Moto G launched in India for Rs 12,499; available on Flipkart
New Delhi: Launching its first handset in India after a nearly two-year hiatus, Motorola today announced that the much-awaited Moto G is priced at Rs 12,499 for 8 GB version and Rs 13,999 for the 16 GB variant. In the US, Moto G -- with no contract, no SIM lock and an 'unlockable bootloader' -- is priced at around USD 179 (about Rs 11,200) with 8 GB of storage and USD 199 (about Rs 12,400) for the 16 GB version. After being acquired by Google in May 2012, Motorola Mobility stopped introducing new products in India. However, the firm continued with its operation in the Indian market. The smartphone, which the firm claims will give the users a premium smartphone experience for a third of the price of the current high-end phones, will be available exclusively through e-commerce marketplace player Flipkart from tomorrow.
