Motorola yesterday announced the Motorola Pro+, effectively replacing the Motorola Pro which will not now see a UK release. It is slightly disappointing news regarding the Pro, the situation has chopped and changed somewhat since its announcement at MWC in February, but at least there is a follow up device on its way.
Back in April we reported that the Motorola Pro would no longer come to the UK, only to be told in June that the decision had been reversed and the Pro was back on track for a UK release. It wouldn’t make sense to launch one handset, only to release a successor shortly after, so the Motorola Pro will not now come to the UK. However, the Motorola Pro+ will come to the UK and is expected to be available late October/early November. We’’ have the Motorola Pro+ available to pre-order on the Clove website later today. In the meantime, checkout the teaser video and spec sheet below.
