Lenovo owned Motorola has sent out media invites for a launch event scheduled for October 14 in Shenzhen, China. The invite says it will be unveiling new products, but gave no hints on what specific products are to be unveiled and there are speculations that the Moto G5S and G5S Plus are among the products to be unveiled. These devices are completely not new products, they were first announced in a couple of markets some months back, but never in China.
While the invite seen below doesn’t reveal anything on what possibly could be unveiled at the event there are indications that the grapefruit, enclosed in a box highlight the fresh new, re-branded Moto line and could also mean that some rebranded Moto phones are coming to the Chinese market.
It is worth noting that both Moto G5S and G5S Plus about a month ago received Chinese TENAA certification-an indication that it could be launched in the Country anytime.
