We are just two weeks behind the 2017 Mobile World Congress and companies are gearing up for new launches. Still, they can’t stop the leaks from flooding their path. Motorola Lenovo is hosting an event during the trade show in Barcelona, Spain to unveil one or couple of products.

This time the leak is directly from an online retailer K-Tronix (which have since been deleted).

One thing missing though is the official prices, which we think will be around 11K to 14K price range.
