Motorola Pro Canned, Motorola Pro+ Incoming

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.

Motorola have been back and forth making a decision whether to bring the Motorola Pro to the UK market. 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. You can pre-order the Motorola Pro+ from the Clove website later today. In the meantime, checkout the teaser video and spec sheet below.
