Motorola Moto G5, Moto G5 Plus teased in countdown clock on company site


Motorola has started creating hype around its upcoming event at the side-lines of MWC 2017 in Barcelona later this month. The company's Germany website is now hosting a strange countdown which is set at 20 days and few hours to go - hinting at the company's February 26 event just ahead of the MWC trade show.

The company website teasing a countdown to launch also includes a golden octopus with no indication of what it's meant to signify. The legendary Moto logo can be seen in the centre with the octopus weaved into it. The countdown is possibly a teaser for the launch of the Moto G5. Lenovo is widely rumoured to unveil the Moto G5 smartphone alongside the Moto G5 Plus later this month. A recent report even claimed that the Moto G5 will be going on sale shortly after the Motorola event and the countdown could be eventually set for that. We have to wait for the company's confirmation though.
