Moto M India launch was expected to take place in December this year. And as per expectations, Motorola, the Lenovo-owned Chinese Smartphone maker has sent out media invites for a launch event in Mumbai on December 13.
The invites for Moto M India Launch comes with a tagline, “Mesmerizing, masterful, majestic (just like you),” followed by a sketch of a smartphone’s back panel. The pill-shaped camera module and the circular fingerprint scanner is all the evidence we require to guess that the upcoming smartphone is the Moto M.
The all new Moto device will be expected to launch in two variants of 3GB RAM/32GB ROM and 4GB RAM/64GB ROM at Moto M India Launch.
However, the Moto M was launched in China last month, and it boasts a metal unibody design. It is also among the first Motorola smartphones where the fingerprint scanner is placed at the back. Another talking point of the smartphone is the built-in Dolby ATMOS support and the nano-coating that can save the phone from an accidental splash of water.
Moto M price in India
At the Moto M India Launch, the Moto M is said to be priced Rs 17,000 for 3GB RAM/32GB ROM variant and the 4GB RAM/63GB ROM variant could cost around Rs 20,000. If the Lenovo-owned company were to stick to this price segment, the Moto M would face competition from the likes of the Honor 8 Smart and the Xiaomi Mi 5 to name a few.
