The Motorola Moto G5 is one of the highly anticipated, and much rumored, devices that will be unveiled at the MWC 2017 in Barcelona. The latest rumor on this not-so-kept-secret is that according to reports, the unit will go on sale in the United Kingdom shortly after its Barcelona debut. MWC 2017 will begin on Feb. 27 and is slated to run until March 2.
The eventual release date of Motorola's smartphone for retailers was posted on Twitter by a journalist and a known tipster Roland Quandt. The listing of the Motorola Moto G5 was from an e-commerce website, Clove, in the UK where it revealed that stocks for the smartphone will be available "mid-March," reports Trusted Reviews.
