Moto G22 specs leak alongside renders

Last month the upcoming Moto G22 first surfaced in a benchmark run, and given its "Motherboard" designation there was a widespread assumption it was using MediaTek's Helio P35 SoC. However, today a new comprehensive specs leak contradicts that, saying instead that the Moto G22 will be powered by the Helio G37. Thus, there will be no 5G connectivity on offer here.
