The much anticipated Moto G5 Plus is expected to make an appearance during this year’s Mobile World Congress. The alleged smartphone was spotted on a retailer’s listing recently. And just last month, even a prototype of the phone appeared on the web, where an OLX user apparently sold the Moto G5 Plus for a price of $387. The user listing also revealed key specs and live images of the Moto G5 Plus bearing the model number XT1685.
The latest Moto G5 Plus leak comes via Roland Quandt, who posted a picture of the smartphone and also revealed some of its key specs on his Twitter account.
