Moto G5, Moto G5 Plus Specifications, Photos Leaked Again Ahead of MWC 2017 Launch

Lenovo's mid-range Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus smartphones are expected to launch later this month at the company's February 26 event at MWC 2017 in Barcelona. Ahead of the official Moto G5 and Moto G5 Plus unveiling, a Spanish online retailer accidentally listed the yet-to-be-announced smartphones with purported official renders and promotional materials claiming features, specifications, and other details. It's however worth noting that the Spanish listing K-Tronix has since pulled down the listings.
