Motorola sends out invites to 26 February event, likely for new phone
Motorola is teasing a new phone launch.
The Lenovo-owned company has sent out an event invitation of a Moto smartphone casting a shadow in the shape of the Sagrada Familia church in Barcelona, where Mobile World Congress is annually held. The company scheduled its event for 26 February.
MWC 2017 kicks off the next day, 27 February.
Several companies, including Samsung and LG, often release new phones at the largest trade show for the mobile industry. Motorola is hinting that it has a new Moto phone in the pipeline – possibly a mid-ranger, considering high-end Moto phones usually come out later in the year. The most likely scenario is that Motorola will showcase a new Moto G. The line is due for an update after all.

Motorola is holding its event at 4:30pm local time. Pocket-lint will be reporting from MWC 2017, so stay tuned.
