Moto G Max silently launches as a rebranded Moto G87

Motorola launched the Moto G87 back in late April, releasing it in May, and now it's kind of launched it again, in Brazil. But it's called Moto G Max over there for whatever reason.

Trump Mobile T1 Phone teardown confirms it's an HTC in disguise
