingly use a macro lens. On the front, the Motorola One Macro is said to come with an 8MP camera.
